Abstract. In last several years the use of water instead of organic solvent in coating paints has increased considerably. It is the consequence of the increasingly severe demands for environmental protection as well as of the efficiency of aqueous coatings in the protection of materials by means of organic coatings. The main aspect in developing the aqueous two-component polyurethane (PU) systems is, first of all, finding methods for preventing unwanted secondary reactions with water and obtaining the best crosslinking.
In this paper, the polyol components, as well as the acrylic dispersions with different hydroxyl numbers for crosslinking process, were used.
As suitable hardeners, the aliphatic polyfunctional isocyanates based on hexamethylen diisocyanates with different content in the NCO-group were used. In this study, the complex of zirconium commercial known as K-KATŽXC-6212 or manganese (III) complex with mixed ligands based on the derivative of maleic acid was used as the catalyst. The coatings were characterized by measurements of hardness by König and gloss by Lange using catalysts with different selectivity. In this respect, the effect of different induction times after the mixing of the components on the hardness and gloss of the films has also been observed.
The obtained results show that the performances of the aqueous two- component polyurethane coatings depend on the polymer structure of the polyols and the polyisocyanates as well as on the selectivity of the used catalyst.
Key Words: Aqueous coatings, crosslinking, induction time, hardness according to König

ODREĐIVANJE NEKIH FIZIČKO-MEHANIČKIH KARAKTERISTIKA
U VODENIM DVOKOMPONENTNIM LAKOVIMA PRIMENOM NEKALAJNIH KATALIZATORA
Poslednjih godina upotreba vode umesto organskog rastvarača u premaznim sredstvima je znatno povećana. Ovo je posledica sve strožih zahteva za zaštitu životne sredine, kao i uspešnosti vodenih premaza u zaštiti materijala organskim prevlakama. Glavni aspekt u razvoju vodenih 2K-PU sistema je prvobitno naći metode za sprečavanje neželjene sekundane reakcije sa vodom i dobijanje najboljeg umrežavanja.
U ovom radu za umrežavanje od poliolnih komponenti korišćene su akrilne disperzije sa različitom vrednošću hidroksilnog broja. Kao umreživači koričćeni su vodoemulgujući poliizocijanati  na bazi heksametilen diizocijanata sa različitim sadržajem NCO-grupa. Od katalizatora koričćen je komercijalni katalizator  cirkonijuma (KATŽXC-6212) i  manganov kompleks sa mešovitim ligandima na bazi derivata maleinske kiseline. Premazi su okarakerisani merenjem tvrdoće po Königu i sjaja po Lange-u korišćenjem katalizatora različite selektivnosti. U tom smislu praćen je i uticaj različitog indukcionog vremena posle mešanja komponenti na tvrdoću i sjaj formiranih filmova.
Dobijeni rezultati pokazuju da performanse vodenih 2K-PUR premaza zavise od polimerne strukture poliola i poliizocijanata kao i od selektivnosti primenjenog katalizatora.
Ključne reči: Vodeni premazi, umrežavanje, indukciono vreme, tvrdoća po König-u.
