Polyurethane (or polyisocyanate) resins are produced by the reaction of a diisocyanate with a compound containing at least two active hydrogen atoms, such as diol or diamine. Toluene diisocyanate (TDI), diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) are frequently employed. They are prepared by the reaction of phosgene with the corresponding diamines ... 8, record 1, English, - 1%2C1%26rsquo%3B%2Dmethylenebis%284%2Disocyanatobenzene%29
