TL;TR MDI (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate) is the dominant isocyanate for rigid foam, elastomers and structural applications, offering lower vapour pressure and better mechanical performance than TDI. TDI (toluene diisocyanate) remains the standard for flexible slabstock foam. Waterborne polyurethane dispersions (WPU/PUD) replace both in coatings and adhesives when VOC compliance or worker safety constraints apply.
