	U.S. Patent: 5104904 - Use of aromatic petroleum oils as surfactant for polyurethane foams - April 14, 1992
		A process for reducing the crystallization temperature of a diisocyanate by forming a mixture consisting of a toluene diisocyanate or a diphenylmethane diisocyanate and about 3-8% by weight of a hydrocarbon oil having an aromaticity of at least 85% and a boiling point of about 281.degree.
		The toluene diisocyanate used in flexible, open cell foams is typically an 80/20 mixture of the 2,4- and 2,6-isomers.
		Diphenylmethane diisocyanates are also referred to as polymethylene polyphenylisocyanates depending upon the manufacturer.

	Low temperature storage stable liquid diphenylmethane diisocyanates - Patent 4332742
		However, diisocyanates which are liquid at room temperature and which are used on a large technical scale, such as toluene diisocyanate or hexamethylene diisocyanate, are as a rule physiologically harmful due to their high vapor pressure and, therefore, can only be used if certain safety precautions are taken.
		For this reason, various attempts have been made, either to start with diisocyanates that are normally liquid at room temperature and to reduce their physiological effects by certain procedures or to start with diisocyanates that are solid at room temperature and to convert these into liquid form.
		The diphenylmethane diisocyanates usable according to the present invention generally contain the 4,4'-isomer, the 2,4'-isomer and/or the 2,2'-isomer and may contain small amounts of higher oligomers of diphenylmethane diisocyanate.

	Toluene diisocyanate (UK PID)
		1.12 Toxicokinetics 1.12.1 Absorption Absorption of toluene diisocyanates through the respiratory tract is suggested by their high acute toxicity for animals via inhalation and reports of systemic effects and antibody formation in individuals exposed to toluene diisocyanates primarily via inhalation (Sharonova and Kryzahanovskaya, 1976; Steinmetz et al, 1976; White et al, 1980).
		As far as the general population is concerned, intake of toluene diisocyanates, apart from their use in the form of polyurethane lacquers and paints, is of a very low order, because of the short persistence of TDI.
		However, when toluene diisocyanates come into contact with water without agitation, as in spills, a hard crystalline crust of polymeric ureas forms slowing down further degradation of the toluene diisocyanates, unless the crust is mechanically broken.

	Study of the products emitted in the heating of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI)
		Isocyanates, which are used in many industrial processes, are known as being respiratory irritants and sensitizers, with asthma being one of the most serious manifestations.
		For several years now, the method of diagnosing occupational asthma caused by diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) consists of exposing workers to this substance in the laboratory in solid form, which is heated.
		The aim of this study is to verify whether MDI is then effectively present and to determine the other compounds generated in order to establish objectively and ultimately the products responsible for this asthma.

	EPA: Federal Register: Polymeric Diphenylmethane Diisocyanate; Toxic Chemical Release Reporting; Community Right-to-Know
		Polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (PMDI) is a diisocyanate chemical reportable under the diisocyanates category which was added to the EPCRA section 313 list of toxic chemicals on November 30, 1994 (59 FR 61432) (FRL-4922-2).
		In one study (Ref. 15), subjects exposed to a prepolymer of toluene diisocyanate (TDI) in wood varnish exhibited an asthmatic reaction, but exposure to monomeric TDI did not elicit the same response.
		Based on a review of the available data on PMDI and other diisocyanates, EPA has determined that there is sufficient evidence to reasonably anticipate that the higher molecular weight oligomers of PMDI can cause chronic pulmonary toxicity.
