Adhesive + panel · Made in the USA

PUR Laminating Adhesives

Doors, wrap, floors, textiles, spines. Same glue that laminates the panel, sold as adhesive when you run the line — catalog grade, custom, or toll.

Moisture-cure reactive hot melt for the jobs that fail EVA — and liquid PU, PUD, and 2K where the line needs them. We specify and sell. The sandwich panels next door are hot-melt PUR only — no liquid in the laminate.

Family A · hot-melt PUR

Hot Melt Polyurethane (HMPUR)

Moisture-cure reactive hot melt. Applied molten, then cross-links with moisture into a thermoset. Typical uses:

  • Bookbinding
  • RV panel lamination
  • Woodworking and hand assembly
  • Textile lamination
  • Engineered wood flooring
  • Profile wrapping of windows and decorative moldings
  • Steel and architectural entry doors and garage doors
  • Custom specialty

Family B · not used in PurComposite panels

Liquid polyurethane adhesives

Sold as adhesive. The laminator does not put liquid PUR in sandwich panels — hot-melt composites only.

  • Contractor DIY
  • Sponge lamination
  • Freezer panel lamination
  • Architectural panel lamination
  • Steel and fiberglass door lamination
  • Engineered wood flooring lamination
  • Transportation panel lamination

Liquid moisture-cure PUR

Sold as adhesive. Not used in PurComposite sandwich panels — the plant constraint is hot-melt PUR only, no resin or liquid in the laminate.

8730

1K cold liquid moisture-cure · 7,000 cps @ 74°F · apply 74°F

General-purpose liquid PUR. Carpet, wood, foam, metal, most plastics. Permanent rigid bond. Not for vinyl (PVC), PP, PE, or polyolefins. Not tacky when first applied — clamp during initial cure. Family copy: assembly time 20–30 minutes; apply above 50°F.

8932

Liquid moisture cure (LMC) · 10 min open · viscosity on request

Lamination of panel products. EPS foam, honeycomb, steel, wood, laminate. Roller applicator. Year-round processing is possible. Still a liquid — not the chemistry in the sandwich stack.

PUD — membrane / 3D doors

Water-borne polyurethane dispersions for vacuum-forming vinyl and PVC foils to particle board (kitchen doors, furniture, 3D laminating). Not used in PurComposite sandwich panels.

7-859

2-part water-borne PUD · with hardener 7-560

Workhorse membrane-press grade. Vinyl/PVC foils to particle board. Wide operating window. Increased bond, heat, and water resistance with the isocyanate hardener.

7-866

2-part water-borne PU · with hardener 7-560

Same process, specified for high-gloss vinyl/PVC foils. Heat and water resistance.

7-883WH

1-part water-borne PU

Membrane pressing / vacuum forming vinyl/PVC foils to particle board. Doors, cabinets, 3D. No hardener required.

Hardeners 7-560 · 7-1001

Crosslinkers for 7-859 / 7-866

7-560 — isocyanate crosslinker; water, heat, bond. 7-1001 — aliphatic PU crosslinker at 5% mix; hard-to-bond PS foam, cedar, plastics; pot life > 8 hr; non-yellowing.

2K liquid PU — floor and wall install

Not a panel-laminating adhesive. 2K grades for floor and wall install, sold through PurComposite.

7-3029

Two-component polyurethane for floor-covering materials on smooth, solid surfaces. Mix A+B; cures to a tough, flexible film.

7-3040

Two-part, solvent-free polyurethane for installing wall panels on clean, dry, sound walls. Non-absorbent surfaces, and absorbent surfaces in severe-use / wet / temperature-swing areas.

Purge

PUR-Purge-1000

Not an adhesive. Cleaning compound to purge moisture-cure PUR from hot-melt applicators so cured melt does not clog machines and tips. Apply 250–350°F. 7,000 cps at 350°F.

Custom formulate and toll

Match by TDS, SDS, or the grade you already run. Pigmented reactive hot melts and prepolymer options. Toll batches 10 lb to 10,000 lb. PurComposite sells it. Use the quote form — choose PUR adhesive (HMPUR), liquid PU, or toll batch.

Toll blending and coating

PurComposite runs polyurethane adhesive as toll batches, from 10 pounds to 10,000 pounds, in hot melt PUR or liquid PU. We can blend to your formula or to a grade you already run. We can also coat or laminate your substrate with that adhesive on our line. Send the grade you run now or the spec you need to hit, and we'll quote the batch. Use the quote form and choose toll batch, or call 800-249-0337.

Named HMPUR grades are in the table above. Full SDS/TDS on request — quote form or 800-249-0337.

FAQ

What is PUR hot melt?

A 100% solids, moisture-curing polyurethane. You apply it hot. It sets like a hot melt, then cross-links with ambient moisture into a thermoset. That cross-link is the heat, cold, and moisture resistance. Liquid PU is the room-temperature cousin: not tacky when first applied, so parts need clamp or press during initial cure.

Which grades do you actually name?

HMPUR: 8600, 8463, 8493, 8927, 8940/8940M, 8937. Liquid: 8730, 8932. PUD: 7-859, 7-866, 7-883WH plus hardeners 7-560 and 7-1001. 2K: 7-3029, 7-3040. Purge: PUR-Purge-1000.

Is there a minimum on panels?

No MOQ on panels. Adhesive toll starts at 10 lb. The panel plant uses hot-melt PUR only — no liquid in the laminate. Ask for adhesive, panel, or both on one quote.

Are the adhesives and panels made in the USA?

Yes. We specify and sell. Adhesive is reacted and panels are laminated in the USA. Custom formulate when the catalog grade is wrong.

Will it bond untreated PE or PP?

Generally no, unless corona-treated. We qualify the bond on your substrates.
