IN-HOUSE DEVELOPMENT OF POLYURETHANE ADHESIVES
Polyurethane adhesives are known for their versatility, strong adhesion, elastic properties, and high process reliability. As ADHESIVE EXPERTS, GLUETEC develops its own PU formulations that combine technical performance, user-friendly application, and specific market requirements.
Our development process begins with the application: Which substrates are being bonded? What strength, viscosity, Shore hardness, pot life, or durability is required? These requirements give rise to customized polyurethane adhesives—tailored to industrial processes, craft applications, or highly specialized markets.
Successfully Launched PU Product Solutions
Many of GLUETEC’s innovations have emerged from specific customer and market needs.
These have led to the development of successful product solutions, including several proprietary formulations for which patent applications have been filed.
One example is WIKO® TIMBER FIX ECO 180—a patent-pending
two-component polyurethane wood adhesive for the fast and strong bonding of
woodwork.
With the WIKO® REPAIR UF series, GLUETEC offers user-friendly PU repair adhesives for professional applications. The variants WIKO®
REPAIR 30 UF, WIKO® REPAIR 90 UF, and WIKO® REPAIR 300 UF offer different processing times and are suitable for reliable repair processes in industry, trade, and workshops.
Polyurethane Adhesives for Specialty Markets
GLUETEC’s strength also lies in the development of adhesive solutions for niche applications and highly specialized markets. BLOCK BOND® is based on a patent-pending technology for fast-curing, polyurea-based structural adhesives and was developed specifically for professional hoof care in cattle—to reliably bond wooden, rubber, or plastic blocks to the hoof.
HOOF FIX is a two-component polyurethane adhesive for use on horse hooves—particularly for horseshoes, hoof boots, hoof repairs, and corrections.
These examples demonstrate that GLUETEC not only develops standard products but also applies its industrial adhesive expertise in a targeted manner to specialized applications with concrete practical benefits.
Polyurea—from polyurethane to the next generation of adhesives
Polyurethane is a central component of our development expertise. At the same time, GLUETEC thinks beyond traditional PU systems. With PURYX®, we have developed a patent-pending polyurea technology that combines structural performance with high user-friendliness.
PURYX® thus embodies GLUETEC’s commitment to innovation: developing new generations of adhesives when existing systems reach their technical, regulatory, or process-related limits.
