Looking at this structure, PChem and HChem Polyols have OH (hydroxyl) functional group on the side chain of polymer backbone
through many monomer units. This is different from other polyols like polyether polyols or polyester polyols that only has OH functional
groups on the polymer chain ends. Acrylic polyols enable to control the crosslink density more effectively. The other strengths of acrylic
polyols over other polyols are:

Faster drying time

Higher surface gloss
Higher surface hardness
Better chemical and solvent resistances
Superior weathering resistance

Conventional two-component polyurethane (PU) system is successfully used in various applications such as topcoats and clear coats,
automotive repair coatings, industrial paints, furniture lacquers, plastic coatings, and adhesives etc. For instance, the crosslinking
chemistry, based on the hydroxyl functional group (-OH) on the PChem and HChem grades with polyisocyanate hardeners

(containing --NCO functional group), can be used in the proportion NCO/OH=1.5/1, results in crosslinked structure of PU with excellent
outdoor durability, outstanding chemical resistance and mechanical properties. The urethane linkage in the polymer backbone provides
high chemical resistance and high density of hydrogen bonding results in the formation of a stable network, which contributes to the
good mechanical properties of the coatings or inks. This is owing to the PChem and HChem Polyols have OH (hydroxyl) functional
group on the side chain of polymer backbone through many monomer units. Usually, the MW designed in PChem and HChem
acrylic polyols is from low (3,000), medium (25,000) to high (400,000) that provides a benefit of formulator versatility.

These grades have various hydroxyl numbers and acid numbers which offer good adhesion, excellent weather resistance, recoating
property, good pigmentation, leveling property and high gloss retention. They also have good compatibility with resins and fast curing
speed.

Comparing to other major competitors who also offer acrylic polyols, our acrylic polyol resins are cover from 100% solid content to 50%
solid content which offer a much wider range of products for users to select. Particularly, the PChem solid acrylic polyols have
competitive advantages and benefits of:

Easy material handling

Flexibility: allows the formulator to select the solvent.
No hazardous issues of solvents for formulators to handle.
Better chemical resistance and hardness due to much less content of oligomers and residual monomers
Better film formation
High distinctness of image
