Calorine Matthiesen – WORLÉE
Polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) have become firmly established in the formulation world – and for good reason: they offer an outstanding combination of mechanical strength, flexibility, chemical and water resistance, and versatile tuning options in terms of hardness, drying behavior, adhesion, and environmental performance.
The backbone of PUDs consists of polyols and diisocyanates, which are combined to create finely tailored polymer structures (Fig. 1).
These form segmented polymers composed of soft and hard domains, giving the film its signature balance of elasticity and durability.
Whether for wood, plastics, metal, leather, or textiles – with the right PUD formulation, even the most demanding surfaces can be coated with high functionality and aesthetic quality.
Worlée’s current PUD portfolio includes four specialized products designed for a wide range of applications (Tab. 1):
– parquet and furniture coatings: high scratch and abrasion resistance, block resistance, fast drying.
– Leather and textile applications: soft, elastic films with pleasant touch and high tensile strength.
– Sustainable coating systems: bio-based and regional raw materials, low VOC content.
– Adhesion primers for plastics and metals: excellent bonding to challenging substrates.
The ideal balance of performance and sustainability: Worlée PDF VP 2011 CA
WorléePUD VP 2011 CA represents a new generation of polyurethane dispersions that achieve both technical excellence and ecological responsibility.
What sets it apart is the integration of camelina oil into the binder matrix – a fast-growing, regionally sourced plant oil with an outstanding sustainability profile.
Unlike traditional oils, camelina does not compete with food crops and supports biodiversity through mixed cultivation.
Key technical benefits of WorléePUD VP 2011 CA
– Excellent mechanical properties – ideal for demanding substrates such as wood.
– Exceptional water and chemical resistance – including resistance to typical household cleaners.
– Broad compatibility – can be blended with acrylate dispersions and alkyd emulsions.
– Controlled drying – oxidative curing can be fine-tuned via targeted drier systems.
This blend of sustainability and performance makes WorléePUD VP 2011 CA an ideal solution for forward-thinking coating systems.
It is particularly well suited for decorative and architectural coatings, where it delivers strong hardness development and long-lasting film integrity (Fig. 2).
