Why This Biomarker Matters

Positive results confirm allergic sensitization to this occupational chemical. Early detection prevents development of occupational asthma and guides workplace safety measures.

Overview

Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) is an industrial chemical used in paints, coatings, and adhesives. This test detects IgE antibodies to HDI, indicating occupational allergic sensitization. Workers exposed to isocyanates may develop respiratory symptoms, asthma, or skin reactions. A positive IgE result confirms allergic sensitization and helps guide workplace interventions, protective equipment use, or job reassignment to prevent occupational asthma and disease progression.
