A new regulation on diisocyanates was approved by European authorities under REACH on the 4^th of August 2020. The regulation addresses respiratory and dermal hypersensitivity potentially caused by diisocyanates and requires training prior to the use of products containing >0.1% free diisocyanate monomers.

The new regulation and mandatory training only apply to polyurethane products. NO training is required for working with SMP-Polymer-based products. The formulations of the recently expanded Wood Max range are based on SMP-Polymer technology and are therefore MDI-, solvent- and PU-free. Wood Max belongs to the new generation of wood construction adhesives.

A clear solution for waterproof bonding without polyurethane

Griffon introduces a new, extremely strong variant of its wood construction adhesive based on SMP-Polymer technology: Wood Max Transparent Power. This next generation wood construction adhesive is PU and solvent free and is a unique combination of transparency, strength, flexibility and ease of use.

Griffon introduces two new colours in the Poly Max® Fix & Seal Express range: anthracite and beige

The new colours are ideal for fixing and sealing jobs that require a specific colour match. The  new anthracite colour is based on RAL 7016 (dark grey), a widely used colour for window frames, skylights, verandas, bathroom furniture and fences. The new beige colour is commonly used for pool edges, terraces and facades amongst others.
