Overview
Cyclohexyl isocyanate is a vital organic intermediate primarily used in polyurethane synthesis. Produced via the phosgenation of cyclohexylamine, its molecular formula is C7H11NO with CAS No. 109-20-8.
Application
- Polyurethanes: Manufacturing flexible foams and rigid coatings.
- Elastomers: Synthesis of high-performance thermoplastic polyurethanes.
- Adhesives: Component in moisture-curing sealants and structural glues.
Precautions
Strictly avoid inhalation due to severe respiratory sensitization risks. Store in cool, dry conditions away from moisture to prevent hydrolysis. Personnel must utilize full respiratory protection and chemical-resistant gloves during handling.
