Polyurethane adhesives and sealants open the door to new solutions for construction applications
Polyurethane-based adhesives and sealants contribute new solutions for assembly, joining and sealing in the construction industry. Polyurethane adhesives can be formulated to withstand high stresses, they are tough and at the same time they stay elastic, so they follow any "natural" movement of materials with a high coefficient of expansion without damaging the adhesive joint. In addition, they are suitable for a large range of substrates, like wood, concrete, plastic, metal and many more. Bayer MaterialScience offers a broad range of polyurethane raw materials for the formulation of adhesives and sealants, that are representing an alternative for traditional joining methods such as nailing, riveting or clamping.
The product range covers one- or two-component raw materials, solvent-based products and water-based dispersions, polyisocyanates, polyols, silane-terminated polyurethanes, raw materials for hotmelts and sealants, to just name a few.

Feature: Exterminating the problem of concrete bugholes
One of the galling glitches of hardened concrete structures is the “bughole,” a small hollow caused by a bubble of air trapped against the side of the support form as the concrete hardens, leaving a permanent void in the finished surface. Bayer MaterialScience has developed Desmoseal® S XP 2636 for the filling of bugholes in order to obtain a smooth concrete surface. This greatly facilitates the application of high-quality coatings... more
