Lack of mutagenic activity of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate.

Abstract excerpt

1,6-Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) is an aliphatic diisocyanate used in the manufacture of higher molecular weight biuret and trimer polyisocyanate resins. These resins are commonly used in polyurethane paints, resulting in potential occupational, and to a lesser extent consumer exposures. Because some isocyanates have been reported to be mutagenic, HDI was tested in the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames...
