American Chemical Society releases a informative video about the rubber industry

ACS have recently released a short video to educate consumers on the use of rubber in every day life.

Everyday we make contact with elastomers; from driving to work in the morning to putting on sports shoes for an evening run. This video highlights the importance of rubber materials in our day-to-day lives.

Robac Technology is the rubber accelerators and polymer chemical division of Robinson Brothers. This business sector focuses specifically on chemicals used in dry and wet rubber applications, plus additional polymer additives.
