Out of the many amazing properties of waterborne polyurethanes, their flexibility and high cohesive strength make them a perfect adhesive for a wide range of materials. Polyurethane glue forms a strong bond even before it dries and seals completely, so you won’t need clamps and securing instruments to hold the things together. This makes the process quite inexpensive and simple, which is why most manufacturers and homeowners use this glue.

Where is PUD Adhesive Used

Waterborne polyurethane adhesives come in many forms and are widely used in various industries, from construction to synthetic leather manufacturing. It can easily bond with porous and non-porous materials such as concrete, metal, glass, and wood, offering it an advantage over other adhesives. The two-part polyurethane adhesive can bond ceiling drywall to roof rafters. The first stage helps avoid caving-in effect on the vertical surface and the second stage forms a strong seal.

Their moisture curable variants are used to bond subflooring and carpentry on staircases, cabinets, or floors. Since the wood tends to expand and contract with the changing season, the elasticity of polyurethane prevents separation cracks and keeps it in good condition.

The automotive industry uses it to bond windscreens and other components in a vehicle. This glue’s heat and water resistance keep the components intact for a long time. When mixed with sawdust or wood chips, it can make fiberboard. Similarly, many other industries use it as a sealant and adhesive because it can bond with many materials and offer chemical, impact and heat resistance. For example, PUD glue can seal fuel tanks and won’t crack by prolonger exposure to high heat, making it flame-resistant.

Advantages of Using Water-based Polyurethane Adhesives

· Strong Bonding

One of the major advantages of using polyurethane glue is its ability to form a bond so strong that you won’t need clamps and fixings. This helps you continue your work without waiting for the adhesive to dry.

· Longer Lifespan

Waterborne polyurethanes are known for their high durability and flexibility, making them last longer. When you apply polyurethane glue to a product, it will be more resistant to general wear and tear and highly unlikely to crack. It offers a more long-lasting bond than other adhesives.

· Waterproof

You know it will be a good adhesive if it doesn’t lose its bond when it comes in contact with water.

Waterborne polyurethanes are waterproof, making them an excellent adhesive for things exposed to the environment and weather. Some of its variants are more water-resistant than others, so you can get glue that suits your requirements.

· Setting and curing

Most adhesives don’t set in damp or humid conditions, but that’s not the case with waterborne polyurethane. It can set and cure quicker in the presence of moisture.

· Eco-Friendliness

Water-based polyurethanes are eco-friendly and don’t contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, which gives them an advantage over other polyurethanes.

· Convenience

This glue doesn’t need mixing or measuring, and you can use it straight from the container or dispensers.
