Editing Isocyanate (section)

=== Common applications ===
MDI is commonly used in the manufacture of rigid foams and surface coating.<ref name=Ullmann>{{Ullmann |author=Christian Six |author2=Frank Richter |title=Isocyanates, Organic |year=2005 |doi=10.1002/14356007.a14_611}}</ref> Polyurethane foam boards are used in construction for insulation. TDI is commonly used in applications where flexible foams are used, such as furniture and bedding. Both MDI and TDI are used in the making of adhesives and sealants due to weather-resistant properties. Isocyanates, both MDI and TDI are widely used in as spraying applications of insulation due to the speed and flexibility of applications. Foams can be sprayed into structures and harden in place or retain some flexibility as required by the application.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.epa.gov/saferchoice/chemicals-and-production-spray-polyurethane-foam-why-it-matters |title=Chemicals and Production of Spray Polyurethane Foam – Why It Matters |last=US EPA |first=OCSPP |date=2015-08-14 |website=US EPA |language=en |access-date=2018-12-08}}</ref> HDI is commonly utilized in high-performance surface-coating applications, including automotive paints.
