Chairman of IPUA Mukesh Bhuta highlighted the thrust areas of the association in making polyurethane socially relevant with the Technical Centre at Pune as well as the education and capacity building initiatives in building insulation techniques through the India Insulation Forum & the Spray Foam Alliance of India. “From rigid to flexible, from solid to cellular, from paint and coating to adhesive, from plastic to elastomer, from film to fiber, from thermoplastic to thermosetting, polyurethane covers it all! No other single polymer has such versatility! Come and see it at PU TECH 2017 This edition is themed “Futuristic Polyurethanes’. With a per capita consumption of polyurethanes of just 200 gms, compared to China’s 2.2 kgs, India has a high potential to gain from the double-digit world-beating growth of this industry which caters to footwear, automobile, mattress, refrigerator or buildings. More and more, its importance in minimizing food waste through temperature controlled food supply chain, reduction of global warming gases emission through lightweight materials in automobile structurals and buildings insulation, high performance materials and coatings in the renewable energy mechanics, conversion from waste to wealth through wood binding – these are but a few examples of the efficacy of polyurethanes in making possible a creatively sustainable world.
