Custom Polyurethane Dispersions
At Hauthaway, we specialize in the development and testing of custom polyurethane dispersions. Our aqueous polyurethane dispersions are very versatile and are used in a diverse array of applications including interior automotive plastics, concrete and wood flooring, roof coatings, leather and textiles.
When customers need a special polymer, they can count on us. Hauthaway offers a comprehensive selection of stock polymers, but our laboratory is more than capable of modifying these polymers for specific applications. Our polymer Synthesis team will consult with the client to design the ideal product. Once the polymer is prototyped, our Applications team will provide performance data using in-house testing capabilities. They also offer user-friendly, starting point formulations that make the product easy to apply.
We are ISO 9001:2008 certified and provide quality control testing to verify all materials meet customer specifications and applicable industry standards.
Custom orders can be manufactured in as little as 10 days, with stocking programs available to further minimize turnaround time. For additional information about our custom polyurethane dispersions, see the table below, or contact us directly.
