About Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI)
Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) is a highly versatile chemical substance largely used in the manufacture of polyurethanes. It is an organic isocyanate that consists of two phenyl groups connected with a methylene bridge with two isocyanate groups (-NCO) or with corresponding salts. MDI is a key raw material for the synthesis of rigid foams, flexible foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers. The principal application lies in the manufacture of rigid foam insulation for construction, appliances, and piping, because MDI provides excellent thermal insulation. MDI synthesis involves the reaction of aniline with formaldehyde, generally using a catalyst for effect typical of its kind. The compound is said to be highly reactive, especially with the active hydrogen-containing compounds, i.e., alcohols and amines, making them quite useful for carrying out polyurethane chemistry.

Market Leaders and their expansionary development strategies
In October 2023, BASF announced that its Yeosu site in Korea has successfully produced the first biomass balanced (BMB) methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). This milestone development underlines BASF’s commitment to building a more sustainable MDI value chain.
In February2022, Covestro is consistently pursuing its path to a circular economy and is now offering customers a climate neutral1 MDI (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate). It is climate neutral1 from the cradle to the factory gate of Covestro, thanks to the use of alternative raw materials – based on plant waste – that are allocated to the products with the help of certified mass balancing according to ISCC PLUS. The new MDI grades can be used in numerous applications in the construction, cold chain and automotive sectors.
