When heated to decomposition it emits
toxic fumes of NOx. See also CYANATES. | [Hazardous Substances Data]
91-08-7(Hazardous Substances Data) |
| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
Liquid. Used in the manufacture of polyurethane foams, elastomers, and coatings; crosslinking agent for nylon 6. | [Reactivity Profile]
TOLUENE-2,6-DIISOCYANATE reacts violently with amines, alcohols, bases and warm water, causing fire and explosion hazards. [Handling Chemcials Safely 1980. p. 907]. Reaction with water to form Carbon Dioxide [Merck 11th ed. 1989]. | [Health Hazard]
Classified as slightly toxic orally. Probable oral lethal dose in humans is 5 to 15 g/kg or between 1 pint and 1 quart for a 70 (l50 lb.) person. Particularly poisonous when breathed. This is among the most poisonous of isocyanates. Acute and chronic exposures to low concentrations may produce asthmatic attacks. | [Fire Hazard]
When heated to decomposition, TOLUENE-2,6-DIISOCYANATE emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides. Ventilation should be adequate. If polyurethane products are heated, protection against isocyanate release is necessary. Avoid decomposing heat. | [Chemical Properties]
colourless liquid | [Uses]
2,6-TDI may be used as a reference standard for the quantification of residual 2,6-TDI in foam samples using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to coordination-ionspray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-CIS-MS/MS). | [Uses]
2-Methyl-m-phenylene Diisocyanate is used in method for preparing breathable sweat-absorbing EVA foam shoe material. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A toluene meta-diisocyanate in which the isocyanato groups are at positions 2 and 6 relative to the methyl group on the benzene ring. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 60, p. 257, 1995 DOI: 10.1021/jo00106a044 | [Flammability and Explosibility]
Nonflammable | [Purification Methods]
It is purified by fractional distillation in a vacuum. Store it under N2 in sealed dark ampoules as it is water and light sensitive. Like the preceding 2,4-isomer, it has a sharp pungent odour, is TOXIC and is IRRITATING TO THE EYES. [Beilstein 13 IV 259.] |
