Raw Materials for Heat-Activated, Contact, Reactive and Hot-Melt Adhesives and Specialties

Bayer MaterialScience's adhesive raw materials are used for the production of heat-activated adhesives and contact adhesives, which can be processed using one component (1K) or two component (2K) solventborne or waterborne chemistry. They can also be used for the production of reactive and hot-melt adhesives. Bayer adhesive raw materials are key building blocks for adhesives in a variety of markets: construction, transportation, packaging, furniture and footwear.
