Details : Germany - based plant Q2 2026
This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of polyol (polyester polyol) from multifunctional carboxylic acids and polyhydroxyl compounds. The multifunctional carboxylic acids can be adipic acid, phthalic acid, succinic acid, or maleic acid, and the polyhydroxyl compounds such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, or 1,4-butanediol. The manufacturing process of polyol (polyester polyol) involves the condensation reaction of multifunctional carboxylic acids and polyhydroxyl compounds. This condensation reaction is conducted under controlled conditions which proceeds through an esterification reaction that facilitates the formation of polyester chains and the release of water as a byproduct. After which the final product polyol (polyester polyol) is obtained.
The feedstock of polyol primarily includes the various multifunctional carboxylic acids such as adipic acid, succinic acid, phthalic acid, or maleic acid and polyhydroxyl compounds such as ethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, or propylene glycol. The price of feedstock and polyols, market dynamics of its downstream industries (foams, mattresses), or demand fluctuation in the chemical industries producing these feedstocks chiefly governs the procurement of polyol. Additionally, factors like government policies, regulatory requirements, and environmental regulations also impact the procurement of polyol.
