What is the difference between PU paint and PE paint?

- 2024-04-07-

PU paint and PE paint are two common types of paint, which differ in chemical composition, properties and uses:


chemical composition:


PU paint is polyurethane paint, and its main component is polyurethane resin. Polyurethane paint can be divided into single-component and two-component. It is often used for surface coating of woodworking, metal, plastic and other materials. It has good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, weather resistance and gloss.

PE paint is polyester paint, and its main component is polyester resin. Polyester paints are usually two-component and contain cross-linking agents. It is often used in fields such as anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and chemical resistance on metal surfaces.

characteristic:


The properties of PU paint include abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, weather resistance and high gloss. It can form a strong protective film, making the painted surface more beautiful and durable.

PE paint has excellent anti-corrosion properties and chemical stability, and can maintain the quality of the painted surface for a long time in harsh environments.

use:


PU paint is widely used in furniture, wood products, automobiles, ships, electrical appliances and other fields, as well as some surface coatings that require high gloss and durability.

PE paint is mainly used in metal structures, pipes, containers, chemical equipment and other fields to provide excellent anti-corrosion and chemical corrosion resistance.
