Product Information

• Name: Methylenedi-p-phenyl diisocyanate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methylenedi-p-phenyl diisocyanate (MDI) is a glycol ether, which is a potent inducer of allergic reactions. It can be found in polyurethane foam insulation and in the production of diphenyl and diisocyanate. MDI has been shown to cause asthma, skin inflammation, and other respiratory problems. MDI is highly toxic to aquatic life and can cause long term effects on fish populations. The toxicity of MDI depends on the concentration and duration of exposure, as well as the species that it is administered to. High concentration exposure for a short period of time will result in death by respiratory failure or cardiac arrest. Longer exposure at lower concentrations may lead to liver, kidney, lung damage or cancerous tumor development.
