USA – Following the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decision to ban most uses of methylene chloride due to health risks, Wilsonart, a global leader in engineered surfaces, highlights its Nonflammable adhesives NF700, NF740 Aerosol & Canister series, and NF940 Bulk Contact series.

Anticipating this ban, Wilsonart introduced these alternatives in 2018, offering unmatched safety and performance in nonflammable contact adhesives.

The EPA’s methylene chloride ban, announced on April 30, 2024, targets severe health risks like cancer and neurotoxicity, phasing out its consumer and industrial uses within two years.

Wilsonart responded by providing adhesive alternatives that comply with health and safety regulations. “Our commitment to sustainability and safety drives our innovations,” stated Ron Ubertini, vice president of adhesives for Wilsonart.

The NF700, NF740, and NF940 series, free from methylene chloride and n-propyl bromide, are ideal for laminating, offering strong initial tack, bond strength, and high heat resistance, drying within 2-5 minutes. Wilsonart continues its legacy of cutting-edge, safe, and environmentally responsible solutions.
