Resulting Properties
The formulation above is for a general purpose two component polyurethane adhesive. The pot life for this system is about 2 hours at room temperature. Often additives are not required to provide flexibility or toughness as in the case of epoxy formulations. Polyurethanes have the capability of providing these properties through manipulation of the resulting molecule by proper choice of isocyanate and polyol. However, additives are used mainly to stabilize the adhesive relative to moisture, oxidation, UV, etc.
