Polyurethanes for solvent-free adhesives

Under the name Desmomelt®, Bayer markets a range of high-molecular-weight polyurethanes terminated with hydroxyl groups and specifically developed for the production of solvent-free hot-melt adhesives. In particular, Desmomelt® hydroxyl polyurethanes are polyaddition products of bifunctional polyesters and isocyanates.

Properties: Adhesives based on Desmomelt® have excellent adhesion to textile substrates and many industrially used materials, as well as very good resistance properties. The Desmomelt 530 and 540 grades are supplied in granule form, while Desmomelt VP KA 8702 and VP KA 8742 come in powder form.

Uses: Adhesives based on Desmomelt® 530 and 540 are used above all for the lamination of leather and fabric. Adhesives based on Desmomelt VP KA 8702 and VP 8742 are used for the bonding-in of shoe caps.

Advantages:

  • Very good adhesion
  • Good resistance
