Market Overview

Polyurethane (PU) is a versatile polymer composed of organic units connected by urthane lyncage. With the help of catalysts, flying agents, or other additives, a polyol is a molecule with several hydroxyl groups, and an isocyanate undergoes a chemical process to make it. Instead of having a single material like many plastics, polyurethane is a family of polymers that can be made for a variety of physical characteristics, including flexible foam to rigid solids. Polyurethane is used extensively due to its durability and versatility. Depending on the formulation, they can be produced as elastomers, coatings, adhesives, sealants, flexible foams, and rigid foams. Flexible polyurethane foam, which provides comfort and durability, is an essential part of beds, furniture, and car seats. Due to their better insulating properties, rigid foam is often used for thermal insulation in refrigeration systems, equipment, and building construction. Because polyurethane depends on petrochemicals and it is difficult to recycle, its manufacture and disposal reduce environmental difficulties. To increase stability, however, current development is focused on energy-efficient production, chemical recycling, and bio-based raw materials.
