- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
Isocyanates are electrophiles, and as such they are reactive toward a variety of nucleophiles including alcohols, amines, bases, and even water. Sulfite is a weak base and may add to the isocyanate (Personal communication with chemical industry experts). 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.
