Moisture Curing Adhesives for Long-Lasting Rust Protection

Moisture curing adhesives hold coating abilities and are extensively used for protecting various products from moisture. These adhesives can be utilized in numerous end use industries like textile, automotive, construction, wood working, and others. The compounds such as polyurethane, silicone, cyanoacrylate, and polyolefin are broadly used as adhesives. 


Adhesives with High Strength and High-Water Resistance Capability

In 2016, polyurethane appeared as the largest chemistry segment and is expected to continue gaining high market revenue during the forecast period. Polyurethane adhesives comprise high strength and water-resistance capabilities. It can be widely useful in interior as well as exterior construction to achieve durability. Polyurethane load bearing glulam technology is widely accepted in construction sector. Polyurethane holds a high load capacity in terms of tension and compression. It changes shape under heavy load and returns to normal shape as the load decreases.

However, cyanoacrylate is expected to be the largest growing segment in the years to come. cyanoacrylate responds rapidly at room temperature when it encounters with humidity. They can be utilized in various applications including woodworking, household, industrial, and medical uses.

Low Temperature Adhesive

A modern adhesive should have a long shelf life and less curing time, greater durability, and easy installation. DuPont has recently developed a Tyvek Fluid Applied Weather Barrier + System and fluid applied air barrier protection. This product can be utilized in heavy construction projects. Silyl-terminated polyether polymer technology (STPE) is used to develop this product, which is one of the advanced polymer technologies in weather barrier. The product can be used in low temperature up to 25F ambient.

Market Overview

According to Grand View Research, Inc.; the worldwide moisture curing adhesives market is expected to reach USD 7.2 billion by 2025. Rising demand for moisture-curing coating in construction and automotive is predicted to propel the market.

North America represents one of the largest market segments in terms of total share and is estimated to exhibit steady rise during the forecast period (2014 to 2025). Growing construction and wood coating sectors are anticipated to propel the regional growth. However, Asia Pacific is predicted to be the fastest growing market over the forecast period owing to impressive developpment of construction and automotive industries.

Some of the leading companies operating in the market include 3M Company, Royal Adhesives & Sealants, Dymax Corporation, Tosoh Corporation, and Sika AG.
