BASF makes MDI.


The MDI plant is where the incident occurred. Two guys got "gassed" whatever that means

Phosgene gas exposure most likely if it was the MDI unit. Awful.

That might be aniline. I think phosgene is use to make TDI - different unit.

These plants make a lot of anhydrous HCL as a byproduct which can also destroy your lungs.

He got gassed with phosgene gas or MDI pre mixture DADPM(that’s what they call it at Rubicon). That DADPM vapor they would get would be HCL and aniline.

Either of those 2 instances would leave a person in VERY grave danger/condition.
