Polyurethane Adhesives Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2016 – 2026

Polyurethane is a polymer composed of units of organic chains, formed by the reaction of isocyanate and a polyol. Polyurethane is sticky in nature and used as an adhesive due to its property of sealant and high -quality bedding materials. The polyurethane adhesive is considered as strongest adhesive and sealant due to its moisture curing and multiple component system with different elongation under loads and thermal coefficient of expansion. The polyurethane adhesives can be customized as per the requirement of the industry. The increasing demand of the polyurethane adhesive for market specific applications such as sealing, roofing, tiling, aerospace laminating, flexible packaging and automotive production lead to the significant growth of the global polyurethane adhesive market over the forecast period.
