Abstract

Polyurethane foam contains toluene diisocyanate (TDI). This molecule is prepared with phosgene, which has a negative impact on the environment. To design a more sustainable process for the production of polyurethane two green alternatives, non-isocyanate based polyurethane (NIPU) and Natural Oil Polyol (NOP), have been theoretically researched by using Van Krevelen’s group contribution theory. Both alternatives successfully contribute to the set goal and a strategic shift for the producer of polyurethane has been proposed.
