This information supports material selection and technical discussion. Final suitability should be confirmed under the customer’s actual formulation, substrate, process and end-use test conditions.
PRODUCT POSITIONING

Where does it fit in an application discussion?

The current TDS identifies RU-6880 as an aliphatic matte PUD based on polycarbonate chemistry. It is a practical starting candidate when a matte finish must be evaluated together with abrasion and scratch resistance, cold and hydrolysis resistance, as well as coating stability and leveling. The TDS also notes that crosslinker addition can improve physical properties; the exact crosslinker system and dosage should be validated in the customer formulation.

Storage and handling from the current TDS

The current FAST TDS states storage in sealed original packaging at 5°C–40°C for at least one year. Reseal the package after use, use opened material as soon as practical, protect the product from freezing, and mix thoroughly before use.

BEFORE SAMPLING

Information that speeds up material matching

Model selection is rarely driven by one property. Sharing the substrate, coat position, surface target and test requirements reduces unnecessary trial cycles.

Surface targetDescribe gloss / matte target, transparency, hand feel and any visual requirements.
Performance testsProvide the required abrasion, scratch, hydrolysis, flex, cold, aging or other test standards.
Process conditionsShare coating method, drying / curing conditions and any crosslinker or additive system already in use.
Project contextInclude end use, target market / region and any customer-specific compliance requirements.
TECHNICAL FAQ

About RU-6880

Is RU-6880 polycarbonate-based?

Yes. The current TDS names RU-6880 “Matte Polyurethane Resin (Polycarbonate)” and identifies it as an aliphatic matte polyurethane dispersion.

What appearance is documented?

The product is listed as a milky white liquid; the TDS describes a soft, elastic film and matte positioning.

Which applications are listed?

Leather, synthetic leather, microfiber (PU/PVC), automotive leather, furniture leather and luggage are listed.

Does the TDS mention crosslinkers?

Yes. It notes that adding crosslinking agents can improve physical properties. The specific crosslinker system should be validated for the customer formulation.
