Todi

A versatile additive for improving mechanical and chemical properties

Urethane elastomers have various advantages when compared with rubber, plastic and metal. This is especially true in regard to the urethane elastomers made using our product Tolidine diisocyanate (TODI). TODI-based elastomers offer excellent heat and hydrolysis resistance, along with superior mechanical properties.

Concerning the manufacturing point of view, due to its longer pot life, TODI-based prepolymer is easier to handle in comparison to NDI-based products.
