Homonym: TDI (Turbo)
TDI, or Toluene Diisocyanate, is a chemical compound primarily used in the production of flexible polyurethane foams. These foams are commonly found in products like mattresses, cushions, and automotive interiors. TDI is valued for its ability to create durable and comfortable materials.
In addition to foams, TDI is also used in coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Due to its reactive nature, it can pose health risks if not handled properly, making safety precautions essential during its use and production. Proper ventilation and protective equipment are important to minimize exposure to TDI fumes.
