Understanding Diisocyanates and Their Risks
Diisocyanates, such as MDI (Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate), TDI (Toluene Diisocyanate), HDI (Hexamethylene Diisocyanate), and IPDI (Isophorone Diisocyanate), are widely used in the polymer and automotive industries. Their highly reactive nature makes them effective catalysts in producing polymers, rubber, and automotive paints. However, exposure to diisocyanates poses significant health risks, including:
- Skin irritation, rashes, and redness
- Allergic reactions and asthma
- Regulatory limits as low as 5 ppb TWA (Ontario Regulation 490/09, 2013)

Advanced Testing Process
Using the OSHA 47 method, you collect air samples on glass fibre filters spiked with 1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine. This derivatizer reacts with airborne diisocyanates, forming stable compounds for analysis. Our high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis delivers accurate and reliable results, ensuring your workplace complies with regulatory standards.
Streamlined Sampling Process
- Receive fully calibrated and charged sampling equipment from LCS Laboratory.
- Use open-face cassettes to collect air samples, capturing vapours and mist effectively.
- Analyse collected samples in our laboratory, with results reported in full compliance with industry standards.
