Polyurethane products mainly include the following kinds: foam plastics, elastomers, fiber plastics, fibers, leather shoe resins, coatings, adhesives and sealants, among which foam plastics account for the largest proportion.

polyurethane foaming plastic

Polyurethane foam is divided into hard foam and soft foam 2 kinds, has excellent elasticity, elongation, compressive strength and softness, and good chemical stability. In addition, polyurethane foam also has excellent workability, adhesion, insulation and other properties, belongs to the excellent performance of the buffer material.

The production of polyurethane materials has spread throughout North America. It is reported that the average annual growth rate of the North American polyurethane foam market is expected to reach about 6%. Growth is expected to focus on residential and industrial applications of sprayed polyurethane foam, as well as military applications through 2020. In addition, polyurethane will also be used in the medical industry for timely and effective treatment of wounds.

polyurethane elastomer

Due to its structure with soft and hard two chain segments, polyurethane elastomers can be endowed with high strength, good toughness, wear resistance, oil resistance and other excellent properties through the design of molecular chains. Polyurethane, known as “wear-resistant rubber”, has the high elasticity of rubber and the rigidity of plastic.

In the past year, due to the large decline in the price of crude oil, in the context of the global economic depression, the growth of polyurethane elastomer market in our country compared to the previous years, the development of slow, the imbalance of supply and demand ratio seriously caused the price of polyurethane elastomer all the way down. However, this phenomenon only appears in traditional polyurethane products. Technology content and high degree of innovation of elastomer products such as nano polyurethane elastomer materials market prospects, or very considerable.
