Toluene Diisocyanate

Product Description

What is Toluene Diisocyanate (TDI)?

Toluene Diisocyanate (TDI) is an aromatic diisocyanate primarily used in the production of polyurethanes. Known for its reactive nature, TDI is a key chemical building block in the manufacture of flexible foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers.

Chemically represented as CHNO, TDI exists mainly in two isomeric forms: 2,4-TDI and 2,6-TDI, with the 2,4-isomer being more commonly used in industrial applications.

Key Properties of TDI

         Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid

         Boiling Point: ~251C

         Density: ~1.22 g/cm

         Flash Point: ~127C

         Solubility: Reacts with water; soluble in organic solvents

         Reactivity: Highly reactive with compounds containing active hydrogen (e.g., alcohols, amines)

Major Applications of Toluene Diisocyanate

TDI is widely used in various industries due to its versatility and performance characteristics:

1. Flexible Polyurethane Foams

TDI is the primary raw material in the production of soft polyurethane foams used in:

         Mattresses

         Cushions and furniture

         Automotive seats

2. Coatings

Used in industrial and protective coatings, TDI provides excellent durability and resistance to abrasion and chemicals.

3. Adhesives and Sealants

TDI-based formulations are ideal for creating high-performance adhesives and sealants in the construction and automotive sectors.

4. Elastomers

In elastomeric applications, TDI provides flexibility, resilience, and chemical resistance.

Safety and Handling

TDI is a hazardous material and must be handled with extreme care:

         Toxic by inhalation Use appropriate PPE

         Irritant to skin, eyes, and respiratory system

         Requires adequate ventilation and strict industrial hygiene practices

For more safety details, always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
