Polyurethane Foam vs Polyurethane Glue | JCT Machinery

October 15, 2025

Although polyurethane foam and polyurethane glue are both polyurethane products, they have obvious differences in production line configuration, reaction control, equipment requirements, etc.


Product Differences


Polyurethane Foam
Polyurethane Glue
Main ApplicationUsed in upholstered furniture, sound insulation, automotive interiors and packagingUsed for bonding wood, shoe soles, construction, automotive assembly, etc.
Product FormFoam (cures after foaming)
Viscous liquid or semi-solid
Reaction CharacteristicsHighly exothermix, volume expansionLow exotherm, no significant expansion
Core FormulaPolyether polyol + isocyanate + blowing agent + catalyst + surfactantPolyether polyol + isocyanate + tackifying resin + filler + diluent



Production Line Equipment Differences

Comparison ItemPolyurethane Foam Production LinePolyurethane Glue Production Line
Main EquipmentStorage tank, metering mixer, foaming machine, mold conveyorDouble planetary mixer, vacuum degassing device, cooling system, filling machine
Key ProcessesControl foaming ratio, temperature, pressure and flow rateControl reaction temperature and viscosity, ensure thorough dispersion and mixing
Heating MethodReaction is generally performed at room temperature or with light heatingElectric heating/thermal oil heating
Degree of AutomationHigh, often continuous production (such as spray foam or mold injection)Mostly batch or semi-continuous production
Equipment MaterialsStainless steel or carbon steel with anti-stick coatingStainless steel (polished interior, anti-crystallization)

Differences in Production Control
Polyurethane foam focuses on controlling foam density and cell structure, requiring equipment with highly precise proportional metering and mixing nozzles.

Polyurethane glue focus on controlling viscosity, open time, and curing properties, reuqiring a well-controlled mixing and temperature control system.
