1.Product Property

 

Colorless transparent or pale yellow flammable liquid. It has a strong irritating odor. It is miscible with ethanol (upon decomposition), diethylene glycol, ether, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, chlorobenzene, kerosene, and olive oil. Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) has six isomers: 2,3-TDI, 2,4-TDI, 2,5-TDI, 2,6-TDI, 3,4-TDI, and 3,5-TDI. Among them, 2,4-TDI and 2,6-TDI are the most common, and industrial products are usually a mixture of 2,4-TDI and 2,6-TDI.

3.Application scope and Usage

Used as raw materials for manufacturing polyurethane soft foam plastics, coatings, rubber and adhesives

4.Package and Storage

Common packaging includes 500ml glass bottles, glass bottles with iron caps and sealed necks, or plastic bottles. For large quantities, metal drums (such as galvanized iron drums) or stainless steel tanks are usually used. ‌

It should be stored in a cool and dry place. The recommended temperature range is 20-35℃. Avoid high temperatures as they may cause decomposition.
