Safer Chemicals

Robinson Brothers’ rubber accelerators division, Robac Technology, has purposely developed nitrosamine safer rubber accelerators to suit the application needs of surgical latex glove manufacturers and dipped rubber goods. 

One such example is Robac AS100, which is a rubber accelerator developed by the Robac Technology team for use during rubber vulcanisation. Robac AS100 does not contain any of the nitrosamine linked to Type IV allergies, and is considered to be a much safer alternative to the components used previously.

Robac AS100 has proved particularly successful in the natural rubber baby teat and soother markets. Similar opportunities for growth exist in any body contact rubber products, including: natural rubber surgeon’s gloves, personal protective equipment, condoms, catheters, mattresses, medical sheeting and tubing.

The company also offers Robac Arbestab Z that does not contain any of the nitrosamine linked to Type I and Type IV allergies.

Robac AS100 and Robac Arbestab Z comply with the BS EN 71:2016 Safety of Toys Standard and BS EN 12868:2017 Child Use and Care Articles Standard for N-Nitrosamines and N-Nitrosatable substances.
