[News & Trends]:The difference between polyether and TDI - a comparison from properties to application fields

Polyether and TDI are two common materials in the chemical industry, which have different properties and application areas. This article will compare the properties, characteristics, and application fields of polyether and TDI to help readers better understand their differences


Polyether and TDI have differences in compound structure. Polyether is a polymer formed by connecting ether groups, with high flexibility and wear resistance. It is commonly used in the manufacturing of elastomers, sealing materials, cable sheaths, etc. TDI is a polyisocyanate compound with high stability and viscosity, which is commonly used to manufacture foam materials, coatings, adhesives, etc


Polyether and TDI also have different physical properties. Polyether has high heat and cold resistance, maintaining stable performance at different temperatures, and is suitable for use over a wide temperature range. TDI has high viscosity and stickiness, and is commonly used to manufacture viscous coatings and adhesives. It has excellent adhesion and flowability during the coating and bonding process


In addition, there are differences in the application fields of polyether and TDI. Polyethers are commonly used in fields such as automotive, construction, and electronics, such as manufacturing automotive sealants, building sealing materials, and protective materials for electronic components. TDI is mainly used in furniture, shoes, car seats and other fields, such as manufacturing foam seats, insoles and fillers


In summary, there are significant differences between polyether and TDI in terms of compound structure, physical properties, and application fields. Understanding these differences helps in selecting suitable materials and achieving optimal performance in specific fields. Whether it is polyether or TDI, relevant safety operating procedures must be followed during use to ensure personal safety and environmental health.
