China, the United States, and Germany are the leading exporters of Toluene diisocyanate, collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in 2023–2024, while China, South Korea, and Mexico are the top importers, driven by regional polyurethane manufacturing demand. Import volumes into Southeast Asia and India have risen steadily since 2022, coinciding with moderate upward pressure on Toluene diisocyanate prices amid tightening supply from key European producers.
Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is a colorless to pale-yellow, volatile liquid with a sharp, pungent odor; it has a boiling point of approximately 251 °C and a melting point near 0–4 °C. It is an aromatic organic compound classified as a diisocyanate and serves primarily as a reactive chemical intermediate. TDI is predominantly used in the production of flexible polyurethane foams for applications including bedding, furniture, automotive seating, and carpet underlay. It is also employed in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers where rapid cure and tailored mechanical properties are required.
