APO RESEARCH · REPORT
Polyurethane
Polyurethanes are formed through reactions involving isocyanates and polyol components. Formulation and processing create different structures, including flexible or rigid foams, coatings, cast elastomers and thermoplastic polyurethane.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Polyurethane is a plastic material, which exists in various forms. It can be tailored to be either rigid or flexible, and is the material of choice for a broad range of end-user applications.
Component ratio, mixing and reaction conditions affect the delivered structure. A foam’s cellular geometry and a solid elastomer’s mechanical duty are different. Polyurethane is not one interchangeable finished material.
What turns activity into demand
Demand needs to be allocated by application and delivery stage. Foam volume, polymer mass and precursor sales describe different quantities. Separate precursors, formulated systems and converted products. Do not add upstream components and the finished reaction product as independent final demand.
The commercial boundary
Separate precursors, formulated systems and converted products. Do not add upstream components and the finished reaction product as independent final demand.
