Toluene Diisocyanate
Toluene Diisocyanate (TDI) is a chemical compound commonly used in the production of flexible polyurethane foams. It is primarily utilized in the manufacturing of products like mattresses, cushions, and automotive interiors. TDI is known for its ability to enhance the durability and comfort of these materials.
TDI is produced through the reaction of toluene with phosgene, resulting in a compound that can exist in two isomeric forms. Due to its reactive nature, TDI can pose health risks if proper safety measures are not followed during handling and use. It is important to use protective equipment to minimize exposure.
