Factors Affecting Polyurethanes Prices

Polyurethanes are a type of plastic that is used in many different products. They are made from two types of chemicals, polymers, and isocyanates. Polyurethanes are used in many different industries, including the automotive industry, construction industry, and the furniture industry.

The price of polyurethanes in Germany has been rising in recent years. This is due to a number of factors, including the increasing cost of raw materials, the strong demand for polyurethanes from China, and the weak Euro.

One factor that has contributed to the rising price of polyurethanes in Germany is the increasing cost of raw materials. The two main ingredients of polyurethanes, polymers, and isocyanates, have both become more expensive in recent years. The cost of these raw materials has been passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices for polyurethane products.

Another factor that has contributed to the rising price of polyurethanes in Germany is the strong demand for these products from China. China is the world's largest consumer of polyurethanes, and they have been increasingly turning to German manufacturers for their supplies. This increased demand has put pressure on prices, causing them to rise.

Finally, another factor that has contributed to the rising price of polyurethanes in Germany is the weak Euro.
