Iranian Polyurethane Manufacturers Association
Iranian Polyurethane Manufacturers Association
The Iranian Polyurethane Manufacturers Association was established in 2021 (1399 in the Iranian calendar) under the supervision of the Iran Chamber of Commerce, with the dedication of its founding board. Over the past four years, the association has been actively working to protect the interests and rights of its members. The association’s board members unanimously agree that the growth potential and domestic capabilities of the polyurethane industry exceed its current capacity. With proper planning and collaboration with policymakers, the industry can achieve self-sufficiency in all polyurethane production grades for domestic consumption while also meeting the demands of international buyers. The association members, adhering to the approved ethical and professional charter, view fair competition and collective industry growth as essential. They work together to enhance technical knowledge, improve production quality, and create the foundation for expanding both domestic and international markets.
Polyurethane, often abbreviated as PU, refers to a category of polymers typically produced through the reaction of an isocyanate with a polyol. Unlike other common polymers such as polyethylene and polystyrene, polyurethanes are derived from a wide range of raw materials. This chemical versatility allows polyurethanes to be used in various applications, including rigid foam, soft foam, semi-rigid foam, flexible foam, sound and thermal insulation, spray coatings, resins, and more. Approximately 67% of all polyurethane production is dedicated to foam manufacturing.
