Polyurethanex 2027: event guide

Polyurethanex 2027 is the 18th International Specialized Exhibition on raw materials, equipment and technologies for polyurethane production. The organiser lists the exhibition for 16–18 March 2027 at Pavilion 1, Halls 1 and 4, Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre, marketed as Moscow, Russia. The organiser’s linked map identifies the venue address in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Oblast; the venue is outside Moscow proper. Mir-Expo Exhibition Company LLC organises the show. Alongside the exhibition floor, the 2027 business programme includes a scientific and practical conference on technologies for producing and using polyurethane materials, plus presentations by industry companies.

Why Polyurethanex matters

Review materials and production technology

The exhibition focuses on polyurethane raw materials, production and processing technologies, equipment and end products. For manufacturers and processors, seeing these parts of the chain together can help frame technical comparisons and supplier discussions around a real production need.

Connect technical questions with business decisions

The organiser describes the exhibition as a place for professional exchange and business relationships. Visitors can use that setting to ask how materials, machinery and process choices relate to their own products, specifications and operating requirements.

Follow current production and application topics

The 2027 programme lists the third scientific and practical conference on technologies for the production and use of polyurethane materials, as well as presentations by industry companies. Check the organiser’s programme information before planning around individual sessions.

The organiser reported that the 2026 exhibition occupied about 15,000 square metres and hosted 294 exhibitors, including 135 domestic and 159 foreign companies from six countries. It reported about 7,500 visitors, 90% of whom were specialists in different industrial fields. These are approximate attendance and area figures for 2026, not a forecast for 2027.

Who should visit Polyurethanex?

Polyurethane manufacturers and processors

Useful if you are reviewing materials, processing methods or production equipment. Prioritise the raw materials and machinery relevant to your current formulations or production line, and prepare questions about compatibility, throughput, operating requirements and technical support.

• Compare material and equipment options against a defined production requirement.
• Discuss processing or modernisation questions with relevant suppliers.
• Record specifications and follow-up information needed for a technical evaluation.

Industrial buyers and technical teams

The organiser identifies visitors from automotive, rail, aircraft and pipeline transport, oil and gas, construction, furniture, footwear, chemical, mining and metallurgical industries. If you buy or specify polyurethane-based materials or production technologies, use the show to identify relevant suppliers and make comparisons against your application.

• Bring the product use, operating conditions and essential specifications for the project.
• Separate immediate procurement needs from longer-term supplier or technology research.
• Ask for technical documentation and next steps rather than relying on a brief stand conversation.

Researchers, educators and public-sector specialists

The organiser’s visitor profile includes research and educational institutions and representatives of ministries and departments. The conference and company presentations provide a setting to follow production and application topics and to compare industrial questions with current technical discussion.

• Identify the production or application issues you want to investigate.
• Use the conference information to select relevant sessions when the detailed schedule is available.
• Capture useful references and questions for discussion after the event.

What can you find at Polyurethanex?

The event’s stated scope covers the supply chain for polyurethane materials and their production and processing. The organiser also describes equipment for polyurethane production and end products as part of the exhibition and business programme.

• Raw materials: materials used in polyurethane manufacturing.
• Production and processing: technologies and equipment for making and processing polyurethane materials.
• End products and applications: finished or intermediate products made using polyurethane.
• Technical knowledge: the scientific and practical conference on production and use technologies, with presentations by industry companies.

Use the current exhibitor information and programme published by the organiser to confirm which companies, products and sessions match your interests; a listed category does not guarantee that a particular supplier or product will be present.

What makes Polyurethanex different?

Its focus links polyurethane materials and production technology with industrial applications. The organiser positions the exhibition around raw materials, equipment and technologies for polyurethane production, while its programme adds a scientific and practical conference on production and use. That combination can be useful to visitors who need to consider both material choices and the processes used to manufacture or apply them.

The organiser also reports that Composite-Expo takes place at the same venue and time. Its visitor invitation information says the invitation is valid for both exhibitions. Check the current registration terms and venue arrangements if you plan to visit both.

What should you aim to achieve?

If you manufacture or process polyurethane

Define one material, process or equipment decision to investigate. List the specifications and operating conditions that matter, then compare supplier responses against the same criteria.

If you buy for an industrial application

Identify a shortlist of relevant suppliers and the evidence needed to evaluate them. For each conversation, record the application, product or technology discussed, documentation requested and agreed next action.

If you work in research or technical education

Leave with a concise set of current production and application questions. Note which conference topics or company presentations could inform your work, and what technical references you need to follow up.

