TDI 80/20 – Toluene Diisocyanate

TDI 80/20 is a liquid aromatic isocyanate composed of 80% 2,4-Toluene Diisocyanate and 20% 2,6-Toluene Diisocyanate. It appears as a clear to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor and is known for its high reactivity. TDI 80/20 is a key raw material in the formulation of flexible polyurethane foams and non-foam urethane systems.

Primary Applications:
  • Flexible polyurethane foams
  • High-resilience and high-load foams
  • Semi-rigid ester-based foams
  • Molding foams
  • Elastomers and synthetic leather
End-Use Industries:
  • TDI 80/20 plays an important role in the production of:
  • Mattresses and upholstered furniture
  • Footwear and shoe soles
  • Adhesives, coatings, and hardeners
  • Lubricant additives
  • Industrial paints and protective coatings used in automotive, aerospace, and rail applications
Safe Handling & Storage:
  • Store in a dry and ventilated location that is safe from fire in a strongly sealed container
  • Avoid contact with moisture, heat sources, or open flames
  • Use safety equipment like eye protection, gloves, and aprons
  • Open containers carefully, allowing internal pressure to stabilize before fully opening
Emergency Measures:
  • Inhalation: Move the affected person to fresh air and seek medical attention; oxygen may be required
  • Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothes and wash skin with soap and water
  • Eye Contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with clean water for at least 15 minutes
  • Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; drink water and get immediate medical help
