- ADIs are typically used in many types of coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomer (CASE) applications.
- Production of ADIs and their end-use products employ thousands of workers in facilities across the nation. For example, the U.S. paint and coatings industry employed 312,000 workers in 2023, adding 43,900 jobs since 2013.
- ADIs are also used in construction sealants. For exterior applications, they help provide durability, weather resistance and stability. They are also used in high performance polyurethane elastomers.
