Beschreibung
Methylenediphenyl diisocyanate[MDI] and toluene diisocyanate [TDI] are chemicals produced at a total rate of about four million tonnes per annum. They are reactive intermediates employed in the production of polyurethanes and other polymers which are used in a wide diversity of applications involving many thousands of workers worldwide.
The safe handling of MDI and TDI requires close attention to working practices in their transportation, storage, use and disposal. This book focuses on handling aspects, but also includes reviews of medical and environmental issues. There is detailed information on the properties, occupational and release limits and nomenclature of MDI and TDI, and on their analysis.
Gilbert International Ltd operates the Scientific Office of the International Isocyanate Institute. The Institute is wholly dedicated to safety, health and environmental issues related to MDI and TDI. The role of the editors in the institute has enabled them to draw upon contributions from over 30 international experts.
MDI and TDI are polymer building blocks with a wide range of applications in industry.
Both are used in large quantities and can be found in a wide variety of industries and applications. As their use will often involve large numbers of workers they are also subject to stringent health and safety regulations.
This book covers all the important topics concerning MDI and TDI and provides comprehensive coverage on the health and environmental science associated with these.
Considering the risk management of both substances this is the first book to offer comprehensive discussion of health and environmental issues and includes
* insights from academic, regulatory, and industrial experts
* numerous photographs, spectra, tables, and graphs
* additional information on physical properties and analysis
* Considers the risk management of these two diisocyanates
Addressing their use throughout industry this title presents an essential source of information for occupational physicians, industrial hygiene professionals, polyurethane producers, environmental scientists, chemical analysts and regulators.
