From April 24 to April 26, 2025, POLYWIN Chemical Shanghai Co., Ltd participated in the Pakistan Chemical Forum held in Lahore, Pakistan. The event provided an excellent platform for industry professionals to connect, share insights, and explore the latest advancements in chemical technologies. Our participation in this prestigious forum marked a significant step in expanding our presence in the South Asian market, especially in the field of polyurethane solutions.

Exhibition Highlights

1. Core Product Showcase

During the forum, we showcased a wide range of products designed to meet the evolving needs of various industries, including footwear, automotive, and construction. Key products included:

TDI/MDI-Based Prepolymers: With a full hardness range from Shore A to D, these prepolymers are customizable to meet the specific demands of different manufacturing processes, from gel time to operational lifespan.
Low Free Isocyanate (LF) Technology: This technology highlights our commitment to sustainability and environmental protection, offering solutions that comply with industry hygiene standards while meeting the needs of applications such as casting elastomers, foams, and adhesives.
Specialty Polyurethane Products: Including flame-retardant wheel-grade prepolymers, solvent-resistant prepolymers, hydrophilic foam-specific HF prepolymers, and MDI-based polyester ternary systems, catering to highly specialized needs in various sectors.

2. Technical Communication and Collaboration

Our team engaged in extensive technical discussions with industry experts, potential customers, and local partners. We focused on understanding the unique challenges faced by the local market, particularly in relation to the high-temperature and high-humidity conditions prevalent in Pakistan. Our solutions, particularly in the area of weather-resistant prepolymers, were well-received.

We also emphasized our ability to provide tailored solutions that help shorten development cycles and reduce production costs, showcasing our strong technical expertise.

3. Strengthening Brand Influence

The exhibition proved to be a great success, with over 20 potential customers visiting our booth. Six of them expressed interest in testing our products through sample testing, which demonstrates the strong demand for our advanced polyurethane solutions in the region. We also had the opportunity to speak with local media, sharing our philosophy of "customer-centric + technological innovation," which further boosted our brand recognition in the South Asian market.

Market Insights

Through our interactions at the forum, we gained valuable insights into the local market trends and competitive landscape:
Footwear Industry: There is growing demand for lightweight, high-rebound polyurethane soles, driven by regulatory pressure to reduce VOC emissions and shift towards eco-friendly materials.
Automotive and Industrial Sectors: There is an increasing need for oil- and wear-resistant prepolymers, particularly for automotive components such as seals and shock absorbers. Additionally, the packaging industry is showing interest in new foam materials.

Looking Ahead

Our participation in the Pakistan Chemical Forum has provided us with a clearer understanding of market dynamics and customer needs. Based on this experience, we have outlined several key initiatives for the future:

Localized Formula Solutions: We are developing optimized prepolymer formulations tailored to the specific needs of the Pakistani market, with a focus on weather-resistant MDI prepolymers.
Regional Technical Service Center: To enhance our customer support capabilities, we are planning to establish a regional technical service center, in collaboration with local distributors, to offer faster and more efficient pre-sales and after-sales support.
Customer Engagement: We will be revisiting key customers in Q3 2025 to encourage the testing of samples and aim for a 20% increase in sales within the South Asian market by the end of the year.

Conclusion

Participating in the Pakistan Chemical Forum was a major milestone for POLYWIN Chemical Shanghai Limited as we continue to expand our presence in South Asia. Our commitment to technological innovation and customer satisfaction will remain the driving force behind our efforts to provide sustainable and high-quality polyurethane solutions. We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and look forward to further strengthening our partnerships in the region.
