Polyurethane PU is made by mixing a Polyol with a different diisocyanate, e.g Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) or Methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI ) with other chemical and additives to produce materials that can be used in furniture/bedding, construction, insulation, automotive and CASE (coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers).

Because polyurethanes are so versatile and known to be excellent insulators, they offer many solutions to the challenges of energy conservation and eco-design. The polyurethanes industry is always seeking to reduce its impact on the environment and is currently exploring ways of increasing the energy efficiency of manufacturing processes and creating end products that can be used to save energy, such as building insulation. These products help families and businesses reduce their energy bills, while at the same time helping to protect the environment. The future is likely to bring further improvements in production processes, resulting in less expensive and even more environmentally friendly polyurethanes.
