Bayer Products Support the Coatings, Adhesives and Specialties Industries

From aliphatic and aromatic polyisocyanates – in which Bayer is the leading global supplier – to polyether and polyester-based co-reactants, polyurethane dispersions, and powder coating resins, Bayer provides the polyurethane raw materials that major industries need to protect their products.

Bayer also is a leader in polyurethane coating and adhesive chemistry research and development, bringing new coating, adhesive and specialty chemistries to the market and improving on longstanding chemistries. For example, Bayer was a leader in the development of waterborne coating chemistry and the raw materials used to formulate waterborne coatings. And tough polyaspartic coating chemistry owes its success to Bayer R&D efforts.

Bayer MaterialScience, a global leader in high performance resins supports the ASC Training Academy, a platform geared towards continuing education for adhesive and sealant professionals across the supply chain.
