History

Polyurethane (PUR) products have been used as adhesives for many years. Their ease of application, durability, flexibility, and range of adhesion make them ideal adhesive products in a wide range of constructions.

The introduction of polyurethane reactive hot melts (PUR hot melts or reactive hot melts) has added a new dimension to polyurethane use. Now an instant bond is formed (by the loss of heat as with the use of conventional hot melt) which later crosslinks into a urethane material with better heat and water resistance than was previously possible.
