[News & Trends]:The difference and application between isocyanates and isocyanates

Isocyanates and isocyanates are common substances in the field of chemistry, and they have significant differences in properties and applications. Firstly, let's take a look at their definitions and properties: 


isocyanate, also known as cyanate ester, is an organic compound containing - NCO groups. It has a pungent odor, is volatile, and its molecular structure contains a special N=C=O bond, making it highly active. Isocyanic acid is widely used in the chemical industry and can be used to synthesize polyurethane resins, preservatives, fungicides, etc


Isocyanates are products generated by the reaction of isocyanates and alcohol compounds, and their molecules contain one or more - NCO groups and one or more ester groups. Isocyanates have low volatility and irritating odor, and common isocyanates include TDI, MDI, etc. The main use of isocyanate is to produce polyurethane foam plastics, coatings, adhesives, etc


From the above introduction, it can be seen that there are significant differences in properties and applications between isocyanates and isocyanates. In chemical production, it is necessary to select suitable materials according to specific needs for production and application. I hope the introduction in this article can help everyone have a deeper understanding of isocyanates and isocyanates, and apply them in practical production.
