Polyurethane Catalyst Market 2022–30 — Tosoh Corporation (Japan), Covestro AG (Germany), BASF SE (Germany), Kao Corporation (Japan)

  Rising Infrastructure Activities Fuels the Growth of Global Polyurethane Catalysts Market Polyurethane is a polymer made up of organic units connected to urethane. Polyurethanes a r e produced from exothermic reactions between alcohols with two or more reactive hydroxyl groups per molecule and isocyanate with more than one reactive isocyanate per molecule. Polyurethane catalysts help to facilitate the formation of polyurethane. This also modifies the reaction conditions and the final product. Catalysts play a crucial role in the manufacture of polyurethane foam. The development of polyurethane foam requires a regulated environment given by polyurethane catalyst. New low-emission, high-efficiency catalysts help manufacturers produce environmentally friendly foams. Broadly polyurethane catalysts can be categorized as amine and metallic catalysts. They are used in the formulation of various polyurethane products such as rigid foam, flexible foam, elastomer, coating, and others. As a...
