Despite some new developments in the past, polyurethane adhesives are still playing a niche role in contact bonding applications.
However, new market requirements, such as compatibility with future recycling processes, lower VOC and specific requirements driven by Ecolabels are constantly developing, creating a need for alternatives to the currently used technologies.
Hence, during this talk we will benchmark the performance of new waterborne polyurethane based adhesives against a standard rubber-based contact adhesive formulation.
