Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate

Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, or MDI, is a very widely used industrial chemical. It is primarily utilized in the manufacturing of a type of special foam known as polyurethane foam. This type of foam can be used in many consumer products you find and use daily. Knowing what MDI is and how it works is vital in order to enable it to be handled safely and appropriately in a variety of various uses. 

MDI is a chemical, not one molecule but two different chemicals combined. They are referred to as diphenylmethane diisocyanate and polymeric MDI. When you combine the two chemicals together, what you have is MDI a clear and colorless liquid. Not because not this liquid very useful in the purpose of making polyurethane foam. Polyurethane foam is a unique type of foam used in millions of different products like sofas and armchairs, mattresses, and even car parts.

The role of MDI in the production of polyurethane foam

SANYING silicone polyether is an essential raw material in the preparation of the polyurethane foam. MDI, mixed with other chemicals, such as polyols and catalysts, reacts and produces foam. This foam is not your average foam; it is robust, flexible and weight-saving. The foam can therefore be easily shaped and molded into many different forms. Consequently, it can be found in a diverse array of products — from plush mattresses to the hard components of cars. With no MDI present, it will be extremely difficult to produce good quality Polyurethane foam to fulfil the requirements of many industries.
