Transforming the Chemical and Polymer Industry

Venturing into the world of chemicals and polymers means exploring a sector where molecular reactivity drives high-value innovations and solutions that redefine industrial performance. In this highly specialized environment, isocyanates are consolidating their position as strategic inputs thanks to their versatility and transformability.

Wanhua’s isocyanate specialties, distributed in Peru by PROQUINSA (Productos Químicos Industriales S.A.), stand out among the protagonists of this technological evolution. Its portfolio, backed by state-of-the-art chemical engineering, opens new possibilities for formulating coatings, adhesives, elastomers, and highly demanding polyurethane systems.

With the support of PROQUINSA’s technical-commercial team, the industry can learn how Wanhua’s solutions are redefining the standards of performance, efficiency, and innovation in the chemical and polymer sector.

The Science behind Isocyanates

Isocyanates are chemical compounds characterized by the presence of the -NCO functional group, which is responsible for their remarkable reactivity with polyols, amines, and other substrates. Thanks to this property, they are essential in the synthesis of polyurethanes, high-performance coatings, foams, structural adhesives, and numerous technical polymers.

In industrial applications, isocyanates act as true chemical activators, enabling the manufacture of materials with superior properties: chemical resistance, thermal stability, controlled flexibility, durability, and excellent abrasion and weathering behavior.

In this context, Wanhua is positioned as a global leader in the production of Isocyanate specialties, a technology that PROQUINSA makes available to the Peruvian and South American industries.
