Description

 PMDI

Polymeric Methylene diphenyl Di-Isocyanate Crude (Low Functionality)

Product Description

The current manufacturing technology of most isocyanates is based on the phosgenation of primary amines.

Applications:

Polymeric MDI is commonly used to manufacture:

  • Rigid foams- used to produce sandwich panels and polyurethane wood.
  • Flexible foams – used for the fabrication of prepolymers for bedding, furniture, automotive seating, flexible packaging and carpet underlay; this is the largest market application for Polymeric MDI
  • “Foamed-in-place” polyurethane plastics – ranging from soft and sponge-like to hard and porous for use in furniture, packaging, insulation and boat building
  • Polyurethane coatings – used on leather, wire, tank linings and masonry
  • Rigid, “pour-in-place” foams – for use in appliances, and, in smaller amounts, packaging
  • Cast elastomers – for production of articles such as roller blade wheels

Handling and storage conditions

Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in working area. Never use welding/cutting torch near storage containers, even if empty, because even residual product can ignite explosively. Product must be stored at 20°C to 40°C.

Storage stability: The best time is 6 month and it can be extended to 12 month.

Packing details

In 220 lit (250 kg Net.) new steel drum, each 4 drums strapped on a wooden pallet.
