Diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate (MDI) is an organic compound that belongs to the isocyanate family, characterized by the presence of two isocyanate functional groups attached to a diphenylmethane structure. It is primarily used in the production of polyurethanes, which are versatile materials employed in various applications such as foams, coatings, adhesives, and elastomers. MDI is known for its excellent mechanical properties and durability, making it valuable in industries like construction, automotive, and furniture manufacturing. However, it is also a hazardous substance that requires careful handling due to its potential health risks.
Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, often abbreviated as MDI, is known as an aromatic diisocyanate.

It is pronounced as "dye-uh-so-sigh-uhn-ate."
Most foam is made from polyurethane.They start by making polyurethane. To make it, you mix a polyol with a diisocyanate. There are many polyols. There are two important isocyanates, toluene diisocyanate and methylene diisocyanate. (Two other diisocyanates are used to make urethane paint.) The choice of polyol governs whether the foam is hard or soft, and how soft or hard it is.Next, you mix in a blowing agent. The first blowing agent was water, which forms CO2 in contact with diisocyanate. They don't like making insulating foam with water, because the foam doesn't insulate as well.

Yes. Two isomers of toluene are known as toluene-2,4-diisocyanate and toluene-2,6-diisocyanate
Spandex polymers are composed of three different monomers. Dialcohol monomers make up the rubbery, soft part of the polymer while diamine and diisocyanate monomers make up the rigid, hard part of the polymer. The three monomers of spandex therefore are dialcohol, diamine and diisocyanate.
The name apparently comes from "dimer" and "-yl" as in 'alkyl' or 'aryl,' common classes of organic radical functional groups. According to specification, 'dimeryl' is a hydrocarbon with 36 carbon atoms and two radicals. In dimeryl diisocyanate (DDI), isocyanate groups are attached to both functional points of the dimeryl biradical. There is apparently no such thing as "merylic acid".
All polyurethane contains two chemicals: a diol and a diisocyanate. (There's also a catalyst called DABCO and a few other items in there to modify the finished polymer, but for now let's stick with the two important ones.) A two-component polyurethane brings you the diol and the diisocyanate as two separate packages. There are a couple of two-component systems available to someone who doesn't own a plastics plant: car paint, where you put hardener in the paint to make it dry, and sprayed foam insulation. The way most of us get our polyurethane is as single-component systems, because diisocyanate is very poisonous. Polyurethane varnish, Gorilla Glue, and polyurethane construction adhesive all work the same way: the diisocyanate is missing parts. If you add water to it--whether through the air or by moistening the surface--the diisocyanate picks up what it needs and the urethane reaction commences.
