Polyurethane Market

Polyurethane Market is accounted for USD 56,450 million in 2020, growing at a robust CAGR of 5.1% during forecast period

Polyurethane Market Overview

Polyurethane can be defined as a polymer formed by reacting a polyol resin with a polymeric isocyanate in the presence of suitable catalysts and additives. The chemical structure of polyurethane is highly cross-linked and has a very large molecular weight. Polyurethanes can be found in a wide range of products that include mattresses, couches, liquid coatings and paints, elastomers, adhesives, sealants, medical devices, footwear, and other products.
