Adhesives and Sealants
Adhesive makers live between two constraints: open time long enough to apply the product, and final strength high enough to replace a mechanical fastener.
What Goes Wrong in This Industry
Common Pain Points
- Structural adhesives that cure too fast to apply over a large area
- Bond lines that become brittle and fail under impact or vibration
- Potting compounds that shrink or blush during cure
What We Supply Against Them
- Polyetheramine curing agents extend working time and add toughness without surface blushing
- Imidazole grades give heat triggered one component adhesives with high Tg after cure
- TDI and IPDI adducts supply the polyurethane structural adhesive and sealant side

Shipment
Sea, land or air routing coordinated through our Hong Kong entity. 20-30 days after the deposit is received.
Related Process Guides
A 2K polyurethane coating is a negotiation between pot life, dry speed, hardness and weathering. This is how we work through it with a formulator.
See The Process
Epoxy work is resin plus hardener plus cure schedule. Changing any one of the three changes the other two, so we specify them together.
See The Process
Cast elastomers, rollers and TPU all come down to three components: the isocyanate, the polyol soft segment and the chain extender.

Which products do you supply into adhesives and sealants?
The products listed on this page: Polyetheramine Curing Agent, Imidazole Type Epoxy Resin Curing Agents, TDI Trimer Polyisocyanate Curing Agents, IPDI Trimer Polyisocyanate Curing Agents, 1,4-Butanediol BDO Chain Extender. Each one carries its full grade table on its own page.
Can you match a grade we already use?
Send the datasheet or the key figures — NCO content, equivalent weight, viscosity, solids — and we will say which of our grades matches and which do not. We will also say when nothing matches.
What volumes do you supply?
All international orders carry a minimum order quantity. Standard packing formats in this range are 200 kg steel drums and 1,000 kg IBC, with bulk supply available on request for regular volumes.
How long does a first order take?
Samples about 7 days. Mass production 20-30 days after the deposit is received, once your final approval is given.
Do you provide technical support during qualification?
Yes. We give product selection advice and formulation support based on your application requirements, processing conditions and performance targets.