How to prepare before Polyurethanex

1. Set a clear objective. Decide whether you are sourcing materials, reviewing processing technology, comparing production equipment or following technical developments.
2. Write down your requirements. Bring relevant product specifications, process constraints, project stage and questions. Share commercially sensitive information only when appropriate.
3. Review the organiser’s exhibitor and programme information. Prioritise listed companies and conference items that directly relate to your objective; confirm the latest details before travelling.
4. Plan the visit by priority. Mark essential conversations as A, useful comparisons as B and optional exploration as C. Leave time to revisit technical questions.
5. Prepare comparable questions. Ask suppliers about material or equipment specifications, compatibility with your process, documentation, implementation needs and the next step for a detailed evaluation.

How to make the most of the exhibition

Use a consistent note for each discussion: Company → product or technology → application fit → evidence needed → next action. For example, record which polyurethane production requirement a material or machine may address, what technical information is still missing and who will provide it. This makes later comparisons more useful than collecting brochures without context.

For conference sessions or company presentations, note the topic, the question it helps answer and any reference or follow-up you want to pursue. Do not treat a presentation or product discussion as a substitute for checking specifications against your own production conditions.

Travelling to Polyurethanex

The event is marketed by the organiser as taking place in Moscow, while the linked map pin gives the Crocus Expo address as 16 Mezhdunarodnaya Street, Krasnogorsk, Moscow Oblast. Allow for this distinction when planning accommodation or local arrangements. The organiser identifies Myakinino metro station on the Arbat-Pokrovskaya line as the public-transport stop for the exhibition centre and gives the Moscow Ring Road/Volokolamskoye Highway junction as the car approach.

The venue page lists opening hours as 10:00–18:00 on 16 and 17 March and 10:00–16:00 on 18 March 2027. Confirm the organiser’s current travel and opening information before departure.

One day or several days?

One day may suit visitors with a focused supplier or technical objective and a short priority list. Check the programme first if a specific conference topic matters to your visit.

Two days may give buyers and technical teams more room to compare suppliers, attend relevant programme items and revisit unanswered questions.

All three days may be useful when you have several product or process areas to investigate or plan to combine exhibition discussions with conference participation. Choose the length based on the current programme and your priorities rather than assuming every session or exhibitor requires a full visit.

After Polyurethanex: turn notes into decisions

Sort contacts into three groups: A – immediate evaluation, where a product or technology matches an active requirement; B – potential fit, where specifications or commercial terms need more review; and C – market information, where the conversation informs longer-term planning. Follow up with a specific request, such as technical data, compatibility details, application references or a proposal, when relevant. Compare supplier responses against the same criteria and record open questions before making procurement or process decisions.

Who should consider exhibiting?

The organiser’s stated scope is relevant to suppliers of polyurethane raw materials, production and processing technologies, equipment and end products, as well as companies presenting related industrial applications. The 2026 edition included 294 exhibitors, of which the organiser reported 135 domestic and 159 foreign companies from six countries. Prospective exhibitors can use the show’s product focus and specialist visitor profile to set a clear objective, such as presenting a product range, discussing technical requirements or assessing potential distribution and industry relationships. Define what evidence would make participation worthwhile; exhibition presence alone does not guarantee leads or sales.

Polyurethane opportunities in Russia

Market size and demand

Grand View Research’s market model estimates Russian polyurethane market revenue at US?.8 million in 2025 and forecasts US?,186.2 million by 2033. These are commercial research estimates and forecasts, not official national statistics. The same source identifies methylene diphenyl di-isocyanate as the largest raw-material segment by 2025 revenue and polyols as the fastest-growing raw-material segment over its forecast period.

What this may mean for exhibitors and visitors

Polyurethane raw-material suppliers, including MDI and polyol businesses, may use the event to test whether their products fit the needs of Russian processors and industrial users. Buyers and technical visitors may compare material and processing options against application requirements. Treat the published market figures as a starting point for questions, not as evidence of specific customer demand, margins or easy market entry. Current official trade, regulatory and product-certification conditions were not verified for this guide, so confirm them independently before a commercial decision.

Discover Moscow

Moscow offers visitors cultural collections alongside a business trip. The venue itself is in Krasnogorsk, outside Moscow proper, so distinguish the exhibition-centre location from attractions in the city.

Tretyakov Gallery

The gallery’s collection presents Russian art from the 12th to the early 20th century and spans eleven centuries, according to the institution.

New Tretyakov

At Krymsky Val, New Tretyakov presents twentieth-century art, including avant-garde and nonconformist currents. Visitors can set aside time for a city visit around the exhibition days, while checking current public information before making plans.
