Isocyanate Blends for Foams & Elastomers

Custom-formulated isocyanate systems combining MDI, TDI, and/or modified prepolymers for specific processing requirements.

​

  • Spray foam B-side formulations (MDI + catalysts + surfactants + blowing agents)

  • High-resilience foam systems (TDI + co-reactants)

  • CASE blends (coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers)

 

Note: Blended systems require technical consultation to match processing equipment and performance targets.

APPLICATIONS:

Suitable for manufacturers in:


​

Rigid Polyurethane Foams:
Spray foam insulation for residential and commercial construction. Continuous and discontinuous insulation panels (PIR/PUR boards). Appliance insulation (refrigerators, freezers, water heaters). Pour-in-place applications.

​

Flexible Foams:
Slabstock foam for furniture, bedding, and carpet underlay. Molded foam for automotive seating and interior components. High-resilience (HR) foam for premium cushioning applications.

​

CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, Elastomers):
Two-component polyurethane coatings for industrial equipment, wood finishing, and protective layers. Construction adhesives and sealants. Transportation adhesives for automotive and aerospace. Cast elastomers for wheels, rollers, and seals.

​

Spray Foam Insulation:
Open-cell and closed-cell spray polyurethane foam systems for thermal insulation and air sealing in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

​

Insulation Panels (PIR/PUR):
Polyisocyanurate and polyurethane rigid boards for roofing, wall systems, and thermal barriers in construction.

​

Automotive Seating & NVH Systems:
Flexible foam for seating, headrests, and armrests. Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) dampening materials. Interior trim components using integral skin foam technology.

​

Footwear Polyurethanes:
MDI and TDI systems for polyurethane shoe soles, midsoles, and comfort footbeds requiring durability and cushioning.

​

Industrial Adhesives & Binders:
Structural adhesives for laminating, bonding, and assembly in manufacturing, construction, and transportation industries.

Benefits:

Reactivity Control:
Isocyanate selection influences cream time, gel time, tack-free time, and cure profiles when formulated with appropriate polyol, catalyst, and surfactant systems. NCO content and functionality determine cross-link density and final foam properties.

​

Bonding Performance:
MDI-based systems provide strong substrate adhesion in spray foam, panel lamination, and adhesive applications when reacted with polyols under specified temperature and humidity conditions.

​

Polyol Compatibility:
Compatible with polyether polyols, polyester polyols, and specialty polyol blends across conventional, high-resilience, and rigid foam formulations.

​

Processing Flexibility:
Available in liquid (modified MDI, TDI) and solid forms (pure MDI) to accommodate different processing equipment including high-pressure spray machines, low-pressure pour systems, and continuous slabstock lines.

​

Mechanical & Physical Properties:
Isocyanate type, index ratio (NCO:OH), and formulation parameters influence final foam density, hardness, tensile strength, elongation, compression set, and dimensional stability.

​

Blowing Agent Compatibility:
Works with physical blowing agents (HFO, HFC, hydrocarbons) and chemical blowing agents (water-CO2 reaction) in rigid and flexible foam systems.

​

Regulatory Compliance:
All IsoCore products include:

  • Certificate of Analysis (COA) with NCO content, acidity, hydrolyzable chloride

  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

  • Technical Data Sheet (TDS)

  • TSCA certification (US EPA)

  • REACH pre-registration documentation (EU)

​

SAFETY & HANDLING:

Important Safety Information:

Isocyanates are reactive chemicals requiring proper handling, storage, and personal protective equipment (PPE).

​

Respiratory Protection: MDI and TDI vapors can cause respiratory sensitization. Use appropriate ventilation and respiratory protection per OSHA standards.

Skin Protection: Avoid skin contact. Use impermeable gloves and protective clothing.

Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas. Protect from moisture.

Moisture Sensitivity: Isocyanates react with water, producing CO2 gas and urea byproducts that affect performance.

​

Consult Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for complete handling, storage, and emergency response information.
