MDI Shortage Impact – What You Need To Know To Prepare

Building Envelope Associates is providing an update on Polyiso insulation production for the upcoming months.

A shortage of carbon dioxide chloride is disrupting MDI production, leading to a progressively constrained supply among all U.S. Polyiso manufacturers. This shortage, which is affecting Polyiso output, coupled with planned plant maintenance during the summer months, may substantially affect Polyiso order fulfillment. In addition, rising freight costs and limited truck availability prevail. These variables will put further pressure on delivery schedules.

Supply Volatility

Supply volatility may force Polyiso manufacturers to reduce output and extend lead times, unexpectedly and without advance notice.
