Innovation at Robinson Brothers: New Product Development

As regulations and consumer demand changes, manufacturers look to develop new products to substitute existing products in the market.

As one of the UK’s largest exporter, the UK chemical manufacturing industry continues to introduce new products to suit customer demands. Robinson Brothers has kept a close focus on new product development in its 150 years as a chemical manufacturer, and continues to do so today.

Robinson Brothers is one of the UK's largest independent manufacturers of fine chemicals and rubber accelerators. Based in West Midlands (UK), Robinson Brothers research & development department, named Polymer Additive Laboratory, focuses on the new product development of nitrosamine-safe rubber accelerators for use in rubber goods. Rubbers used to manufacture toys, automotive components and aerospace applications are highly regulated. Traditional rubber accelerators, such as thiazoles (MBTS/MBT) and thiurams (TMTD), have been identified to leave toxic residues in rubber goods and also generate highly toxic nitrosamines during the manufacturing process. These chemicals pose a hazard to the individual handling the rubber good, as well as the environment.

Robinson Brothers has specifically focused on the development of nitrosamine-safe rubber accelerators, which meet regulatory needs as well as product applications. Safer rubber accelerators developed at Robinson Brothers include:
Robac AS100 | Suitable in Footwear
Robac SAA30 | Suitable in Medical Gloves
Robac Arbestab Z | Suitable in Balloons

What’s new?
Robinson Brothers was pleased to present the details of another new nitrosamine-safe thiuram disulfide to the rubber manufacturing industry in a technical paper published in Rubber Chemistry and Technology Journal. This new product, TINTD, has been specifically developed to replace traditional rubber accelerators that produce carcinogenic N-nitrosamines during the vulcanisation process. Contact us today to learn more about TINTD.
