Product description
Bayhydrol® UH 2889 is an aliphatic polyurethane resin dispersion which is suitable for decorative peelable coatings applications in the automotive aftermarket. It is also suitable for protective coatings for transportationand construction applications
Applications
On demand customization is made possible with Bayhydrol® UH 2889 for decorative and protective peelable coating systems. For the automotive aftermarket, key properties include superior gasoline resistance, improved scratch resistance, and greater efficiency. Heavy duty properties combined with a safe and easy removal process allows users to customize the appearance of their vehicle.
