ETERNACOLL® polycarbonate diols (PCD) and ETERNATHANE® polycarbonate-based polyurethane prepolymers to produce extremely durable PU

The automotive industry is confronted with increasing complexity and pressure to innovate, with shorter technology cycles. Additionally, regulatory requirements are getting stricter and stricter in terms of safety and reliability. In this context, manufacturers and suppliers are to provide the most reliable products. And PU adhesives play an important part.
Polyurethane adhesives are broadly used in the automotive industry. So how can we make sure to provide the most durable Polyurethane Adhesives in harsh conditions?
UBE ETERNACOLL® Polycarbonate Diols significantly improve the performance of Polyurethane adhesives. Indeed, they bring improved durability, excellent adhesion in demanding conditions, and short curing time for long lasting and high performance PU adhesives.

Industrial assembly adhesives carry a lot of challenges. More efficient than traditional diols, Eternacoll® PCD leverage the benefits of Polyurethane adhesives and deliver excellent adhesives strength to metal & plastics substrates, as well as best-in-class durability thanks to enhanced resistance to high temperatures and hydrolysis.

UBE Eternacoll® is a large platform of polycarbonate polyols used in the formulation of polyurethane-based adhesives. These products offer customizable possibilities providing superior and long-term retention of designed performances, without modification of initial properties after being exposed in harsh environments.

Ideal for Sealants, UBE Eternacoll® Polycarbonate Diol enables to easily meet specifications and boost the resistance of Polyurethane to mechanical aggressions such as abrasion, leading to cracks. It also provides an outstanding durability thanks to the excellent retention of initial properties, even under extreme conditions.

Polyurethane adhesives are broadly used for attaching the upper to the shoe sole. But how can you make sure that your PU water-based adhesives achieve good bond strengths? And how can you improve your current solvent-based systems too? 

Eternacoll® Polycarbonate Diols significantly improve the performance of waterborne and solvent-based PU adhesives. They bring improved durability, excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates, and an increased resistance to hydrolysis for long lasting and high performance PU Footwear adhesives.
