DSM NeoRez U-391 Polyurethane Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of NeoRez U-391 in waterborne coating formulations?

A: NeoRez U-391 is a self-emulsifying, anionic polyurethane dispersion designed to enhance film formation, flexibility, and mechanical durability—particularly in high-performance architectural, industrial, and protective coatings where toughness and low-temperature coalescence are critical.


Q2: Can NeoRez U-391 be used in combination with acrylic dispersions?

A: Yes, NeoRez U-391 exhibits excellent compatibility with many common acrylic dispersions and is frequently blended to improve block resistance, scrub resistance, and substrate adhesion without compromising gloss or clarity in clearcoat systems.


Q3: How should NeoRez U-391 be incorporated into a formulation to avoid destabilization?

A: It is recommended to add NeoRez U-391 during the let-down stage, after pH adjustment and under gentle agitation. Avoid direct addition to highly acidic or strongly cationic components, and always verify compatibility via small-scale trials before full-scale production.


Q4: Is NeoRez U-391 suitable for low-VOC or zero-VOC coating systems?

A: Yes—NeoRez U-391 is supplied as a water-based dispersion with negligible VOC content and is widely selected for formulating compliant low-VOC architectural paints, maintenance coatings, and specialty finishes targeting green building standards.
