Global Methylene Diphenyl Isocyanate (MDI) Market 2015-2019

About MDI
MDIs (methylene diphenyl diisocyanates) are fundamentally utilized as crude materials for PUs, which are the most adaptable polymers that exist in myriad structures going from rigid foams to dense solid compositions and from flexible foams to elastomers. PUs occur in two structures: PU foams and PU non-foams. Rigid PU foams are mostly utilized as insulators in construction, industrial, packaging, and other consumer applications, and flexible PU foams are utilized as padding materials in transportation, furniture, bedding, floor covering underlay, and packaging applications. Thermosetting elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers are fundamental PU elastomers.

Technavio's analysts forecast the global MDI market to grow at a CAGR of 6.55% by volume during 2014-2019.
