The market demand for moisture-curing polyurethane adhesives is strong, with automotive glass assembly and wood processing being its main application scenarios.

Polyurethane adhesive refers to an adhesive containing a urethane group (-NHCOO-) or an isocyanate group (-NCO) in the molecular chain. It has good environmental protection, impact resistance, buffering and shock-absorbing properties, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. Performance, etc., it is widely used in bonding fields such as metal, plastic, ceramics, glass, leather, wood, etc. According to different curing methods, polyurethane adhesives can be divided into heat curing, room temperature curing, moisture curing, UV curing polyurethane adhesives, etc.

Moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive is one of the subcategories of polyurethane adhesives. It refers to polyurethane adhesives that are cured by the reaction of water vapor in the air or on the bonding surface. Moisture-curing polyurethane adhesives have all the advantages of polyurethane adhesives. The main special feature is that the curing method is moisture curing, which has the advantages of strong low-temperature resistance, high bonding strength, and irreversibility after curing.

According to different moisture curing mechanisms, moisture-curing polyurethane adhesives can be divided into silicone type and isocyanate type; according to different components, they can be divided into single-component and two-component moisture-curing polyurethane adhesives, etc. Among them, one-component moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive is one of the most widely used categories in the current polyurethane adhesive market.

As a type of environmentally friendly adhesive, moisture-curing polyurethane adhesives meet the requirements of the dual-carbon target that is being promoted in China. They are widely used in wood processing, shoe material processing, leather processing, metal bonding, electronic equipment assembly, and automotive glass assembly (windshields, rear windows). Scenes such as glass, triangular glass, etc.) play an important role. Among them, wood processing and automotive glass assembly are two major application scenarios for moisture-curing polyurethane adhesives. Currently, against the background of the rapid development of the domestic wood processing market and the steady increase in the scale of automobile production and sales, the demand for moisture-curing polyurethane adhesives continues to grow.

According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the cumulative revenue of domestic industrial enterprises above designated size in wood processing and related products will reach 1,016.10 billion yuan in 2022; according to data from the China Automobile Association, my country’s automobile production and sales in 2022 will complete 27.021 million vehicles and 26.864 million vehicles respectively, year-on-year Growth was 3.4% and 2.1%. As a result, the domestic moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive market size in 2022 will be approximately 5.86 billion yuan.

According to 《2023-2028 Moisture Curing Polyurethane Adhesive Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report》shows that China’s moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive manufacturers mainly include Shanghai Tianyang New Material Technology, Fujian Zhongke Huayu Technology Development, Weltong Technology Co., Ltd., Hubei Huitian New Material Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Tuanyuan Composite Materials, Anji Jushu New Material Technology, Chongqing Zhongke Litai Polymer Materials, etc. Among them, Tianyang New Materials is one of the leading companies in the domestic moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive industry. In 2022, the company’s moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive segment achieved a 50% sales growth.

Industry analysts said that moisture-curing polyurethane adhesive is a commonly used adhesive and has good environmental protection , strong flexibility, good low temperature resistance, high bonding strength, strong pollution resistance, good fatigue resistance and other advantages, it is widely used in wood processing and automotive glass assembly. Currently, driven by the rapid development of the downstream market, the domestic market demand for moisture-curing polyurethane adhesives has increased significantly, and the industry is showing a trend of rapid development.
