A Survey on Diisocyanates and Polyol Manufacture for Polyurethane Production in Nigeria

Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 1

Abstract

This technical paper reviews the production of the major chemicals for polyurethane production in Nigeria. The market for polyurethane products like foams and mattresses in Nigeria is so large that a host of companies are engaged in the production and sales of such products in the country. It is however regretted that the major chemicals, diisocyantes and polyol required for polyurethane production are totally imported into Nigeria despite the abundance of petroleum which is the major source of the raw materials. This review calls for a feasibility study on the establishment of the plants for the production of diisocyanates and polyol in Nigeria.
