This article explains the calculation of TDI (Toluene Diisocyanate) consumption in formulations, detailing the formulas and steps needed to determine the exact amount required for different polyol polymers and their reactive components.

What is Isocyanate?

PU binder

Isocyanates, crucial in polyurethane production, include TDI variants (2,4-TDI, 2,6-TDI). TDI-100 suits castable polyurethane, T-80 is widely used, and T-65 is for high-rebound foams. Reactivity varies due to molecular structures. TDI is a transparent liquid with a coloration tendency, distinctive odor, and solidification point influenced by composition.
