Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) is an aromatic diisocyanate. Three isomers are common, varying by the positions of the isocyanate groups around the rings: 2,2′-MDI, 2,4′-MDI, and 4,4′-MDI. The 4,4′ isomer is most widely used, and is also known as 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate. [3] This isomer is also known as Pure MDI.
Hydrogenated MDI (H 12 MDI or 4,4′-diisocyanato dicyclohexylmethane) is an organic compound in the class known as isocyanates. [1] More specifically, it is an aliphatic diisocyanate. It is a water white liquid at room temperature and is manufactured in relatively small quantities.
MDA is a common monomer in the synthesis of polymer materials. These include polyamides, [4] polyimides and polyimines. [5] MDA is also used extensively as a precursor to methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). Here, MDA is treated with phosgene to produce MDI. MDI, in turn, is a precursor to many polyurethane foams.
The global market for diisocyanates in the year 2000 was 4.4 million tonnes, of which 61.3% was methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), 34.1% was toluene diisocyanate (TDI), 3.4% was the total for hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), and 1.2% was the total for various others.

A diisocyanate, often 4,4’-methylenediphenyldiisocyanate (MDI), is reacted with trimellitic anhydride (TMA). The product achieved at the end of this process is a high molecular weight, fully imidized polymer solution with no condensation byproducts, since the carbon dioxide gas byproduct is easily removed.

A fatal virus has been discovered in shrews in Alabama, sparking concerns about potential contagion to humans. The Camp Hill virus was discovered by researchers at The University of Queensland.
4,4'-Diaminodicyclohexylmethane is the name for organic compounds with the formula CH 2 (C 6 H 10 NH 2) 2. It is classified as a diamine. In the epoxy industry it is often referred to as PACM, short for para-diaminodicyclohexylmethane. It is used as a curing agent for epoxy resins [1] It finds particular use in epoxy flooring. [2]
