Hazard Predictions

Isocyanates polymerize readily, particularly with amines (Richter, R.H., R.D. Priester Jr. 2000. Isocyanates, Organic. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).

Triethylphosphine can initiate the polymerization of methyl isocyanate. (Pohanish, Richard P.; Greene, Stanley A. (2009). Wiley Guide to Chemical Incompatibilities (3rd Edition). John Wiley & Sons. p. 599)

Methyl isocyanate and cyclohexyl isocyanate react violently with amines. (Pohanish, Richard P.; Greene, Stanley A. (2009). Wiley Guide to Chemical Incompatibilities (3rd Edition). John Wiley & Sons. p. 296, 599)
