Isocyanate Monomers — covers both aromatic and aliphatic monomeric diisocyanates, which serve as the basic reactive units in forming urethane and urea bonds through reaction with hydroxyl or amine groups. Variations in chain structure and in the position of isocyanate groups affect the stiffness and mechanical properties of the resulting polymer.
Isocyanate Monomers are used in the synthesis of polyurethane resins, elastomers, adhesives, and protective coatings through step-growth polymerization with polyols or polyamines. Polymer researchers also use them as crosslinkers to control network density and the thermomechanical properties of the final product, including in foam and functional coating applications.
Example products in this collection: TCI X0022 3634-83-1 m-Xylylene Diisocyanate, TCI D0897 101-68-8 Methylenediphenyl 4,4'-Diisocyanate, TCI B1538 38661-72-2 1,3-Bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane (cis- and trans- mixture), TCI D2051 91-97-4 4,4'-Diisocyanato-3,3'-dimethylbiphenyl, TCI B1509 10224-18-7 2,2-Bis(4-isocyanatophenyl)hexafluoropropane, TCI D2380 5124-30-1 Dicyclohexylmethane 4,4'-Diisocyanate (mixture of isomers), TCI B1442 2778-42-9 1,3-Bis(2-isocyanato-2-propyl)benzene, TCI D5635 2556-36-7 1,4-Diisocyanatocyclohexane (cis- and trans- mixture).
Consider the isomer ratio (for example cis-trans mixtures or 2,4-/2,6- isomers) because it affects reactivity and the properties of the final product. Also choose an aromatic or aliphatic type according to the required UV resistance and to storage conditions that are free from moisture. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
