PAST WEBINAR: REACH Restrictions on Diisocyanates in the EU

January 21, 2021

The use of diisocyanates, which are used to make furniture foam, is soon to be restricted in the European Union. After February 24, 2022, only properly trained industrial or professional users will be allowed to use the materials. And, at the moment there are increasing calls for very tight exposure limits for workers in the industry.

UTECH Middle East Foam & Polyurethane Expo 2021 & Urethanes Technology International bring to you a webinar that discussed the current situation with regard to this new rule. The webinar introduced ISOPA and ALIPA, the European Diisocyanate & Polyol Producer's Associations, which are coordinating the industry's response to these challenges.
