Why is it important?

Some toluene diisocyanate (TDI)-based polyurethane resins (PURs) for coating applications were synthesized with castor oil and their performance was estimated under accelerated UV weathering with and without a novel UV absorber.

Perspectives

Commercial Tinuvin P and benzotriazole-based novel UV absorbers were found to improve the photoresistance of the PUR coating, and the highest efficiency of the novel UV absorber against weathering was estimated at 0.5 wt% concentration.
