GLOBAL AUTOMOTIVE POLYURETHANE DISPERSION MARKET 

INTRODUCTION

 Polyurethane dispersions (PUD's) are usually high-performance adhesives based on crystalline, hydrophobic polyester polyols, such as hexamethylene adipate, and aliphatic diisocyanates, such as methylene bis(cyclohexyl isocyanate) (H12MDI) or isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI).

Aqueous dispersions of polyurethane composition particles are made by forming a blend of the polyurethane prepolymer and then dispersion this blend in aqueous medium. Typically, polymerization will be done by bulk or solution polymerizing the ingredients of the prepolymer.

The techniques and manufacturing processes have changed over the years from those described in the first papers, journal articles and patents that were published. There are a number of techniques available depending on what type of species is required. An ion may be formed which can be an anion thus forming an anionic PUD or a cation may be formed forming a cationic PUD. 

Also, it is possible to synthesize a non-ionic PUD. This involves using materials that will produce an ethylene oxide backbone, or similar, or a water-soluble chain pendant from the main polymer backbone.

Anionic PUDs are by far the most common available commercially. To produce these, initially a polyurethane prepolymer is manufactured in the usual way but instead of just using isocyanate and polyol, a modifier is included in the polymer backbone chain or pendant from the main backbone.
