China and the United States are the leading exporters of toluylene diisocyanate, accounting for the largest shares of global shipments, while Germany, South Korea, and Mexico serve as top importers—reflecting strong demand from polyurethane manufacturing hubs in Europe and North America. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable over the past two years, with modest upward pressure on toluylene diisocyanate prices linked to feedstock cost fluctuations and regional supply constraints.
Toluylene diisocyanate (TDI) is a colorless to pale yellow, viscous liquid with a sharp, pungent odor and moderate volatility; it typically melts near 0–5 °C and boils at approximately 250–260 °C under reduced pressure. It is an aromatic diisocyanate and a key organic chemical intermediate. TDI is primarily used in the production of flexible polyurethane foams for bedding, furniture, and automotive seating, as well as in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers. Its reactivity with polyols makes it a critical monomer in polyurethane polymer synthesis across industrial, construction, and transportation sectors.
