General description

Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) is an aliphatic diisocyanate monomer belonging to the class of isocyanates. It is primarily used in the production of polyurethanes. The isocyanate functional groups in hexamethylene diisocyanate react readily with polyols to form polyurethane polymers. Polyurethanes derived from HDI are commonly used in various products, including coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, foams, thin-film transistors, flexible or rigid plastics, biomedical applications, electronics and aerospace industries. It is also used to produce oligomers and prepolymers that when combined with a polyol produce light-stable polyurethane.

Application

Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) is used as:
  • A crosslinker to crosslink the polyurethane chains in the triblock copolymer gate dielectric, which is then deposited on the substrate to fabricate low-voltage organic thin-film transistors.
  • A precursor in the preparation of electroactive shape memory polyurethane/graphene nanocomposites. These materials are usually used as actuators, sensors, artificial muscles, smart devices, and microswitches.
  • A crosslinker in conjunction with Pluronic F127, a nonionic surfactant, to synthesize a poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-based hydrogel for biomedical applications.
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).

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
