U.S. market for polyurethane foam business opportunities

Polyurethane foam is divided into two kinds of soft and hard , with the changes in the market situation , the demand for foam is increasing. To the foam industry to bring a good opportunity.

In recent years , the growing foam packaging needs, according to the latest report Freedonia Group (Freedonia Group) published by the U.S. demand for foam will rise in the annual growth rate of 4.1% , to 2017 to 86 billion pounds, worth up to $ 24.7 billion .

Affected by the economic crisis in the United States ,2007- 2012 foam market has always been sluggish , future developments will gradually get rid of fall , healthy recovery. Freedonia analyst Bridget Mc Murtrie said: "We expect the construction industry will be strong growth in the foam insulation products provide a great opportunity ." To 2017 , will remain the main export packing plastic foam , the total demand of a / 3.Sellotape


Foam plastic products is an important category , variety, with a wide range of uses in industry, agriculture , construction and daily life. With the rapid development of the petrochemical and plastics industry , our PUR foam production increased rapidly, disabled freon blowing agent according to the Copenhagen international conference resolutions , China must accelerate the pace of alternatives to find as soon as possible to achieve full replacement . The same time to develop high flame resistance , low smoke PUR foam , strengthen the development and application of structural foam and high load carrying PUR foam , for the industry to provide strong support and protection in the new century.

Housing New Project to increase , rising consumer spending will contribute to foam in household products , such as bedding , furniture and appliances with . In the automotive market , and to increase safety with comfort requirements to enhance vehicle production will also promote the foam needs.Washi tape


Flexible polyurethane foam will still be the main product of this type of resin . To 2017 , demand for flexible polyurethane foam polyurethane foam super strong , because cushioning properties, bedding, carpet cushion with market demand for such products will grow rapidly.

At the same time , changing the recovery of the construction industry 's health and building codes ( building structure on energy requirements will be higher ) will also boost demand for rigid polyurethane foam . Rigid polyurethane foam can be used in the roof with wall insulation, insulated doors and windows sealed with a bubble shield . However, the polyurethane foam insulation materials will continue to fight competition from glass fiber with PS foam .

PS because of its excellent protection, thermal insulation , moisture resistance with low cost, total demand occupation foam 2 /5 to 2017 market share from the still larger. However , in respect of the whole field of packaging , the use of solid waste disposal issues raised will make a one-time foam foam product demand is limited, competition from paper materials can also cause some impact .Masking tape


Foam itself the nature and needs of the market , so that the foam industry has developed rapidly , but hidden behind the development can not be ignored . Foam after use can not properly handled, will cause trouble and environmental and social burden . Development of such harm than not a long way .

In the call for national environmental protection, energy conservation , foam if you want to develop long-term stability , and to avoid substitution by other products , they are bound to recover its use to solve the problem after degradation . For the masses to bring more convenience, more efficient energy consumption in the foam sector recovery will become the target .Wholesale masking tape
