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

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

Answer: (A)

The concept here is a post-cut surface description of the polyurethane bead. Fresh-cut PUR is the term used to describe a bead that has been cured and then freshly cut or trimmed, creating a newly exposed surface. This designation matters because a freshly cut bead behaves differently than one that hasn’t been trimmed yet, and it’s a specific status you’d refer to in discussing the bead after cutting.

Green strength refers to the initial strength of adhesive before full cure, which is about the cure process rather than the surface condition after cutting. Impedance is an electrical property, not related to the bead’s post-cut status. A gasket is a sealing component, not the description of a post-cut PUR bead.
