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 HDI Uretdionein an acetonitrile solution without addition of water was stable within 26 hours.
