PRODUCT SAFETY

Mandatory training for products containing diisocyanates and their use

The European Union has introduced a new restriction on the use of products containing more than 0.1% monomeric diisocyanates.
The new regulations apply to products such as polyurethane adhesives, sealants, casting resins, coating materials and more.
All products affected feature a corresponding note on the label indicating that training is mandatory.

The aim is to use safety training to prevent the skin- and respiratory-sensitising properties caused by diisocyanates. The REACH decision requires all commercial and industrial users to complete a relevant training before they are allowed to use such products.
