Isophorone Diisocyanate Production Cost Reports

Isophorone Diisocyanate production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Isophorone Diisocyanate production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Isophorone Diisocyanate. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Isophorone Diisocyanate (IPDI) (C12H18N2O2) is a diisocyanate where the two isocyanate groups are linked by an isophorone substituent. It has the same functional role as that of an isophorone. It is a chemical compound of cyanide and an aliphatic diisocyanate. 

IPDI looks like a clear to light-yellow liquid with a pungent odour. It is a little denser than water and insoluble in it. It has a molecular weight of 222.3 g/mol and a density of 1.062 g/cm3 at 20 °C, liquid. Its freezing/melting, boiling, and flash point are -76°F, 316 °F, and 311°F, respectively. It has various benefits such as high selectivity, differently reactive isocyanate groups, low residual monomer content in prepolymers, the low viscosity of prepolymers, a low tendency for crystallization, high glass-transition temperature, high NCO content, excellent toughness and flexibility at low temperatures. It is toxic if inhaled or absorbed by the skin and can cause irritation to the skin.

Isophorone Diisocyanate (IPDI) is primarily used to prepare polyurethane-based films and foams or for various high-performance coating applications. It also offers UV-resistant films as there is an aliphatic ring present. Owing to these properties, it is mainly desirable in exterior paint applied to aircraft. It is used to produce polyurethane coatings.

As a healing agent, it is used to prepare polyurethane microcapsules by interfacial polymerization; as a monomer, it finds use in the synthesis of highly monodispersed polyurea microspheres through precipitation polymerization; and as a starting material, it is employed for the synthesis of bridged silsesquioxane (BSQ) via sol-gel polycondensation with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Also, Aliphatic diisocyanates have applications in certain applications like enamel coatings that have resistance to abrasion and degradation from ultraviolet light.
