Henrik,

I've tried to find one in Europe but couldn't so far.
The problem is that there are no precise descriptions of the
available urethanes.
Simple water based isn't enough. It has to be aliphatic and then
the there are other specs to compare like molec.weight.
Most manufacturers use alkyds or acryls as the other component or
it is a two component aliphatic system or an aromatic solvent is
used and so they all are not what Hydrocote is.

There's a product poly-f that is used as a anti-graffity coating
etc.

In Dutch I have to say.

That seems to be similar but no specs and a company that uses it
not the manufacturer itself.
