Two-component polyurethane binder stoichiometry: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent bonding in metal pipe assembly leads to structural failure and leakage. Precise control of the polyol-isocyanate reaction kinetics ensures rapid curing and high-strength adhesion in industrial environments.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Two-component polyurethane binder stoichiometry?

Interfacial adhesion failure

(11)evidences

Weak bonding between dissimilar material layers leads to structural failure. Improving adhesion prevents mechanical separation and environmental degradation in automotive components.

Inconsistent adhesive curing stoichiometry

(9)evidences

Conventional two-component polyurethane binders rely on isocyanates which react prematurely with environmental moisture, causing bubbling and bond failure. Utilizing cyclothiocarbonate and carbodiimide chemistries eliminates this specific degradation pathway and improves storage stability.

Insufficient green strength

(3)evidences

Slow structural development during the transition from melt to cured state causes bond failure under immediate load. Rapid initial cohesion prevents substrate shifting and increases manufacturing throughput.
