Polyisocyanates VESTANAT®
Composite materials exhibit a limited weathering durability, which is attributable to the inherent properties of matrix systems used nowadays, such as epoxy or unsaturated polyesters. The epoxy-based gel coats perform unsatisfactorily outdoors, too. It is thus essential to use aliphatic, non-yellowing polyurethanes (PUR), either as a gel coat or as a coating, for exterior applications like rotor blades or yachts.
With its VESTANAT® polyisocyanates, Evonik offers crosslinkers for light-stable PUR coatings.
