IAL Consultants is pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of its
report: Polyurethane Additive Markets in Europe, Middle East & Africa. This
second-edition volume provides a detailed overview of the various additives
used in the manufacture of polyurethane foams, both rigid and flexible.
Drawing on IAL' s comprehensive research into the global markets for
polyurethane chemicals, this report covers the consumption of additives in the
manufacture of flexible and rigid polyurethane foams in Europe, Middle East &
Africa.
The following additive types are covered:
Blowing agents
Catalysts
Flame retardants
Mould release agents
Surfactants
Antioxidants
The following countries are covered:
Western Europe(12 countries/regions)
Austria, Benelux, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Nordic Region,
Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom
Iran, Levant, North Africa, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, UAE,
West Africa, Other GCC, Other MEA
Research for this report has drawn on a variety of published sources,
including IAL' s studies of the polyurethane chemicals markets, as well as new
primary research including a telephone interview programme conducted during
summer 2010.
