• Synonyms: Octamethylene diisocyanate1,8-Diisocyanatooctane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,8-Octyldiisocyanate (DIDC) is a molecule that has both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. DIDC is a divalent hydrocarbon that can form hydrogen bonds and coordinate covalently with metal ions. The hydroxy group in the molecule reacts with oxygen, forming a hydroxyl group and water vapor. DIDC is used as an organic solvent in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and other industrial applications. It is also used to crosslink polymers such as polyurethanes to give them improved chemical resistance and durability. DIDC is also used for radiation protection by acting as a shield against gamma rays, x-rays, alpha particles, beta particles, or ultraviolet light. DIDC has biological properties when it interacts with DNA. It binds to the allyl carbonate group on the DNA backbone and prevents access of enzymes to DNA bases during replication. This inhibits protein synthesis and cell division, leading to cell
