PU-based Reactive Hot Melt Adhesives Market Definition
PU-based reactive hot melt adhesives are highly viscous or solid prepolymers with a low melting point that cures to a thermosetting material. They mitigate several of the performance problems associated with conventional hot melt adhesives, which are usually solventless, making them better for the environment. PU-based reactive hot melt adhesives are widely utilized in cabinetry, furniture-making, construction, and product assembly industries.
Structure
The PU-based reactive hot melt adhesives market is segmented by type into high-temperature and low-temperature. By application, the market is segmented into packaging, automotive, furniture, textile, electronics, and others. The prominent players in the market include Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, H. B. Fuller Company, Bostik, 3M, The Jowat Group, Sika, Tex Year Industries, Taiwan PU Corporation, W. Adhesive, Cattie Adhesives, NANPAO, Tianyang, Zhejiang Jianyang High Polymer Material and Purking.
Additional Information
The PU-based reactive hot melt adhesives market is experiencing significant growth due to their environmental advantages and product benefits. These adhesives solidify when moisture in the air is present to form a firm bond that does not re-melt. They tolerate the widest temperature range, are easy to use, and are free of solvents and volatile organic compounds. However, a longer curing time compared to other types of adhesives restricts growth in the market. Technological and material advancements are leading to several product innovations, creating several opportunities in the industry.
