Diisocyanate emission from a paint product: a preliminary analysis.
Applied occupational and environmental hygiene(2010)
摘要
Exposure of workers to diisocyanates in the polyurethane foam manufacturing industry is well documented. However, very little quantitative data have been published on exposure to diisocyanates from the use of paints and coatings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate emission of 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, 2,6-toluene diisocyanate (2,6-TDI), and isophorone diisocyanate from a commercially available two-stage concrete coating and sealant. A laboratory model of an outdoor deck coating process was developed and diisocyanate concentrations determined by derivatization with 1-(2-methoxyphenol)-piperazine and subsequent high performance liquid chromatographic analysis with UV detection. The detection limit for 2,4-toluene diisocyanate and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate urea derivatives was 0.6 microg TDI/gm wet product, and 0.54 microg IPDI/gm wet product for the isophorone diisocyanate urea derivative. No 2,4-toluene diisocyanate or isophorone diisocyanate was detected in the mixed product. A maximum mean 2,6-TDI emission rate of 0.32 microg of 2,6-TDI/gram of wet product applied/hour was observed for the 1-hour sampling time, 0.38 microg of 2,6-TDI/gram of wet product applied/hour was observed for the 5-hour sampling time, and 0.02 micrpg of 2,6-TDI/gram of wet product applied/hour was observed for the 15-hour sampling time. The decrease in rate of 2,6-TDI emission over the 15-hour period indicates that emission of 2,6-TDI is virtually complete after 5 hours. These emission rates should allow industrial hygienists to calculate exposures to isocyanates emitted from at least one curing sealant.
