From March 25 to 27, 2025, the global coatings industry turned its attention to the European Coatings Show (ECS) in Nuremberg, Germany. As a pioneer in new materials, Zhejiang NHU Company Ltd. made a grand appearance with its flagship product IPDI and other cutting-edge solutions, highlighting sustainable innovations for industries including wind energy, automotive, construction, electronics, coatings, and adhesives. Through in-depth exchanges with global clients and partners, NHU demonstrated its integrated supply chain capabilities and green technology leadership, injecting new momentum into global sustainable development.

IPDI: The "Golden Key" for High-End Polyurethane Materials

IPDI (Isophorone Diisocyanate), a benchmark product in aliphatic diisocyanates, has become a "golden raw material" for high-end coatings, elastomers, and adhesives, thanks to its controllable reactivity, exceptional weather resistance, and eco-friendly properties. Leveraging its vertically integrated supply chain (IP-IPN-IPDA-IPDI) and advanced international production processes, NHU delivers IPDI with superior performance and broader application potential.

Advanced Technology Ensures Premium Quality

• Precision Manufacturing: Utilizing phosgenation technology, NHU’s IPDI achieves 99.5% purity and industry-leading batch consistency, meeting stringent requirements for automotive OEM paints, electronic encapsulants, and more.
• Green Closed-Loop Production: Minimal VOC emissions, exceeding EU environmental standards, supporting customers’ sustainability goals.
• Global Certifications: Compliant with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and backed by full traceability (TDS/COA reports), ensuring reliability from production to delivery.

Global Supply Chain Excellence

• End-to-End Control: From raw materials to finished products, NHU’s vertically integrated model ensures cost efficiency and consistent quality.
• Worldwide Logistics: With production bases in China and warehousing hubs in Germany, NHU reduces delivery times by 30%, offering localized responsiveness.
• 48-Hour Emergency Support: Partnering with global logistics leaders, NHU maintains safety stock to mitigate supply chain risks.
