Polyurethanes are playing an increasingly essential part in the automobile industry, with novel lightweight composites for automotive components addressing challenges including emissions, flame retardants, fogging, and humid-ageing of foam products.
Because polyurethane-based products are well-suited for a wide range of automotive applications, they continue to be the most extensively used polymer in the industry.
Their adaptability has led to uses in everything from bumpers to paint coatings to automobile seat cushions, headrests, steering wheels, noise-reducing carpets, and air filters.
However, their continued usage confronts numerous obstacles, ranging from European regulation to tighter requirements that differ from manufacturer to manufacturer.
The Europe Automotive Urethane Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2027.
Huntsman has introduced the ACOUSTIFLEX® LE and RUBIFLEX® LE polyurethane product lines, which are low-emission MDI-based foam systems for automobile interiors.
These cutting-edge technologies enable worldwide automobile formulators and foam manufacturers to create high-performance polyurethane foams while lowering interior emissions to fulfil OEM regulations.
Consumer preferences and emerging regulations governing Vehicle Interior Air Quality emissions from interior components â including national laws in many countries, new international ISO standards, or policies such as the Circular Cars Initiative EU policy action roadmap1 â are driving the automotive industry to meet its sustainability goals.
Huntsman has responded to the industry's issue of lowering emissions of interior components by embedding sustainability into its product lines with low emission (LE) forward-looking technology. Manufacturers and drivers will benefit from cleaner, lighter, and more circular PU technologies that provide superior comfort.
Low-emission polyurethanes ACOUSTIFLEX® LE and RUBIFLEX® LE are the first completely commercialised technologies on the market. These compounds were created for use in car seats and sound insulation components.
Producers can reduce the number of various types of PU products they need to acquire by using them to make a wide range of conventional automotive components, streamlining procurement and value chains.
