Aliphatic diisocyanates can have strong, adverse skin irritation effects and two are well known for this problem, namely dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (H12MDI) (Desmodur W by Bayer) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). Usually care in handling and good hygiene prevents undue problems. Occasionally a more serious effect has been observed in one instance a chemical worker exposed her face to the hot vapour of dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate and within 24 h her head had swollen to 20% of its original size and characteristic red spots with a white centre were present over the exposed area. Recovery took place slowly over a period of 3 weeks with cortisone-type ointment treatments. Her central nervous system was also affected and took some months to become normal. This was a very unusual and unique incident and is recorded to show that occasionally the unexpected human response can occur with diisocyanates.
