Toluene di-amine (TDA)

Toluene di-amine (TDA) is a chemical used in the production of polyurethanes, specifically as a precursor in the synthesis of polyols, which are key components in the manufacture of polyurethane foams. polyurethane. TDA is obtained from toluene through a nitration process followed by reduction and purification. TDA-derived polyols are characterised by properties that improve elasticity, strength, and durability of the foams of polyurethanemaking them suitable for a wide range of applications, such as furniture, thermal and acoustic insulation, and automotive components.
