Reactive hot-melt (RHM or HMPUR) adhesives are solid prepolymers terminated in reactive groups (-NCO-) manufactured from mixtures of solid and liquid polyester/ether polyols with isocyanates, which are very low in free isocyanates.
Light-curing acrylate adhesives are helping an outdoor lighting manufacturer achieve permanent bonds and reliable sealing, even in challenging environments.
Whether it be rain, snow, sleet, or hail, outdoor lighting is fully exposed to the elements. Adhesives help outdoor lighting remain sustainable and well-functioning with permanent bonds and reliable sealing. In a residential neighborhood, seeing and being seen begins in the driveway.
