Adhesives
Polyurethane adhesives
Polyurethane adhesives trade stiffness for flexibility, impact absorption and tolerance of differential movement.
In simple terms
Polyurethane adhesives trade stiffness for flexibility, impact absorption and tolerance of differential movement.
Best for
Flexible substrates, vibration, large panels, transport interiors and joints exposed to movement.
Watch out for
Moisture-sensitive cure, isocyanate controls, creep, UV protection and generally lower service temperature.
Typical applications
Sandwich panels, automotive trim, floor and panel bonding, elastomeric composite joints.
