PURlijm

PURlijm is a type of polyurethane adhesive known for its strong bonding capabilities and versatility. It is a moisture-curing adhesive, meaning it reacts with water in the air or on the surfaces being bonded to initiate its hardening process. This characteristic allows PURlijm to form a durable and rigid bond that is resistant to water, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations.

The adhesive is typically applied as a liquid or paste and, upon curing, becomes a solid, often with a slightly flexible quality depending on the specific formulation. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including woodworking, construction, automotive repair, and DIY projects. PURlijm can bond various materials such as wood, metal, plastics, concrete, and ceramics.

One of the key advantages of PURlijm is its excellent gap-filling properties, allowing it to effectively bond uneven or irregular surfaces. It also offers a relatively fast setting time, although the full strength of the bond may take several hours to develop. When cured, it can often be sanded, painted, or machined, further enhancing its utility. Safety precautions, such as adequate ventilation and the use of gloves, are generally recommended when working with PURlijm due to the uncured adhesive's potential for skin irritation.
