Polyurethane, or PUR, is simply a

string of polymers that share

similar chemistry, typically linked

 together by urethane (carbamate,

an organic compound derived from

 carbamic acid).

 

Many industries now incorporate

hot melt technology into their

 processes. Everything from

footwear, to mattresses, to

automotive manufacturing has

pivoted to gluing with PUR hot

melt in order to maximize ease of

use and flexibility. It also takes

 advantage of temperature and

moisture tolerances, and reduce

labor time.

 

The following are key characteristics

 and benefits of using PUR hot melt

as your go-to adhesive:

 

• Creating a stronger and

longer lasting bond than

traditional hot melt.

 

• It is flexible and adapts to

different uses: it can be set

hard or remain rubbery.

 

• It tolerates the widest

temperature range and

therefore is just as effective

for indoor and outdoor

applications.

 

• It achieves a high-quality

bond with products that

typically are difficult to

bond, including nonporous

materials. It works with

materials that are different

from each other.
