ADIs are typically not sold directly for consumer use. Rather, they are sold primarily to industrial customers who use them to make resins used in textiles , paint, binders or hardeners during manufacturing processes. This website focuses on the three primary aliphatic diisocyanates used in PU production: Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) Methylene dicyclohexyl diisocyanate or hydrogenated MDI (HMDI) Isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) Aliphatic diisocyanates primarily are used in paint and surface coatings such as automotive and truck refinishing , as well as industrial , maintenance and performance coatings. For example, durable coatings made with ADI can protect military, commercial and passenger planes from UV damage. They are often used to make coatings needed to combat harsh conditions, such as in military, marine or infrastructure applications (i.e. bridges). They are part of the diisocyanates (DII) family of chemicals, which have been used since the late 1940s. Diisocyanates are divided into two types: aliphatic diisocyanates and aromatic diisocyanates . Many of the products we rely upon every day are safer and more comfortable through the use of polyurethanes made possible by diisocyanates.

Guidance for Working with Aliphatic Diisocyanates This document provides information about important health and safety considerations when working with ADIs. Benefits and Uses of Aliphatic Diisocyanates Aliphatic diisocyanates are building blocks for color-stable polyurethane coatings, paints, elastomers and thermoplastics. Infographic on Declining Asthma Cases Decrease in diisocyanate-related occupational asthma aided by enhanced industry stewardship. Safety Guidance Document: Working with Aliphatic Diisocyanates This guidance document provides information about important health and safety considerations when working with aliphatic diisocyanates. Benefits Infographic: Benefits and Uses of Aliphatic Diisocyanates Aliphatic diisocyanates can make products more durable, improve their appearance and lengthen their lifespan. Health Infographic: Decrease in Diisocyanate-Related Occupational Asthma Product stewardship activities have contributed to a reduction in diisocyanate-related asthma cases, even as production rates of diisocyanates have increased.
