Catalog Number
ACMA00017202
Product Name
Toluene-2,4-Diisocyanate
Description
Toluene-2,4-diisocyanate appears as colorless to yellow or dark liquid or solid with a sweet, fruity, pungent odor. Melting point 68°F (20° C). Evolves CO2 when moist. This can cause over-pressurization in an enclosed space.Toxic and carcinogenic. Used in polyurethane foams, coatings in floor and wood finishes, sealers, paints, concrete sealers for aircraft and tank trucks, elastomers in clay pipe seals, elastomers and coatings, and crosslinking agent for nylon. Rate of onset: Immediate Persistence: Hours - weeks Odor threshold: 0.4 - 2 ppm Source/use/other hazard: Polyurethane (wood coatings, foam), nylon industries; skin irritant.;Liquid;Liquid;COLOURLESS-TO-PALE YELLOW LIQUID OR CRYSTALS WITH PUNGENT ODOUR. TURNS PALE YELLOW ON EXPOSURE TO AIR.;Colorless to pale-yellow solid or liquid (above 71°F) with a sharp, pungent odor.;Colorless to pale-yellow solid or liquid (above 71°F) with a sharp, pungent odor.
