DSM NeoResins+ has successfully developed NeoRez® R-9407, a new polyurethane dispersion for the parquet coatings industry. NeoRez® R-9407 is a self crosslinking water based aromatic urethane and specially developed for fast curing 1 component wood floor finishes. This innovative resin offers excellent performances like black heel mark and scuff resistance, high gloss and excellent wood wetting and shows the same durability and amber look compared to the traditional solvent borne resins.

NeoRez® R-9407 meets the growing environmental needs of the coatings market by being VOC compliant (according to the VOC regulations in North America). These VOC regulations put pressure on traditional solvent borne coatings. This product supports the coatings industry in a responsible and environmentally friendly way, while meeting the end-users expectations.
