Description

Dodecyl Isocyanate is a versatile, long-chain aliphatic isocyanate monomer. This compound is a critical building block in the synthesis of high-performance polymers, valued for its ability to impart hydrophobicity, flexibility, and chemical resistance to final materials. It is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop durable, tailored polyurethane and polyurea products.

Application

• Polyurethane Synthesis: A key monomer for producing flexible and hydrophobic polyurethane foams, elastomers, and coatings.
• Surface Coatings & Paints: Used to formulate high-performance, weather-resistant industrial and marine coatings with excellent adhesion and durability.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Imparts flexibility and moisture resistance in the production of specialized adhesives and sealants.
• Polyurea Elastomers: Serves as a reactant for creating fast-curing, chemically resistant polyurea linings and spray-applied elastomers.
• Chemical Intermediate: Acts as a precursor for synthesizing various surfactants, lubricant additives, and agrochemicals.
• Hydrophobic Modifications: Used to modify polymers, resins, or surfaces to enhance their water-repellent properties.

Quality Control

Our Dodecyl Isocyanate is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We adhere to relevant industry standards, and comprehensive quality testing is performed, including assay, purity, and impurity profile analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent polymerization or reaction with atmospheric moisture. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C.
