Dodecyl Isocyanate with CAS 4202-38-4

Dodecyl Isocyanate Applications

1. Polyurethane & Polymer Synthesis

Dodecyl Isocyanate is widely used in polyurethane chemistry to produce flexible, hydrophobic, and durable polymers. Its long alkyl chain improves elasticity, water resistance, and chemical stability, making it ideal for coatings, elastomers, sealants, and specialty plastics.

2. Surfactants & Functional Additives

It serves as a reactive intermediate in surfactant synthesis, helping create hydrophobic or amphiphilic molecules for detergents, emulsifiers, and dispersants. Dodecyl Isocyanate imparts surface activity, stability, and functional performance to end products.

3. Coatings, Adhesives & Sealants

In coatings and adhesives, Dodecyl Isocyanate is used to modify resins, polyurethanes, and epoxy systems, enhancing water repellency, adhesion, and flexibility. It is particularly suitable for industrial coatings, automotive sealants, and protective films.

4. Chemical Intermediates

Dodecyl Isocyanate is a versatile chemical intermediate for specialty synthesis, organic reactions. It can react with alcohols, amines, or thiols to produce urethanes, ureas, and other derivatives used in pharmaceuticals, advanced materials, and specialty chemicals.
