Product Overview

Polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) represent the premium tier of water-based binder technology. Their distinctive urethane backbone delivers a combination of toughness, flexibility, adhesion, and chemical resistance that is difficult to achieve with acrylic chemistry alone. JCT’s PUD range spans aliphatic grades (excellent UV stability, suitable for exterior and decorative applications) and aromatic grades (higher performance-to-cost ratio for interior and industrial use).

Our self-crosslinking PUD grades eliminate the need for external crosslinkers, simplifying formulation and improving pot life.
