Isocyanates are reactive chemicals used in the production of polyurethane foams, coatings, adhesives, and paints. Among them, hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) is a common aliphatic isocyanate encountered in industrial and automotive settings. This test measures specific IgE antibodies to HDI in the blood, providing an objective indication of sensitization to this chemical.

About Hexamethylene Diisocyanate (HDI) Allergy Test | Chemical in Algonquin

Understanding HDI sensitization

Hexamethylene diisocyanate is a low-molecular-weight compound that can act as a hapten, meaning it must bind to larger carrier proteins in the body before the immune system can recognize it. Once bound, it can stimulate the production of specific IgE antibodies in susceptible individuals.

Exposure to HDI occurs primarily through inhalation of vapors or aerosols during tasks such as spray painting, foam manufacturing, and the application of two-component coatings. Skin contact is also possible when handling uncured resins or contaminated surfaces.

A blood test for HDI-specific IgE detects the presence of these antibodies and can support the evaluation of isocyanate allergy. Results should be interpreted alongside a person's exposure history and clinical symptoms, as sensitization does not always equate to clinical allergy.
