Toluene Di-isocyanate (TDI) is a highly reactive aromatic di-isocyanate widely used as a key raw material in the production of polyurethane foams. It plays a critical role in manufacturing flexible polyurethane foams for applications such as furniture, bedding, automotive seating, insulation, and packaging materials.
TDI is valued for its excellent reactivity, elasticity contribution, and cost efficiency, making it a preferred choice in high-volume industrial polyurethane applications. It reacts readily with polyols to form polyurethane polymers with desirable softness, resilience, and durability.
Due to its reactive nature, TDI must be handled with strict adherence to safety, storage, and transportation regulations. Proper protective equipment and controlled environments are essential to ensure safe usage in industrial settings.
