Title Diphenylmethane diisocyanate: The concentration of its saturated vapor
Bibliographic information Apr. 1986, Vol.47. No.4, p.225-228. Illus. 7 ref.
Abstract At a 50°C the concentration of the saturated vapour of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) is 1.7±0.2mg/m3. At 25°C, a concentration of 0.09mg/m3 (0.009ppm) can be expected. This is less than 50% of the exposure limit set for MDI in many countries. Application of the equation of the state of an ideal gas gave a vapour pressure of about 5-9x10-6mbar in the 20-25°C range.
