highly reactive compounds used in polyurethane foam production and for a variety of rubber, upholstery and coating purposes.Toluene diisocyanate is one of the most commonly used isocyanate. Methyl isocyanate was responsible for the death and injury of thousands in India.
A highly reactive organic chemical containing one or more Isocyanate groups. A basic component in Sprayed Polyurethane Foam systems and some polyurethane coating systems.
F a group of substances which are especially used as hardeners in polyruethane. People may be exposed to isocyanates through work with e.g. paints, glues, enamels and fillers which are polyurethane based.
One of a group of neutral derivatives of primary amines (R-N=C=O) groups. An essential component (A) of spray foam chemistry.
Additive that is part of many paint and plastic hardeners. Has been found to be injurious to the lungs.
A shorthand name for the family of diisocyanates which are one of the two major ingredients in the chemical process by which polyurethane foam is made.
A hardening agent used with acrylic urethane and other 2-component reaction type paints. It reacts with acrylic polymer, etc., to form a very durable coating.
A compound containing the isocyanate group, -N=C=O, attached to an organic radical or hydrogen.
Any of a group of compounds containing the -NCO radical, used especially in producing polyurethanes. Isocyanates are toxic and can cause shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, as well as asthma and neurological problems.
A quick way to refer to the group of diisocyanates that are one of the two primary ingredients in the chemical process from which polyurethane foam is produced.
A compound containing the functional group -N=C=O. Isocyanates are crosslinked with hydroxyls to form polyurethanes.
A substance used in the plastics industry, insulation , automobile paint and other industries, which can cause occupational asthma.
Additive that is part of many paint hardeders. Has been found to be injurious to the lungs. Basically stands for Isolated Cyanide. Poison. :eek Spray with a mask
Isocyanate is the functional group of atoms –N=C=O (1 nitrogen, 1 carbon, 1 oxygen), not to be confused with the cyanate functional group which is arranged as –O–C≡N. Any organic compound which contains an isocyanate group may also be referred to in brief as an isocyanate. An isocyanate may have more than one isocyanate group.
