Hexamethylene Diisocyanate CAS#822-06-0
1. High Boiling Point: Boils between 255-261°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications.
2. Low Water Solubility: Reacts slowly in aqueous solutions, useful for specialized chemical processes.
3. Stable Yet Moisture Sensitive: Stable under controlled conditions, but must be protected from moisture to avoid unwanted reactions.
4. Versatile Industrial Use: Important in coatings, adhesives, and sealants due to its reactivity and stability at high temperatures.
Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) presents as a clear to light yellow liquid characterized by a distinct, pungent odor. This compound exhibits poor water solubility and reacts gradually in aqueous solutions. It possesses a relative density of ~1.05 at ambient temperature, with notable phase transition points: boiling between 255-261°C and freezing/melting at -67 to -55°C. Vapor pressure data shows saturation concentrations of 46 mg/m³ (20°C) and 137 mg/m³ (30°C).
