SEETHAN® brand

SURFACE FINISHING FOR FOAMS, WOOD, METAL AND TEXTILES

Flexibility to suit your needs

SEETHAN® is a high-quality polyurethane-based product for the seamless and highly elastic surface finishing of resilient foams, metal, wood and textiles.

The formulations of our products are flexible kits. The individual SEETHAN® types can be adapted to your individual requirements when required.

Our SEETHAN® product line is characterised by its wide range of applications:

  • Foam coating
  • Foam colourant
  • Foam glue
  • Wood paint
  • Peel-off film
Both open-pored and closed-pored polyurethane foams can be used for coating.

Colouring of polyurethane foam is possible even without any problems.

SEETHAN® can also be used as a foam adhesive for elastic bonding of polyurethane foams.

Our dispersion-based polyurethane wood paint is breathable, water-repellent and durable.

The high flexibility of the product is also revealed in its use as a peel-off film. Our polyurethane film for the protection of high-quality components can be easily removed as well.

Foam coatings

In the case of untreated surfaces of elastic and open-cell polyurethane foams, foreign substances in the form of particles, liquids, air, … penetrate the foam. In the case of a dishwashing sponge in the kitchen, for example, this property is desirable, but it quickly affects its service life. It gets dirty, forms germs and must be disposed of relatively quickly. In comparison, imagine the surface of an orthopedic leg prosthesis, a storage rail in a hospital, or a child’s toy. Here, contamination of the component must not occur under any circumstances. With our seamless and highly elastic foam coating SEETHAN® you protect and refine these surfaces.

You can meet these requirements with SEETHAN®:

  • Coating of components with free-form surfaces that cannot be laminated at all with sheeting or only with great effort.
  • Seamless surfaces without visible seams, glued joints, …
  • Highly elastic surfaces that are as flexible as the foam

Polyurethane

The basis of our products is polyurethane, one of the highest quality raw materials of our time. We offer a perfected product line with the highest quality standard. Through ongoing strict controls, we guarantee the absolutely consistent quality of our products – always the solid basis for long-term success on the world market.

You can see with your own eyes which type of coating you like. You usually know best what requirements this surface finish must meet.

Surface

Non-shrinking types ensure contour accuracy, whereas shrinking formulations produce smooth, decorative surfaces even on moulded or milled foams.

The structure of the coating (skin, leather, textile, stone, …) is determined by the SEETHAN® type used and the application technique.

Layer thickness depending on the SEETHAN® type between 10 µm for wafer-thin, highly elastic coatings and 250 µm for resistant, spray leather-like coatings.

Gloss of the coating (glossy, satin, matt) is determined by the type of SEETHAN® used and the application technique.

Flexibility

  • Temperature application range from -30°C to +95°C
    (-22° F to +203° F)
  • Elasticity up to 750 %
  • Available in almost all RAL, Pantone and special colours
  • Flame retardant
  • Electrically conductive
  • Shrinking

Environmental influences

  • Resistant to water, oils, common cleaning agents, fuels and many other chemicals
  • Long life time
  • High durability
  • Coating is physiologically harmless when dry

Container sizes & prices

  • Container sizes available are 200 litre (43.9 imp gal) lidded drums, 30 litre (6.6 imp gal) hobbocks and 12 litre (2.6 imp gal) buckets.
  • The price per sqm ranges from EUR 1 to EUR 30, depending on the type, material application and purchase quantity.

Processing

  • Processing is carried out by spraying with compressed air paint spray guns. After evaporation of the fast-volatile, organic solvents, a physiologically harmless, highly elastic polyurethane film is formed.
  • The drying time depends on the SEETHAN® type, the material application quantity and the drying temperature.
  • The degree of air permeability to water repellency of the dried layer depends on the SEETHAN® type and the material application quantity.
  • The material is a highly flammable liquid as delivered.
  • The technical equipment must be designed to be explosion-proof.
  • The notes in the technical information, the processing instructions and the safety data sheet must be observed.

Foam glue

A classic glue / adhesive, usually a different material than the components to be bonded, creates the bond through surface adhesion and its internal strength (cohesion). Our SEETHAN® one-component foam adhesive is the same material as the polyurethane foam and fuses the components to be bonded instead of just gluing them together. This creates a 100% bond between the two foam parts.

These requirements can be met with SEETHAN® foam adhesive:

  • Bonding of components with free-form surfaces that cannot be bonded at all with sheet material or only with great effort.
  • With low material application, in contrast to an adhesive film or a classic adhesive, the bonded joint is as elastic as the foam itself.
  • Elongation capacity up to 750 %
  • Temperature application range from -30 °C to 100 °C

Processing

  • Processing can be carried out by spraying with compressed air paint spray guns or by brushing with a brush. After evaporation of the fast-volatile, organic solvents, a physiologically harmless, highly elastic adhesive layer is formed.
  • The open time depends on the quantity applied. The thinner the adhesive is applied, the shorter the open time. The extension of the open time can be additionally controlled with a retarder.
  • The drying time depends on the quantity applied and the component geometry. The thinner the adhesive is applied and the smaller, the shorter the drying time. The freshly bonded components should dry overnight to allow the organic solvents to evaporate completely.
  • Only components made of flexible polyurethane foam can be bonded.
  • The material is a highly flammable liquid when delivered.
  • The technical equipment must be designed to be explosion-proof.
  • Variant: The components can first be coated with our SEETHAN® foam coating and then bonded directly. This gives you maximum freedom in terms of geometry.
