Today, because of high level of activity in the global construction industry, there are tremendous needs for high performance and differentiated Sandwich Panels
Because of the wide range of extremely diversified applications; such as cold food storage, sound insulation, or fire resistance, materials used in structural panels have to fulfill expectations and needs, and an integral part of creating a high-performance panel are polyurethane adhesives used to bond inner core foams to outer skin(s) forming composite panels.
Both Sandwich panel manufacturers and end-users will benefit from Dow's innovation and industry focus
Dedicated research and development in the PU adhesive field has been conducted to address the needs of sandwich panel manufacturers, allowing them to extend and improve their product offering with high performance PU adhesives.
As an example of Dow Team´s innovation, here are two technologies which were developed to address sustainability issues regarding renewability and VOC concerns from amine catalysts:
Highly hydrophobic system including renewable material
System with innovative reactive profile allowing for faster cure time and higher green strength development
