This disclosure relates to a composition comprising (a) 4,4-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (4,4-MDI), and (b) at least one heterocyclic compound comprising as ring moiety at least one structure of formula (I) as defined in the description. The heterocyclic compound can suppress the formation of 4,4-MDI dimer and thus prevent the formation of insoluble solids and extend the shelf life of 4,4-MDI.

The present invention relates to a process for producing isocyanates in process chains, each of which produce an isocyanate end product via at least one intermediate product, wherein the heat energy liberated in a first production plant in a heat-emitting operation of producing an intermediate product, an isocyanate end product or a catalyst required for a substep of the process chain (first chemical product) is at least partly utilized for generating vapour, in particular water vapour, having a pressure of 1.31 bar.sub.(abs.) to 1.91 bar.sub.(abs.) and a temperature of 107 C. to 119 C. and the thus generated vapour is employed for performing a heat-consuming operation in the preparation of another chemical product (second chemical product) in a second production plant.

The present invention provides an electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery including an additive, which may prevent a chemical reaction between the electrolyte solution and an electrode by forming a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and a protection layer on the surface of the electrode, and a lithium secondary battery in which life characteristics and high-temperature stability are improved by including the same.

Disclosed are powder coating compositions that include a polymeric aromatic product of an aromatic isocyanate manufacturing process.
