Polyurethane Facts
- Polyurethanes are very versatile , allowing them to solve challenging problems, be molded into unusual shapes and enhance industrial and consumer products.
- Polyurethanes are formed by reacting a polyol with a diisocyanate or a polymeric isocyanate in the presence of suitable catalysts and additives.
- Flexible polyurethane foam accounts for about 30 percent of the entire North American polyurethane market, and is used largely for bedding, furniture and in the automotive industry.
- CPI members are leaders in product stewardship and CPI creates and shares safety and health resources for most aspects of manufacturing and processing of polyurethanes.
2022 Professional Development Program
For almost 20 years CPI’s Education Center has been offering the Professional Development Program (PDP) to industry veterans and newcomers. The PDP offers unmatched opportunities for participants to increase their knowledge of the polyurethane industry through an extensive variety of courses which provides topics of interest to non-technical and technical professionals alike.
RegisterSafe Handling of Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) and Toluene Diisocyanate (TDI)
Two training programs designed to inform employers and employees of the potential hazards associated with the handling of MDI and TDI and best practices to minimize potential risks.
