Isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) is a chemical compound used primarily in the production of polyurethane materials. It is a colorless liquid with a faint odor and is known for its high reactivity, making it suitable for various applications, including coatings, adhesives, and elastomers. IPDI is valued for its ability to enhance the durability and flexibility of products. It is often used in combination with other compounds to create high-performance materials that can withstand harsh environmental conditions. Safety precautions are essential when handling IPDI due to its potential health hazards.
