Nitrosamine-free Blue Metal Detectable Rubber

Nitrosamine-free Blue Metal Detectable Rubber

Erasing Carcinogenic Nitrosamines from EU1935 Polymer Materials! We're delighted to announce that MacLellan's technical team have identified formulation and process changes that eliminate the use of accelerators, thereby eliminating the creation of Nitrosamines without compromising product quality and performance.

Nitrosamines are chemical compounds that form as part of the process in rubber compounding and have been accepted at extremely low levels as a natural outcome in polymer manufacture. The type of Nitrosamine produced could have a severe impact on the potential for contamination within a particular application. However, we're the first in our industry to have independent certification that we have eliminated carcinogenic Nitrosamines from materials which are used in the production of baby foods, Pharmaceuticals and Biomedical items and Food Processing equipment.
