The present invention relates to an improved process for the production of carbodiimide modified organic isocyanate, preferably a polymethylene polyphenylisocyanate, and most preferably diphenylmethane diisocyanate. This process includes (1) neutralizing acidic impurities in an organic isocyanate, (2) partially carbodiimidizing isocyanate groups of the neutralized organic isocyanate, and (3) terminating the carbodiimidization reaction. |
