Isocyanates and Isothiocyanates mixed with
Phenols and Cresols

Hazard Predictions

Isocyanates are known to react vigorously and exothermically with alcohols to form carbamates (National Fire Protection Association. 1975. Publication 491M. pp. 19; Rich, G. A., 1993, Dangerous Chemical Reactions, Gulf Publishing Co., Houston, TX, p. 255). The combination of isocyanates with phenols or cresols may react in a similar way. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
