Product Description of Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate CAS#101-68-8
This light yellow molten solid emits a strong, pungent irritating odor; its vapors may cause discomfort and irritation upon inhalation. It dissolves readily in multiple organic solvents including acetone, benzene, kerosene and nitrobenzene, making it suitable for various chemical processes, but shows limited water solubility. Handle with caution due to its volatility and potential health risks from prolonged fume exposure.
