4,4'-Methylenebis(2-chloroaniline),
also known as MbOCA or MOCA, is a substance used as a curing agent
in polyurethane production. It is a suspected human carcinogen and
is readily absorbed through the skin. There is a UK Biological Monitoring
Guidance Value of 15 µmol/mol creatinine although recent
surveys have shown that companies with good occupational hygiene
control can achieve results less than 3 µmol/mol creatinine.
This test is for MbOCA
only. If your process also involves the use of isocyanates (e.g.
polyurethane production), you should request a combined
analysis of MbOCA with an isocyanate (
TDI or
MDI, please specify) in the same urine sample so that exposure
to both health risks (asthma and cancer) from the
process can be assessed.
Please note that a
minimum of 10mL urine is required for this test. Do
not send samples with less than this volume rather re-sample at
another time.
