Direct-to-metal (DTM) is a coating characteristic required in many markets. In particular, the light industrial and do it yourself markets require simple easy to use one component formulations. The ever changing market requirements compel the formulator to stay current on new resin developments to meet these challenges. This presentation will focus on oxidatively curing polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) which provide unique opportunities for the formulation of coatings for DTM applications. Key coating performance requirements will be linked to choices of the resin building blocks and their use in ambient temperature curing coatings formulations.
