BEIJING - The Ministry of Commerce announced Friday it will launch an anti-dumping probe into toluene diisocyanate (TDI 80/20) imported from the European Union.

A brief statement on the MOC's website said it will begin investigating the dumping margin and possible damage to similar products and industries in China starting from March 23.

TDI is a chemical used to make many household products, including foam for furniture cushions and some sealants.
