The scientific and industrial history of polyurethane wire enamels during the previous six decades is reviewed. Their main use is as coatings for wires in miniature electrical devices and in electronics, where fast solderability at low temperatures is crucial. Market trends for polyurethane enamels are discussed, and an outlook is provided as to how future developments might influence the industrial use of polyurethane wire enamels.
