Report Overview

Polyester polyols for PU foams are a specific type of polyester polyol used as a key ingredient in the production of polyurethane (PU) foams. These polyols are synthesized through the reaction of dibasic acids (like adipic acid) with diols (such as ethylene glycol), creating a flexible polymer with hydroxyl groups at the end, which then reacts with isocyanates to form polyurethane.

In PU foams, polyester polyols contribute to properties such as high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and chemical stability, making them ideal for applications requiring durability. PU foams made with polyester polyols are used in rigid foams for insulation (such as in refrigerators or building materials) and flexible foams for products like cushions, mattresses, and automotive seating. Compared to polyether polyols, polyester polyols offer better resistance to solvents, oils, and chemicals, but may be less flexible and more prone to hydrolysis. These characteristics make polyester polyols suited for more structural or heavy-duty foams, where long-term performance and resistance to harsh conditions are critical.

The global Polyester Polyols for PU Foams market size is projected to grow from US$ 1536 million in 2024 to US$ 1786 million in 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% from 2024 to 2030.
