The New Generationof PUR Adhesives

The success story of 1-component PUR adhesives

Same fifteen years ago, LOCTITE introduced the first DINstandards-compliant 1 C PUR adhesives to the market forload-bearing engineered wood applications. Today, they areused in nearly all countries araund the globe. A number ofpioneering companies quickly recognized the advantagesof the new technology versus conventional adhesives: theybecame ever clearer as innovative bonded wood componentswere deployed in more and more sophisticated applications.

Now, a new generation of LOCTITE adhesives is making itsdebut in the marketplace. lt is the result of close collaborationbetween Bayer MateriaiScience in Germany and LOCTITE inSwitzerland. The HB S line is poised to further inspire the industrial use of adhesives in the domain of engineered wood.

HB S adhesives by LOCTITE

Open time range between 4 minutes (fast end) and 70 minutes (slow end).

Between the two ends, a product can be selected with anindividually specified, infinitely variable open time.

Flber-free.

Favorable press time to open time ratio.

Certified across the entire application bandwidth.

Patented.

The new chemistry allows the applied volume to be reducedby 20% to 30% in comparison with the previous generationof PUR adhesives.

Enables a new application technology that is precise,maintenance-free, and non-clogging.

Efficient and reliable application with newly developedRobatech equipment.

Product switchovers on existing appllcation systems suchas Oest or others must first be carefully analyzed in cooperationwith a LOCTITE specialist

The new adhesives are solvent- and formaldehyde-free andfulfill strict requirements with respect to indoor air quality.

The HB S line is the first 1 C PUR adhesives famlly explicitlydeveloped and certified for the engineered wood industry.

By the highly respected adhesives specialist for the reliableproduction of bonded wood elements.
