Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. Polyurethane Additives, Business Overview

 

Air Products' Polyurethane Additives Business

 

Long-Time Commitment to the Polyurethane Industry
More than 35 years ago, Air Products revolutionized the polyurethane industry with the introduction of Dabco® Crystalline Catalyst (triethylenediamine). This pivotal product quickly became the industry standard amine catalyst. But this was just the beginning. Today, Air Products is a global leader in polyurethane additives, offering the broadest range of catalysts and surfactants for all types of flexible, rigid and microcellular foams. We also offer a line of prepolymers and curatives for cast polyurethanes.

In-depth Knowledge of Our Customers and Markets
Working closely with our customers, we continually stay abreast of the latest trends and issues affecting the polyurethane markets. This enables us to proactively develop innovative new products to answer changing market demands.

Global Capability, Local Sales and Support
Our products are backed up by a global network of support services including local sales and technical service personnel and warehousing capabilities that ensure easy access to technical assistance, worldwide product availability, and in-depth knowledge and understanding of regional needs.

World Class R&D and Analytical Capabilities
One of the cornerstones of our business has always been world class research and development capabilities. Not only does this enable us to develop new products and processes to meet changing demands, having state-of-the-art analytical and testing equipment also allows us to provide a range of valuable applications support and troubleshooting tools to our customers. And with laboratories and technology support centers located in the United States, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan and Brazil, our scientists are able to share ideas and capabilities across regions, enabling us to understand and anticipate changing market demands as they spread from region to region.

A Commitment to Responsible Care®
One of our key goals is to be a leader in environmental, health and safety performance. We believe we have an obligation to our customers and employees and to the communities in which we operate. We are strongly committed to programs such as the Responsible Care initiative, and are proud that we were among the first companies in the chemical industry to achieve 100% implementation of all 106 of the Responsible Care practices. Through the development of innovative, environmentally friendly products, we are also able to assist our customers in reducing or eliminating undesirable materials from their processes and helping to create a safer environment for us all.
