Description

Product Overview

WANNATE® 2208 is a dark brown liquid at room temperature, composed of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and higher-functionality isocyanate oligomers.
 

Application Benefits

PMDI is a high-performance chemical compound widely utilized in various industrial applications. Recognized for its versatility, this robust adhesive is ideal for use in the production of rigid and flexible foams, coatings, and sealants. Its unique composition ensures excellent foam fluidity and mechanical strength.
 
We are the largest MDI manufacturer supplier in the world. Annual Production Capacity: 3.5 million tons of Polymetric MDI (Black Polyisocyanate). Ultra-High Purity, Proprietary refining process eliminates impurities. Lighter color compared to other manufacturers’s under APHA Standard. 
The thermal conductivity of the foam after spraying can be as low as 0.020W/(M·K) and the closed-cell rate >95% (ASTM D6226), effectively blocking thermal bridging and moisture penetration.
 
Proven Durability:
30-year track record in polyurethane construction applications, 97.6% of treated roofs remain leak-free, 93% retain >99% original R-value (per ASTM C1303 aging tests).
During the construction process, the foam can adhere to the base layer 100%, with an adhesion strength equivalent to a pulling force of 10-ton/m² tensile strength (EN 1607) , perfectly solving the problem of external wall detachment in buildings.

Storage & Handling

Due to its highly reactive chemical nature, WANNATE® 2208 readily reacts with moisture to form insoluble urea compounds and release carbon dioxide, which may cause drum bulging and increased viscosity. Therefore, containers must be kept strictly dry, tightly sealed, and under a dry nitrogen blanket during storage. If moisture enters the container, avoid airtight sealing. Provide ventilation openings to prevent pressure buildup and rupture.
 
WANNATE® 2208 should be stored in a well-ventilated indoor area at room temperature (20°C–25°C) under airtight conditions. Lower temperatures will increase viscosity, affecting usability. If stored below 5°C, crystallization may occur—frost protection is essential. If crystallization is observed, the material must be heated immediately to redissolve the crystals, ensuring the temperature does not exceed 70°C.
 
Critical Notes:
Avoid localized overheating, as decomposition (with gas release) occurs above 230°C.
Recommended method: Use a hot-air oven with a rotating drum mechanism for uniform heating. After heating, mix the material thoroughly to ensure homogeneity.
During drum rotation, inspect support points to prevent abrasion or collisions that could lead to leaks.
Prolonged storage above 50°C must be avoided, as it may form insoluble solids and further increase viscosity.
 
Shelf Life: 1 year from production date when stored properly.

Physical and Chemical Hazards: Solid, flammable. Vapors/gases are heavier than air. Fire produces toxic fumes. Reacts with water.
Health Hazards:
Inhalation: This substance may cause respiratory irritation in some individuals. The body’s response to this irritation may cause further lung damage. Inhalation of aerosols (mist, fume) of this substance during normal processing may be harmful.
Vapors/mists may severely irritate the respiratory tract and lungs; consequences may be severe enough to cause bronchitis and pulmonary edema. Isocyanate exposure may cause neurological symptoms such as headache, insomnia, euphoria, ataxia, anxiety neurosis, hypotension and paranoia. Gastrointestinal disorders manifest as nausea and vomiting.
Pulmonary allergy may lead to varying degrees of asthma symptoms, from slight shortness of breath to severe allergic reactions; this may occur after a single intense exposure or without warning hours after exposure. Sensitive individuals may react to very low doses and must not work in environments exposed to this substance. Continued exposure may result in long-term respiratory organ damage.
Inhalation hazards increase with rising temperature.
Ingestion: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.
Skin Contact: Skin contact may cause inflammation or allergic reactions in some individuals.
Eyes: Direct eye contact may cause temporary discomfort, lacrimation or conjunctival redness. If splashed in eyes, seek medical advice immediately.
Chronic: Individuals with a history of asthma, other respiratory problems or allergies must be prohibited from engaging in any operations involving isocyanates.
Environmental Hazards: See Section 12.

Note: Diphenylmethane diisocyanate (30%–50%) and polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate (50%–70%) are both part of polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate (9016-87-9).

First-Aid Measures

First Aid:

 

Skin Contact: Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including shoes and socks. Flush skin and hair with running water (soap if available); seek medical advice if irritation occurs.

 
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with water. Seek medical advice if irritation persists. After eye injury, contact lenses may only be removed by specially trained personnel.
 
Inhalation: If inhaled, transport the patient to hospital or seek medical advice immediately.
 
Ingestion: Seek medical advice immediately.
 
Advice for First Responders: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing when entering the accident scene.
 

Special Advice for Doctors:

 

For subchronic and chronic exposure to isocyanates:

 

This substance is a pulmonary sensitizer; bronchospasm may occur even in patients with no history of respiratory allergy.

 

Clinical symptoms after exposure include irritation of respiratory and gastrointestinal mucosa.

 

Conjunctival irritation, dermatitis (redness, blisters with pain) and gastrointestinal disorders occur shortly after exposure.

 

Pulmonary symptoms include cough, burning pain, substernal pain and dyspnea.

 

There is no effective treatment for sensitized workers.

 
 

Fire-Fighting Measures

Special Hazards: Avoid contamination with oxidizing agents, as this may cause ignition.
 
Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide. Water spray or fog only for large fires.
 

Fire Fighting Procedures and Precautions:

 

Inform the fire brigade and advise the location and hazard characteristics of the accident. Wear full protective clothing and breathing apparatus. Take effective measures to prevent spillage from entering sewers or water bodies. Use water spray to control fire and cool adjacent areas. Do not direct water spray directly into the liquid pool.

 
Fire/Explosion Hazards: Flammable. Heating or contact with open flame poses moderate fire risk. When heated to high temperatures, it decomposes rapidly to produce vapors, increasing container pressure and causing rupture. Combustion produces trace amounts of highly toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN), toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide.
 

Accidental Release Measures

Personnel Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: See Section 8.
 
Preventive Measures Against Secondary Disasters: See above sections.
 
Environmental Protection Measures: See Section 12.
 

Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up:

 

Small Spillage: Dispose of waste regularly; abnormal spillage should be cleaned up immediately. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective clothing, gloves and safety goggles.

 
Large Spillage: Notify all personnel in the area. Report to emergency management authorities and advise the location and hazard characteristics of the accident.
 
In All Cases: Flush the area with plenty of water and prevent runoff into water bodies. Report to emergency management authorities if sewers or water bodies are contaminated.
 

Handling and Storage

Handling Precautions:

 

Safe Handling: Wear protective clothing when there is a risk of contact. Use in a well-ventilated area. Prevent accumulation in low-lying areas. Do not enter confined spaces without air testing. Prohibit contact with human body, food or food containers. Avoid contact with incompatible materials. Do not eat, drink or smoke during handling. Keep containers safely sealed when not in use. Protect containers from physical damage. Wash hands with soap and water after handling. Work clothing should be laundered separately. Contaminated clothing must be laundered before reuse. Regularly monitor hazardous substance concentrations in the workplace and comply with relevant standards to ensure workplace safety.

 

Storage Precautions:

 

Storage Incompatibilities: Avoid reaction with water, alcohols, strong bases, metal compounds or detergent solutions. The substance reacts with water to produce large amounts of foam, carbon dioxide and heat. Foaming in confined spaces may cause pressure buildup. Isocyanates may corrode and embrittle certain plastics and rubbers.
