Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

All substances of the MDI category except the monomeric MDI substances are liquid at room temperature. The kinematic viscosities are broadly consistent due to the presence of a relatively high concentration of mMDI.  All the other substances of the MDI category are liquid at room temperature. The kinematic viscosities are broadly consistent due to the presence of a relatively high concentration of mMDI. A study was performed at Chilworth (2009) however this study should be disregarded. A new study to determine the viscosity of the substance was performed at Dekra (2019). The test is conducted in accordance with ISO 3104:1994 and OECD Test Guideline 114 and gave the following results:


At 20°C (mean of 2 runs) 1354 mm2.s-1; at 40°C (mean of 2 runs) 222.1 mm2.s-1

Key value for chemical safety assessment
