Abstract
Polyisocyanates of the diphenylmethane series are produced by a) reacting aniline and formaldehyde in the presence of an acidic catalyst to produce a polyamine, b) neutralizing the reaction mixture from step a) with a base at a temperature of more than 110° C. or neutralizing the reaction mixture from step a) with a base and heating the neutralized mixture to a temperature of more than 110° C., and c) phosgenating the polyamine from step b) to convert it to the corresponding polyisocyanate.
