Solvent-based Polyurethanes

Polyurethane adhesives are produced in many grades such as one-component, two-component, dispersion and solvent-based, for use in different application areas. Solvent-based polyurethane adhesives are suitable for a number of different industrial and construction applications, having good adhesion to rubber, leather, textiles, metal, paper, wood, and plastics. In addition, solvent-based polyurethane adhesives are used for a wide variety of laminating applications.

As with other adhesives, stabilizers should be added in the formulation to protect the adhesive from degradation during both processing and service life. Some antioxidants are effective for solvent-based polyurethanes.
