Raw Material for Methyl Isocyanate Production

According to the Methyl Isocyanate manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Methyl Isocyanate include Methyl Amine-Phosgene.

Manufacturing Process of Methyl Isocyanate

The extensive Methyl Isocyanate production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Methyl Amine and Phosgene: The manufacturing process of Methyl Isocyanate involves a reaction between methyl amine and phosgene. In this process, methyl amine reacts with phosgene, forming Methyl Isocyanate as the final product, along with hydrochloric acid as a byproduct.

Methyl Isocyanate is a colorless, flammable compound with a chemical formula C2H3NO and a molecular weight of 57.05 g/mol. It is a volatile liquid with a melting and boiling point measuring approximately at -45°C and 39°C, respectively. Its flash point and autoignition temperature are measured at -7 °C and 534 °C, respectively. It rapidly reacts when combined with water, resulting in an exothermic reaction.

It is toxic and corrosive in nature, with a density of around 0.923 g/cm³. It diffuses through polyethylene and can corrode elastomers. It is a hazardous fluid that can also corrode a variety of metals, including nickel, stainless steel, ceramics, etc. It decomposes on heating and when reacted with acids and basic compounds. It goes through decomposition while emitting toxic fumes of hydrogen cyanide, oxides of nitrogen, and carbon monoxide in the air.
