Polyurethane World

There is no doubt that polymers and specially “polyurethane” have become at present, a very important component in many industries, not only that, but they have become actively present in our daily life. So we find polyurethane introduced in chemical industries such as paints, inks and adhesives, automotive fittings industries. furniture and sponges industry, as well as plastics with its various uses, and polyurethane is also used in medical equipment and materials, as well as in Contracting work .
Currently global consumption of polyurethane raw materials has swallowed more than 30 million tons, and the average annual growth rate is around 5%. It is expected that the revenues generated from polyurethane in the global market will rise to more than 80 billion dollars, so do not be surprised, dear reader, if you find that polyurethane is present in your home, in your car, and in everything around you.

Polyurethane in the furniture industry:
At the present time, major furniture manufacturing companies use many polyurethane materials as fillers or cushioning materials, as many stages that were manually done in the furniture industry, such as forming and ornaments, have been replaced by new means based on casting flexible polyurethane foam into ready-made molds. And prepared with the required shapes, it gives a very large amount of production compared to the traditional methods in which one piece used to take days to manufacture.

Polyurethane and coating:
And do not forget, the paint as coating the furniture with polyurethane materials gives different touches to highlight the beauty of wood, and it also helps to make it very solid and more resistant to weather conditions and the result is more beautiful furniture that is resistant to water, corrosion and external influences.

Pillows and mattresses manufacturing:
Also, the manufacture of pillows and mattresses has become much easier through different polyurethane materials, as the mattresses and pillows made of polyurethane foam have become the most in demand with the new features they provide that help in orthopedic as they adapt to the body structure of the person who sleeps on them, which improves the properties of sleep And comfort.

Our conversation about the world of polymers has not ended yet, and we will learn together in later articles about this world, and together we will try to discover its secrets.
