Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

The concentration of the test substance in the acetonitrile solution without addition of water was stable over the measurement time (at least 6 hours) at room temperature.

Executive summary:

The concentration of the test substance in the acetonitrile solution without addition of water was stable over at least 2 hours at room temperature (Bayer AG, 1999).

Description of key information

In protic solvents like alcohols, isocyanates react rapidly. Stablility is expected with non-protic solvents like toluene, acetone, dioxane etc. Isocyanates form urethanes in alcohol. The concentration of 4,4’-methylenedicyclohexyl diisocyanate in an acetonitrile solution without addition of water was stable over at least 6 hours at room temperature.
