TDI 80/20 – Toluene Diisocyanate
Product Description:
TDI 80/20 is a high-reactivity aromatic isocyanate consisting of 80% 2,4-Toluene Diisocyanate and 20% 2,6-Toluene Diisocyanate. It appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a strong, pungent odor. This product is a key raw material in the manufacture of polyurethane systems, particularly flexible foams and various non-foam applications.
Primary Applications:
TDI 80/20 is commonly used in combination with polyols to produce:
- Flexible polyurethane foams
- High-resilience and high load-bearing foams
- Semi-rigid ester-based foams
- Molded foam products
- Elastomers and synthetic leather materials
End-Use Industries:
This versatile isocyanate is widely utilized across multiple industries, including:
- Mattresses and upholstered furniture
- Footwear and shoe sole manufacturing
- Adhesives, coatings, and curing systems
- Lubricant additives
- Industrial paints and protective coatings for automotive, aerospace, and rail sectors
Safe Handling & Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area in tightly sealed containers
- Keep away from moisture, heat sources, and open flames
- Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and protective clothing
- Open containers carefully to release any built-up internal pressure before full access
