    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_polyurethane...

    Industrial Insulation. Rigid polyurethane foam is used in various industries to provide thermal insulation to installations and pipes. In particular, the piping for district heating systems in Europe is primarily insulated using a pre-insulated pipes sandwich assembly composed of a steel heat service pipe, an insulating layer (polyurethane foam) and a polyethylene (PE) casing, which are bonded ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varnish

    Natural resins used for varnish include amber, kauri gum, dammar, copal, rosin (colophony or pine resin), sandarac, balsam, elemi, mastic, and shellac. Varnish may also be created from synthetic resins such as acrylic, alkyd, or polyurethane. A varnish formula might not contain any added resins at all since drying oils can produce a varnish ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane

    This is of particular interest in the area of polyurethane coatings, where light stability is a critical factor and is the main reason that aliphatic isocyanates are used in making polyurethane coatings. When PU foam, which is made using aromatic isocyanates, is exposed to visible light, it discolors, turning from off-white to yellow to reddish ...

  5. Spray foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

    Spray foam insulation or spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an alternative to traditional building insulation such as fiberglass. A two-component mixture composed of isocyanate and polyol resin comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam that is sprayed onto roof tiles, concrete slabs, into wall cavities, or through holes ...

  6. Anti-graffiti coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-graffiti_coating

    Permanent coatings are often more expensive than sacrificial coatings, but if used appropriately only have to be applied once. These work by creating a protective surface that spray paint cannot bond to. After the surface has been vandalized, often all that is needed to remove the paint is a simple solvent and some manual labor. The underlying ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_stripper

    Paint remover is applied to an aircraft's landing gear during an inspection looking for cracks in the aluminum. Paint stripper or paint remover is a chemical product designed to remove paint, finishes, and coatings, while also cleaning the underlying surface. Chemical paint removers are advantageous because they act on any kind of geometry and ...

    Relatively safe once VOCs evaporate, uses petroleum based solvents Moderate. Brush, roll or spray. Brushing needs good technique to avoid bubbles and streaks. Can be stripped using paint removers Cures hard yet flexible, gloss or satin finish. Polyurethane oil based varnish: Slight ambering, comes in a variety of sheen

  9. Chemical Agent Resistant Coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_Agent_Resistant...

    Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) is a paint commonly applied to military vehicles to provide protection against chemical and biological weapons. [1] [2] The surface of the paint is engineered to be easily decontaminated after exposure to chemical warfare and biological warfare agents. The paint is also resistant to damage and removal by ...
