Application

Highly reactive 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) was used to synthesize lactic acid polymers from oligomers by the addition of 2,2′-bis(2-oxazoline) (BOX) as chain extenders. Self-healing ability was rendered to polyurethane elastomer by synthesizing alkoxyamine-based diol and reacting it with tri-functional homopolymer of HMDI and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Plastic optical fiber (POF) was prepared by the bulk homopolymerization of HMDI catalyzed by Tin(II)-2 ethylhexanoate (SnOct).

General description

Hexamethylene diisocyanate is an aliphatic diisocyanate monomer typically used to produce oligomers and prepolymers that when combined with a polyol produce light-stable polyurethane.
