3 Reasons To Use Single Side Adhesives-
PUR in footwear manufacturing industry

Introduced in the 1990s in footwear industry, Polyurethane Reactive Hotmelt Adhesive, so called PUR or PURHM, to react with moisture in the air and creates strong crosslinks, which enable them to deliver excellent bonding characteristics and durability. In adhesive technologies, PUR hotmelt is the popular solution for bonding applications relating to packaging and woodworking.

In Henkel, adhesive experts has marked a very smart move in footwear manufacturing industry by an innovative solution named single-side adhesive with PUR, which has been driven by multi factors of sustainability, consumerism, automation or resource scarcity.
