REACH is a set of safety regulations that applies to Europe. In 2020, it was updated with Annex XVII that restricts the use of certain specific chemicals. Professional users must either ensure that the concentration of isocyanates and diisocyanates is below 0.1 percent or provide operators with certified safety training on how to use of these chemicals.
Scientists in our laboratories have developed a growing portfolio of advanced technologies that are formulated without isocyanates. These high-performance solutions help customers to meet regulatory frameworks, while also enhancing working conditions and supporting progress toward sustainability goals across a wide range of industries.
- Silane-modified polymers (SMPs)
- LOCTITE® NEO technologies
Versatile adhesives based on silane modified polymers (SMP) react with moisture to form strong bonds and seals. They are suitable for use on plastics, metals and composite materials. And they are formulated without isocyanates, solvents, BPA, PFAs, PVC and partly tin, improving working conditions of operators and offering a REACH-compliant bonding option.
Two-component adhesives from the LOCTITE® NEO range are based on isocyanate‑free formulations that comply with REACH regulations and cure at ambient temperatures. In this way, they protect worker safety while also simplifying processes and helping manufacturers to save energy, cut emissions and boost sustainability.
