Providing Safer Ingredients for Children’s Products

Robinson Brothers developed safe rubber accelerators used in children’s products.

Pacifiers, baby teats, sensory balloons and rubber ducks – what do they all have in common? Latex. The components differ for each item but they all require a rubber accelerator. A rubber accelerator accelerates the linkage between rubber molecules to help form a rubber structure. It is widely reported that traditional rubber accelerators can cause allergic reactions, which is why Robinson Brothers developed safe rubber accelerators used in children’s products.

The company’s Robac Technology range includes a range of rubber accelerators that have been proven to be safer compared to traditional rubber accelerators. One such example is Robac AS100. This rubber accelerator does not contain any of the nitrosamines known to cause a Type IV allergy (skin dermatitis).

Robac Technology products Robac AS100 and Robac Arbestab Z are accelerators used to produce rubber toys, and which 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. Samples of Robac AS100 and Robac Arbestab Z are available upon request.

Robac AS100 has proved particularly successful in natural rubber medical gloves, baby teats, sports shoe soles, personal protective equipment, condoms, catheters, medical sheeting and tubing. Want to know more? Click here to read our technical papers online.

Thailand’s Ministry of Industry has reported Standard TIS 1025-2562 (2019) for pacifiers will become effective on 13 December 2021. Read more about the introduction of this standard by visiting the link below.
