Hard PUD grades that combine scratch and stain resistance with the clarity and weatherability premium wood finishes demand.
Our coating-grade dispersions deliver high pencil hardness, excellent blocking resistance and good clarity for wood furniture, cabinetry and industrial wood protection — outperforming conventional acrylics in toughness.
High hardness and scratch resistance
Excellent hot-blocking resistance
Good clarity and leveling
Low VOC, waterborne systems
Clear and pigmented topcoats with high clarity and chemical resistance.
Tough films for traffic-wear and stain resistance on wood substrates.
Protective coats on doors, mouldings and engineered wood.
Layer build, clarity and blocking resistance depend on resin hardness and cure.
Substrate prepared; sealer fills grain and builds adhesion.
Stain or base coats build color and smooth the surface.
Hard PUD top layers deliver gloss, hardness and feel.
Air or forced dry; hot-block test before stacking and ship.
Substrate, sheen and chemical resistance narrow the YT-CT shortlist.

Anionic aliphatic PUD with pencil hardness HB — smooth films with excellent solvent, water and low-temperature resistance and good adhesion; for waterborne paper inks, leather finishing and metal surface coatings.
View grade →
Anionic aliphatic PUD with smooth, scratch- and abrasion-resistant films (HB hardness) — eco-compliant protective coating for metal, glass and wood surfaces.
View grade →
Anionic aliphatic PUD with pencil hardness 1H — excellent water, solvent and abrasion resistance with good adhesion; for nail polish, wood coatings, metal surfaces and industrial paints.
View grade →Our coating-grade PUD typically offers better toughness and hot-blocking than conventional acrylics at similar gloss — we recommend panel tests on your substrate.
Some grades work across layers; for premium furniture we often pair a flexible sealer with a harder topcoat — share your layer structure.
Yes — self-matting and compatible matting agents are available; specify target gloss and clarity.
Room-temperature or low-temperature forced air; full properties develop over 7–14 days depending on formulation and humidity.
Describe your substrate, sheen level and performance spec — we'll recommend YT-CT or related grades.
