Polyurethane refers to a form of plastic polymer material that is used to produce modern, versatile, and safe consumer and industrial products that are environmentally friendly. Polyurethane is formed by reacting a polyol (an alcohol with more than two reactive hydroxyl groups per molecule) with a diisocyanate or a polymeric isocyanate in the presence of suitable catalysts and additives. They are also widely used in medical devices such as pacemakers, artificial hearts, and other blood-contacting applications. The main product types of polyurethane are coatings, adhesives and sealants, flexible and rigid foams, elastomers, and other product types. An adhesive is a substance that is capable of holding materials together in a functional manner by a surface attachment that resists separation. The raw materials are MDI, TDI, and polyols. The end-use industries are furniture, construction, electronics and appliances, automotive, footwear, and other end-use industries.

Furniture manufacturing companies are enhancing comfort, durability, health, and safety by using flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) as a cushioning material for upholstered furniture, bedding, and carpet underlay. Furthermore, with the introduction of an advanced manufacturing process, polyurethane foam provides more uniform, predictable, and durable end products. For instance, according to the American Chemistry Council, it is proven that FPF, when compressed by 90% for 22 hours, can recover more than 90% of its original height, which is more durable than any other form of furniture material. Moreover, completely cured polyurethane products are considered to be inert and safe and have been concurred with by the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). The durability, comfort, and safety provided by polyurethane will continue to be the major reasons for its use in the furniture industry, thereby driving the demand for the polyurethane industry going forward. Polyurethane providers globally faced uncertain environmental regulations in the historic period. These regulations are to reduce the emission of toxic air pollutants from the flexible polyurethane foam industry and mandate the installation of add-on control equipment at manufacturers’ sites. For instance, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a regulation to reduce the emission of the toxic air pollutant methylene chloride from the flexible polyurethane foam market. All the polyurethane manufacturers have to comply with this regulation and eliminate the use of methylene chloride for the production of molded foam and rebond foam. Therefore, uncertain government regulations towards environmental protection restrain the growth of the polyurethane market. Demand for sustainable products from the construction, automotive, and footwear industries is witnessing a rising demand for the manufacturing of bio-based polyurethane (PU) with a rising awareness of environmental concerns worldwide. Bio-based polyurethanes (PU) are derived from biodegradable materials, constituting a rich source of precursors for the synthesis of polyols and isocyanates. These chemicals are readily available at a lower cost with less environmental impact and are highly biodegradable. In addition, with increasing commercialization and growing demand for flexible foam for car seats and headrests from major automotive OEMs, polyurethane manufacturers have shifted focus towards developing sustainable and environmentally friendly products of renewable materials. This will drive the use of bio-based polyurethane products in various industries, including construction, automotive, coating, and footwear.
