Jowatherm-Reaktant® MR

Product catalog summary

Product Overview: Jowatherm-Reaktant® MR is a series of reactive hot melt adhesives that are designed to be minimal in emissions and do not require GHS labelling according to EU regulations. These adhesives are particularly beneficial in environments that must remain free of hazardous substances.

Specifications and Features: The adhesives are polyurethane-based with low monomer content, specifically designed to be non-hazardous. They are suitable for various industries including furniture, automotive, textile, and packaging. The adhesives are known for their excellent bonding properties due to the presence of isocyanates, which are essential for the crosslinking reaction.

Health and Safety: Standard PUR adhesives are classified as hazardous due to their monomer MDI content. However, Jowatherm-Reaktant® MR adhesives have a monomer MDI content of less than 0.1%, exempting them from hazardous labelling. Despite this, safety measures such as exhaust ventilation and personal protective equipment are recommended during processing to prevent exposure to isocyanates, which can cause irritation and allergies.

Regulatory Compliance: The adhesives comply with EU regulation 1272/2008 and directive 2008/58/EC, ensuring they do not require P and H statements. This compliance highlights their safety and suitability for use in sensitive production environments.

Recommendations: It is advised to conduct customer trials under normal processing conditions to ensure suitability. The adhesives should be used with appropriate safety measures to protect against any potential exposure to isocyanates.

Product Information Technische Information Monomer-reduced PUR hot melts Polyurethane hot melt adhesives with a low monomer content have been available for quite some time. One-component, moisturecuring PUR hot melts have already been an established technology in many industries and applications for several decades. Processors are recognising and benefiting from the technological advantages of these products in ever more fields of application. In keeping with the growing acceptance and demand for monomer-reduced PUR hot melts, the adhesives specialists have developed the Jowatherm-Reaktant ®...
