The latest webinar session about productivity organised by COMEXI and MORCHEM on April 15th was a real success with a great number of attendees.

The presenters walked the attendees through value propositions to improve and optimise productivity in solvent free lamination processes, including a demo and a converter testimonial.

Our solvent free modular adhesive MORCHEM PL 262 A + CF-60 and CF-62 is recognised as an excellent tool to increase lamination speed having moreover a short curing process and a fast PAA decay.

We would like to thank all webinar attendees as well as COMEXI for the perfect organisation and also Mr. Galvez for providing his testimonial.

The new factory is focused on high volume polyurethane and polyester batches incorporating highest process and control automation in line with industry 4.0.

In record time, MORCHEM has set up its new production plant only 16 months after the laying of the foundation stone and will start production by end of April.

The company has made a powerful economic investment of more than 25 million Euros to respond to its strategy of growth and innovation.

The new MORCHEM plant is located on a 30,000 sqm plot and is the most innovative Polyurethane and Polyester production plant in Europe, including state-of-the-art installations and facilities such as:

  • Production tower incorporating fully automated lines according to the industry 4.0 concept
  • R&D Lab / Quality Lab / Application Lab
  • Warehousing: For safety and efficient storage
  • Production back up for all MORCHEM locations
  • IT back-up for all MORCHEM locations
  • According to most strict environmental protection
  • Highest safety for the team and the installations: Most advanced fire protection system

The factory is very innovative and has been designed and built applying the latest knowledge of production technology, with fully automated facilities, prioritizing process and personnel safety, environmental protection, product quality and process efficie

With the new factory we want to improve further our support to our customers and even to try to get ahead of their needs.

We continue at MORCHEM our activity as usual being considered critical and essential industry by the Spanish Authorities. We are devoting extra time and resources to our customers in the Textile Industry who have diverted their production to manufacture Personal Protective Equipment.

On 13th and 14th February, the 18th Inno-Meeting took place in Osnabrück. The conference theme this time was “Handeln” = “Take action” in the sense of reorientation.

With this in mind, our colleague, Erwin Jochim (Global KAM Morchem), held his presentation on the topic of “Continuous Challenges for Laminating Adhesives in Use for Flexible Packaging”. The first part of the presentation focused in particular on the security that adhesives have gained in recent years, always putting “Consumer Care and Safety” above everything with the latest launch of our epoxy silane free adhesives.

The second part focused on highlighting MORCHEM’s position towards laminating adhesives in terms of sustainability. Here MORCHEM can be proud to present its very recent development of a recyclable adhesive for standard packaging laminates such as PET/Alu/PE, OPA/PE, PET/PE which can be “delaminated” and films separated after use by using our own technology called MORCYCLING. Thus, plastic films and aluminium foils can be separated, recovered and reused.

As always, the meeting met our expectations in terms of content and procedure and was well attended by experts from the flexible packaging industry.
