A case study on the thermal degradation of an acrylate-type polyurethane wood coating using thermogravimetry coupled with evolved gas analysis

•Thermal degradation of an acrylate-type PU wood coating (PUA) and a flame-retardant variant (PUA-FR).•Determination of multistage thermal degradation processes of PUA and PUA-FR by TGA and DTG.•Identification of main volatile decomposition products by gas phase FTIR.•Conclusions on decomposition me...
