DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "North America Microcellular Polyurethane Foam Market - Analysis and Forecast to 2021" report to their offering.
The North America microcellular polyurethane foam market is estimated to be at USD 1,211.0 million in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 1,538.0 million by 2021, at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2016 to 2021. Microcellular polyurethane foams are innovative materials that are highly durable and light in weight. They are used in varied industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and construction, owing to their lightweight.
Usage of microcellular polyurethane foams helps in reducing structural weight of the products manufactured by various industries. Moreover, the versatile properties offered by these foams result in conservation of natural resources, since less material is required for manufacturing consumer goods.
Polyurethane foams are the chain of polyols that are produced through a chemical reaction between an isocyanate and polyhydric alcohol. These foams are extremely versatile and as such, are widely used in varied applications, such as foam insulations, car seats, and abrasion resistant coatings. Polyurethane foams are used in varied cellular forms, such as low density flexible foams, high density flexible foams, and microcellular foams. They are also used in non-cellular forms such as elastomers.
Microcellular polyurethane foams are widely used due to properties, such as high resistance and durability, increased flexibility, optimal impact resilience, low weight, high thermal insulation, and increased cushioning offered by them. These foams have been widely used in energy absorbing bumper mountings and auxiliary suspension units of wheels. They are also used in shoe soles.
