Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), is the fastest-growing raw material for PU sole (footwear polyurethane).
Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) is a raw material for PU sole (footwear polyurethane). MDI is the most widely-used aromatic diisocyanate in footwear polyurethane, which primarily exists in three isomers, namely 2,2- MDI, 2,4-MDI, and 4,4-MDI. 4,4’-MDI isomer is used in shoe sole formulation. In order to make polyurethane for footwear, MDI is reacted with polyols in the presence of other additives. MDI-based polyurethanes have applications in compact outsoles and unit soles. The properties of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), such as high degree of stiffness and resilience is expected to drive the market for this segment.
Increasing footwear production and sales—the major driver of the PU sole (footwear polyurethane) market.
