Polyurethane adhesives and sealants provide strong bonding and tight seals in a variety of applications. Polyurethane adhesives provide the advantage of a rapid development of "green strength," where the adhesive provides an initial bond before fully curing. This reduces the need for clamping and holding materials, thereby cutting costs and increasing manufacturing and construction flexibility. Since polyurethane chemistry is so versatile, custom adhesives and sealants displaying a wide variety of chemical and physical properties can be manufactured.

Polyurethane adhesives are used in the assembly of shoes, automotive interiors, windshield bonding and as textile laminates. Conveyor belts are usually closed using polyurethane adhesives, and polyurethane binders are mixed with wood chips or saw dust to form fiberboard. Polyurethane sealants are used in road repair, plumbing, construction and anywhere else a high-strength, water-resistant seal is needed.

Polyurethane sealants provide excellent stress recovery to retain shape after being bent or pulled, fast curing rates and even adherence to non-primed concrete. And unlike most other bonding agents, polyurethane adhesives and sealants can be painted to match the surrounding surfaces.
