Isomer Sensors for MDI / TDI
MDI-based products are being used all over the world to help produce superior thermoplastics,
flexible foam, automotive products, adhesives, coatings, elastomers footwear and so on.
Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate MDI-based products are integral to numerous industries worldwide. They are used to manufacture high-performance thermoplastics, flexible foams for furniture and bedding, durable automotive components, industrial adhesives and sealants, protective coatings, and resilient elastomers for footwear and machinery.
MDI exists in three isomers, 2,2′-MDI, 2,4′-MDI, and 4,4′-MDI. MDI can be made to chemically react with polyols to produce polyurethane.
The adaptability of MDI allows manufacturers to fine-tune mechanical properties such as flexibility, strength, and thermal resistance, making it a preferred material in demanding applications.
MDI’s chemical name is Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate and is produced by larger companies such as Dow Chemical, BASF and many others who are all part of the Isocyanate Institute promoting safety in the MDI and TDI (Toluene diisocyanate) workplace and surroundings.
EESIFLO has successfully developed an installed a working product that can identify the difference between polymers by measuring the dielectric constant. This was made possible by cooperating with operators in the chemical industry. These units have been installed and operating for several years.
