Which term describes a cured polyurethane bead that has been freshly cut?

• A. Green Strength
• B. Impedance
• C. Fresh-cut PUR
• D. Gasket

Answer: (C)

Fresh-cut PUR is the term used to describe a cured polyurethane bead that has been freshly cut. This label captures two things at once: the bead material is polyurethane, and the surface you’re looking at was just trimmed, exposing a newly cut edge. In auto glass work, noting that the bead is fresh-cut helps guide finishing steps, since the cut surface can behave differently from the rest of the bead and may need quick cleaning or inspection as part of the seal process. The other terms don’t describe this specific situation: green strength refers to the early, not-yet-fully-cured strength of adhesive, impedance is an electrical property, and a gasket is a separate sealing component.
