Toluene diisocyanate (TDI), (OCN)2C6H3CH3, is a water-white to pale-yellow liquid with a sharp, pungent odor. It reacts with water to release carbon dioxide. The specific gravity is 1.22, which is heavier than water. TDI is toxic by inhalation and ingestion, and is a strong irritant to skin and other tissue, particularly the eyes. The TLV is 0.005 ppm in air, and the IDLH is 10 ppm. The target organs are the respiratory system and the skin. The four-digit UN identification number is 2078. The NFPA 704 designation is health 3, flammability 1, and reactivity 3. The white section at the bottom of the diamond has a W with a slash through it, indicating water reactivity. The primary uses of TDI are in the manufacture of polyurethane foams, elastomers, and coatings.

Product Application Of Tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate CAS#584-84-9
TDI (toluene diisocyanate) is an important basic raw materials of polyurethane. TDI is a mixture of 2,4-TDI and 2,6-TDI two kinds of isomers, including 3 kinds of commonly used grades: TDI-80/20, TDI-100 and TDI-65/35. Mainly used in the production of flexible polyurethane foam and polyurethane elastomer coatings, adhesives, etc..
