MORCHEM: “SAFE USE AND HANDLING OF DIISOCYANATES TRAINING”
The EU has introduced a mandatory training of diisocyanates workers according to REACH restriction – published in the Official Journal of the European Union in August 2020 and which will become effective in August 2023, providing a transition period of 3 years. This regulation, addressed to industrial and professional uses of diisocyanates introduces new minimum training requirements for workers handling this substance and mixtures containing them.
The European associations ISOPA and ALIPA, strongly committed with this new regulation, are already working together with other industry-associations, such as IVK and FEICA on an online training platform, which will provide different levels of training based on the risk categorizations.
MORCHEM has been included in this Pilot Phase for “Safe use and handling of diisocyanates training”, in accordance with the legal training requirements of this REACH regulation.
The MORCHEM team has finished the full Level 1 training, and we are very proud of being one of the first companies in Europe which has successfully completed this training and received the corresponding certificates.
Our aim is working together for a safe and secure future for the Polyurethane industry.
OFFICIAL INAUGURATION OF THE NEW MORCHEM PLANT IN FONTANAR BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REGIONAL GOVERNMENT OF CASTILLA LA MANCHA, MR EMILIANO GARCÍA-PAGE
FONTANAR (Guadalajara), 14th June 2021
On 14th June, the President of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, inaugurated the new MORCHEM plant in Fontanar.
This event was initially scheduled for 16th March 2020, but had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 state of alarm situation.
The event was held with a reduced circle of people respecting the allowed capacity limits at the time and was attended by several authorities from Castilla la Mancha: In addition to the President of the regional government of Castilla-La Mancha, we were joined by Ms. Patricia Franco, Councillor of Economy, Business and Employment of the regional government of Castilla-La Mancha, Mr. José Luis Vega Pérez, President of the Provincial Council of Guadalajara and Mr. Víctor San Vidal, Mayor President of the City Council of Fontanar.
The new plant, built in a record time of 16 months on a 30,000 m2 plot, and after an investment of more than 25 million Euros, is focused on the manufacture of high volume polyurethane and polyester adhesives and is one of the most innovative factories in Europe, with fully automated facilities.
Despite the pandemic situation we decided to start up in April 2020. The good coordination and dedication of the teams of Fontanar and Las Franquesas allowed us to successfully start up the new plant little by little.
We would like to thank the regional government of Castilla La Mancha for all the support received for this project, as well as the City Council and the people of Fontanar for their warm welcome and hospitality.
