Chemical groups are collaborating to build a new MDI (diphenylmethane diisocyanate) factory on the site of Shanghai Lianheng Isocyanate in Caojing, China.

MDI is an important precursor in the manufacture of polyurethanes for footwear and the new factory’s location is said to “signal confidence in the long-term prosperity of the single largest market in the world”, said Huntsman CEO Peter Huntsman.
