Overview
Cyclohexyl isocyanate is a key intermediate in polyurethane synthesis, produced via the phosgenation of cyclohexylamine. Its molecular formula is C7H11NO with CAS number 109-24-8.
Application
- Polyurethane Foams: Manufacturing rigid and flexible foams for insulation.
- Coatings: Formulating high-performance aliphatic coatings for durability.
- Elastomers: Synthesizing specialized rubber compounds for industrial parts.
Precautions
Strictly store in cool, dry areas away from moisture to prevent hydrolysis. Requires full PPE including respiratory protection due to severe respiratory sensitization risks; not approved for direct clinical use.
