Description: technologyComment of polyurethane production, flexible foam, MDI-based (RER): Polyurethane is made by reacting diisocyanates and polyols. To generate PU foam, addition of water to the main reagents causes a side reaction producing carbon dioxide, which acts as a blowing agent. Flexible slabstock polyurethane foams are produced as large blocks using a continuous process with minimal human handling. Continuous foam machines are the standard in Europe today.

Comment: This is a market activity. Each market represents the consumption mix of a product in a given geography, connecting suppliers with consumers of the same product in the same geographical area. Markets group the producers and also the imports of the product (if relevant) within the same geographical area. They also account for transport to the consumer and for the losses during that process, when relevant. This dataset represents the supply of 1 kg of polyurethane, flexible foam from activities that produce it within the geography RER. A regional market for Europe [RER] is motivated by the low share (in the range of 5.1%-6.1% of total trade quantities between 2010-2016) of import quantities to EU28 from outside (excluding Norway and Switzerland) the Union. In addition, the export quantities exceeded the import quantities (the ratio export/import was in the range of 11-14 in the same period). Source: Eurostat database, EU trade since 1988 by HS6 (DS-016893), HS6-code: 390950 - POLYURETHANES, IN PRIMARY FORMS, Assessed on: 2017-11-28. The transport amounts are based on eurostat transport statistics for 2016 (http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/data/database, extracted on the 2018-06-01). See exchange comments for additional details. This market is supplied by the following activities with the given share: polyurethane production, flexible foam, MDI-based, RER: 0.2 polyurethane production, flexible foam, TDI-based, high density, RER: 0.4 polyurethane production, flexible foam, TDI-based, low density, RER: 0.4 generalComment of polyurethane production, flexible foam, MDI-based (RER): This dataset represents the production of 1 kg of one possible composition of polyurethane (PUR) flexible foam (density 45 to 53 kg/m³). Flexible polyurethane foam is used to manufacture mattresses, upholstered furniture and car seats, but also acoustic insulation boards, carpet underlays, household sponges, clothing and sportswear, packaging and many other applications. The MDI-based foams are increasingly used for bedding applications due to their viscoelastic properties (also known as “memory” and pressure-relieving properties. The inventory is estimated based on industrial data.

Flexible polyurethane foam is used to manufacture mattresses, upholstered furniture and car seats, but also acoustic insulation boards, carpet underlays, household sponges, clothing and sportswear, packaging and many other applications. More specifically, the high density TDI-based grades are typically used in furniture and bedding, whereas the low-density TDI-based grades are preferred for insulation, packaging, building and footwear.This dataset models the production of PUR foam from polyol and toluene diisocyanate (TDI).
