Q Please share about the journey of Chemie products till date. Please explain about your contribution in the Polyurethane segment?
Chemie Products Private Limited was established in 1996 by Mr Ashok K Sachdeva as a manufacturing company for PU Color Paste for Flexible Slab-stock foam Industry. Back then, all colours for the foam industry used to be imported and therefore, our company helped in the localization of the colour industry in the Indian market. This offered the PU Industry more variety of colours, faster delivery time and cost competitiveness.
Q How is your company working towards helping the PU foam segment grow in India and offer better alternatives than its peers like coir and spring segment?
We have been developing products for import substitution, cost competitiveness and new product demands for the PU Industry. Our Liquid colours offer a cost-competitive solution to imported colourants while maintaining all quality parameters. Our Release Agents help in moulded foam production thus making Pillows and Moulded mattresses. Our Binder helps in recycling PU foams and provides high hardness to provide structural stability in mattresses while maintaining flexibility. Our FR, UV, colours, and coatings, help in making the product much more versatile and usable in various applications. PU is already far more customizable product as compared to Coir or Spring. Our focus is to make products that make it even more customizable.
Q How do you plan to support the Mattress Circular Journey (MCJ)?
We are supporting the mattress circular journey by being a key partner of the industry by manufacturing and providing PU Binders which act as an adhesive for PU foam scrap to make re-bonded foam which has many useful applications like orthopaedic mattresses or to provide structural stability in the Mattresses. These re-bonded foams are also used in NVH for noise and vibration insulation in the Automotive Industry amongst many other applications. Therefore, there is such a huge demand for scrap foam due to its usage that very few mattresses should land in landfills. We are continuously working for some new products to empower the Mattress Industry for new achievements.
