Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of adhesives, and particularly to a polyurethane adhesive and its preparation method. Background Art
[0002] At present, polyurethane adhesives are widely used in many industries due to their good bonding strength, flexibility and weather resistance. However, in the preparation process of traditional polyurethane adhesives, the activation temperature is high and the crystallization speed is fast, which not only consumes more energy, but also makes the controllability of the production process poor, affecting the product quality and stability. The high activation temperature and rapid crystallization reduce the flexibility and energy consumption efficiency of polyurethane adhesive production, and also limit its application on some sensitive materials, because too high processing temperature may damage the structure of the bonded materials. Although there are studies on reducing the activation temperature by adding specific additives, it often leads to a decrease in the performance of the adhesive or other adverse consequences, such as increased cost or weakened environmental protection. In addition, attempts to extend the crystallization time usually sacrifice the production rate, which is not conducive to large-scale industrial production. Summary of the Invention
