概述

Scope of the Report

Polyurethane foam is light in weight, high in specific strength, low in thermal conductivity, resistant to water, heat, flame, and simple in molding process. It has excellent physical and mechanical properties and is a high-quality thermal insulation, heat preservation, and cold preservation material. It is currently widely used in refrigeration equipment such as cold storage, refrigerated trucks, refrigerators, and freezers. In low temperature environments, its mechanical strength generally does not decrease, but may increase on the contrary, and its dimensional stability is good, and there will be no shrinkage.

Refrigerated containers and refrigerated insulated trucks are important storage and transportation tools for cold chain logistics. At present, polyurethane rigid foam plastic is the first choice for thermal insulation materials in this field, and is the key to improving the cold chain preservation effect, and has made a great contribution to energy conservation and emission reduction. It is a common refrigerator-grade insulation material, which is a refrigerator and freezer that uses polyurethane rigid foam as insulation material. It has a thin insulation layer and a large effective volume, which can reduce the dead weight of electrical appliances.

Polyurethane rigid foam has good manufacturability and is suitable for the production of vehicle bodies by injection molding, foaming, bonding, spraying and other processes. It is widely used in the refrigeration automobile manufacturing industry.

In addition, it can also be used in portable incubators and for transporting vaccines, biological products, medicines and foods that require low-temperature storage.

Technological Advancements:

Innovations in insulation materials, such as improved thermal resistance, lighter weight, and enhanced durability, will drive market growth. Advances in materials science, including the development of new polymers and composites, will also play a role.

Globalization and Trade:

Increased international trade and the growth of global supply chains will drive the demand for efficient cold chain solutions. The expansion of international markets will necessitate more robust and reliable insulation materials to maintain product integrity during transit.

E-commerce Growth:

The rise of e-commerce, particularly for perishable goods and pharmaceuticals, will significantly impact the cold chain industry. This growth will drive demand for advanced insulation solutions to ensure product quality during transportation and storage.

Environmental Concerns:

There is a growing emphasis on sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of materials. The development of eco-friendly and recyclable insulation materials will become more important, aligning with broader environmental goals and consumer preferences.

Competitive Landscape:

The strategies and innovations of key players in the market, including mergers, acquisitions, and new product launches, will shape the competitive dynamics and influence market development.

Latest points:

Huntsman recently worked with partners to develop the "Low-carbon Cold Storage Evaluation Standards", proposed the concept of "low-carbon cold storage", incorporated energy efficiency management centered on carbon emission reduction into overall operation monitoring, gave full play to the characteristics of high-performance polyurethane, improved thermal resistance efficiency, and improved building operation energy consumption.

Chlorofluorine-free polyurethane chemical foaming agent and corresponding green rigid foam polyurethane solution jointly developed by Butian New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. and Shandong University of Technology.
