MDI vs TDI Selection Guide
Choosing the right isocyanate type is crucial for product performance. This article compares the chemical properties, applications, and cost factors of MDI and TDI.
Chemical Structure Differences
MDI has higher molecular weight and lower vapor pressure, offering better handling safety than TDI. TDI has higher reactivity, suitable for fast-curing processes.
Application Comparison
MDI is widely used in rigid foam insulation boards, spray foam and adhesives; TDI is mainly applied in flexible furniture foam and automotive seating.
