Polyurethane dispersions for waterborne adhesives

High-molecular-weight polyurethanes form the basis for the Dispercoll® U product range for aqueous dispersions.

Properties: The Dispercoll® U grades differ in their crystallizing rate, heat activating temperature and initial strength. The solids contents are between 40 and 50 percent. Adhesives based on Dispercoll® U can be optimized for the particular application through the formulation. The Dispercoll® U grades are based exclusively on aliphatic isocyanates, which are resistant to yellowing. This property makes these products suitable for bonding light-colored shoe materials.

Uses:

Dispercoll® U is useful wherever fairly high forces and stresses occur and therefore high initial strength is needed, and where resistance to grease and plasticizers, freedom from discoloration or a flexible bond is specified. A common application is the bonding of soles in the footwear industry.

Advantages:

  • Good compatibility to a number of other polymer dispersions
  • Outstanding adhesion to numerous synthetic materials (e.g. highly plasticized PVC)
  • Environmental friendliness
  • Resistance to moisture and water
  • Resistance to discoloration
