Flexible foam is the largest application segment of the MDI, TDI & polyurethane market. APAC was the largest market for MDI, TDI & polyurethane in 2020, in terms of value. Factors such as compliance with energy regulation, environmental sustainability need, and versatility & unique properties will drive the MDI, TDI & polyurethane market.
Rigid Foams is projected to be fastest-growing application for MDI, TDI & Polyurethane market between 2021 and 2026
Rigid foams are low-to-high density foams with higher stiffness levels. These foams find uses across various applications but are primarily used as insulating foams and structural foams in the construction industry. They are used in simulated wood and RIM (Reaction Injection Molding) plastics. These are also used as insulating foams and structural foams. Rigid foams have one of the highest insulating R-values per inch ranging from R 5.5 to R 8 per inch and are strong, lightweight, low-density structures that are both dimensionally stable and moisture resistant with low vapor transmission.
