CASE Applications Account For 32% Of Polyurethane Demand
In this issue, we pay special attention to polyurethanes, a major chemistry used in adhesives. As such, the state of the polyurethanes industry is of keen interest to manufacturers, formulators and applicators of adhesives.
The ¿End-Use Market Survey of the Polyurethane Industry in the United States and Canada,¿ addresses the current state of the entire industry. The study reveals that the polyurethane (PUR) industry will grow at a rate of 3.1 percent (3 percent in the United States, 3.7 percent in Canada) annually through the year 2000. Fran W. Lichtenberg, executive director, Alliance for the Polyurethanes Industry (API), presented the survey results at the closing session of the API-sponsored Polyurethanes Expo¿99, Orlando, Fla., last September.
