Polyurethane Adhesive Testing

Polyurethane adhesive is a thermoplastic glue which is extremely strong and resistant most forms of degradation. Polyurethane adhesives exist as single and multicomponent systems which can be elastic or rigid depending on the formulation. Polyurethane adhesives have a very wide variety of applications due to their unique advantages including tough bonds, high peel strength, excellent versatility, easy application, wide operating temperature range and high resistance to water and chemicals. These applications include construction, furniture, laminating, pharmaceutical, aerospace, footwear, flooring and roofing, rail, cladding, caravans, truck panels and cold stores.

STEMart provides a wide range of polyurethane adhesive testing to ensure that it is suitable for its intended use.
