Abstract: Abstract Two Polyurethane/polysiloxane hybrid coatings were compared using both real time exposure and accelerated weathering. The urethane coatings were differentiated by oligoesters selection with one being derived from cyclohexane diacids (CHDA) and 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol (BEPD) and… read more here.
