Description of key information

Additional information

Because of the relatively rapid reaction of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) with hydroxyl radicals in the atmosphere and the rapid hydrolysis in other media, significant concentrations would not be expected to occur in air, water, or sediment and soil, except near potential emission sources of this substance (e.g., industrial waste streams, hazardous waste sites, occupational settings, environmental spills). Small amounts of unreacted hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) may persist in water, or sediment and soil, if encapsulated in water-insoluble polyurea crusts formed during hydrolysis.
