Abstract

[Objective/Significance] In recent years,driven by innovations in application processes,emerging industry demands,and the deepening implementation of China’s“dual carbon” policy,higher requirements have been placed on systematic research and technological innovation fortwo-component waterborne polyurethane coating.[Analysis/Discussion/Progress] This papersystematically elaborates on the crosslinking and curing reaction mechanisms and film-forming processes oftwo-component waterborne polyurethane,analyzing the causes of common defects and approaches toformulation optimization. It provides a focused review of research advances in applications across railtransit vehicles,automotive interiors,furniture,anti-corrosion,construction,and new energy sectors, and introduces the latest progress in the application of novel bio-based raw materials in two-componentwaterborne polyurethane coating systems.[Conclusions/Prospect] Research demonstrates that continuous innovation in two-component waterborne polyurethane coating technology has effectivelydriven industrial upgrading and high-quality development in the coatings industry,providing a viable technological pathway for the synergistic achievement of green manufacturing and“dual carbon”goals, with significant strategic value and broad application prospects.
