Overview
Butyl isocyanate (BIC) is a reactive intermediate primarily synthesized via the reaction of butylamine with phosgene. Its molecular formula is C5H9NO with CAS No. 2608-47-1. This compound serves as a critical building block in polymer chemistry.
Application
- Polyurethane foam production for insulation and coatings.
- Synthesis of high-performance polyurea elastomers.
- Manufacturing of specialized adhesives and sealants.
Precautions
Strictly store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from moisture and amines. Personal protective equipment including respirators and chemical-resistant gloves is mandatory due to severe respiratory sensitization risks.
