What the AI looks for in Urethane Adhesives
- One-part vs two-part
- One-part moisture-cure urethane is slow in thick sections. Two-part cures through the full depth. Thick bonds of one-part urethane can stay uncured for days.
- Flexibility
- Use urethane where joints flex or the materials expand at different rates. Rigid epoxies crack in these joints.
- Permanence
- Choose permanent or removable grades deliberately. Permanent urethanes are very hard to remove later.
Brands that matter
- 3M: DP600 series urethanes and the 5200 sealant line.
- Sika: Sikaflex urethane adhesive-sealants.
- Lord: Industrial urethanes.
What to avoid
- Using a permanent urethane sealant on fittings that will need servicing
