Challenges In Polyurethane Development Opportunities

China's polyurethane industry is at a peak stage of development. Compared with the mature markets such as Europe, America and Japan, although China's polyurethane industry is experiencing development opportunities, it still needs to be fully prepared to meet challenges.

In addition to achieving a certain amount of capacity in a mature polyurethane market, it is more important to improve in technology, produce products with high added value, and pay attention to environmental protection and become the current indicators for developing the industry in Europe, America and Japan.

Compared with these standards, China is still in the period of capacity expansion, productivity has become the focus of attention of the current enterprises, and less attention has been paid to technological pformation and environmental pformation.

Reporters learned from the China Polyurethane Industry Association that at present, besides the Yantai Wanhua independent MDI production technology has been mature and capable of mass production, Gansu's TDI independent technology can only be produced on a small scale. In addition, other production can only adopt foreign technology. According to the Secretary General of Industry Association, although production technology does not become an obstacle to the development of China's polyurethane at present, many enterprises are also carrying out the digestion and import device to enhance the competitiveness of the national industry.

For today's hot market waterborne polyurethane, Weng secretary general said that at present, China is still in the research and development stage, and the technology is unstable. Most of the enterprises use the imported raw materials to make their own production. However, in the water-based polyurethane industry, the domestic production capacity has completely met the market demand, and large-scale production has been achieved.

The development and innovation of autonomous technology, the research and development of environmental protection materials and so on will all become challenges for the development of polyurethane industry in the coming years.
