Product Description

Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) is an important aliphatic diisocyanate that is a transparent, thin liquid commonly utilized in making polyurethane coatings, adhesives, and elastomers. It is produced by the reaction between hexamethylene diamine and phosgene. It is available in three primary derivatives, including HDI biuret, HDI isocyanurate, and HDI trimer, each with distinct characteristics suited for various uses.

HDI is acknowledged for its ability to improve the quality of polyurethane items, especially in coatings that need to be long-lasting and able to withstand various environmental elements like ultraviolet (UV) radiation, moisture, and chemicals. Its aliphatic composition offers better protection when compared to aromatic isocyanates, which makes it ideal for use in transparent coatings and finishes. It enhances the mechanical attributes of polyurethane products, such as strength, malleability, and resistance to wear. It also improves the durability and visual attractiveness of coatings utilized in automotive, aerospace, industrial, and architectural sectors.

Europe Hexamethylene Diisocyanate (HDI) Price

During Q4 2023, there was a decrease in the European market due to a drop in demand for polyurethane products. At the start of the quarter, an increase in the accessibility of bio-based options, combined with an excess supply, led to a decrease in demand from buyers. Despite consistent shipping costs, manufacturing activity decreased as reported by the Manufacturing PMI data. At the close of the quarter, economic instability caused a decrease in the furniture market, resulting in a decreased need for polyurethane foams. As a result, there was a sustained surplus of HDI inventories and minimal consumption rates, causing a further decrease in the market.

This analysis can be extended to include detailed hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) price information for a comprehensive list of countries.

North America Hexamethylene Diisocyanate (HDI) Price

During the last quarter of 2023, the North American market experienced a decline, primarily caused by decreased demand and stagnant production within the polyurethane sector. The early decline in demand in the automotive industry was caused by reduced manufacturing activity due to the UAW strike. The market was further impacted by stable political tensions leading to falling prices of Butadiene and crude oil. Midway through the quarter, cargo rates dropped owing to low water levels in key shipping routes, which resulted in an increase in HDI inventories domestically. The market remained inactive due to the rise of bio-based replacements and careful consumer spending, resulting in consistently low prices.
