In their words: American-made manufacturing
Why it matters
Four reasons buyers are switching to U.S.-made systems
Skip the stacked import duties
Chinese coatings and polyurethanes now carry up to 37.5% in Section 301 tariffs on top of normal duty, and Chinese MDI faces dumping duties of 87% to 162%. Systems made here don't pay those duties at the border.
Supply that keeps moving
When the Strait of Hormuz closed in 2026, global MDI prices jumped about 40%, while U.S. export prices rose about 10%. Domestic production is a buffer against shocks overseas.
Qualify for public work
Federal Buy American rules require 65% domestic content today and 75% from 2029. Federal highway projects now need more than 55% domestic components for manufactured products.
Know where it was made
American manufacturers can show where a system is blended and where key inputs come from, and the FTC is cracking down on false Made in USA claims.
Tariffs in 2026
Tariffs are reshaping the polyurea market.
The Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs in February, but Section 301 duties, a new antidumping order on Chinese MDI and tougher Buy America rules all point the same way: toward coatings made in the United States.

Coatings, polyurethanes and polymeric MDI pay a 25% legacy Section 301 tariff plus 12.5% since July 24, 2026.
Raw materials
U.S. producers held 82.7% of the U.S. MDI market in early 2025, and BASF is doubling its Louisiana MDI plant to 600,000 metric tons a year.
