Title Development of a method for monitoring isocyanates
Original title Messa a punto di una metodica per la determinazione degli isocianati [in Italian]
Bibliographic information May-June 1974, Vol.65, No.5-6, p.188-192. Illus. 2 ref.
Abstract Description of a method for determining levels of tolylene diisocyanate (TDI) and diphenyl methane diisocyanate (MDI) in air, based on the Marcali reaction, from which it differs by having better colour stability, and by using a large-scale spectrophotometer-recorder. This method enables TDI and MDI monitoring to be done in laboratories having less sophisticated equipment.
