Abstract
Abstract
For several years, Germany has led the effort to eliminate the use of common nitrosamines in the rubber industry. Their TRGS 522(Nov 95) allows no more than 2.5 µg/m3 emission of nitrosamines between vulcanization and warehousing. Additionally, major U.S. Automobile manufacturers have issued stringent requirements with regards to the use of nitrosamines. One company has issued a restricted substances standard that prohibits the use of nitrosamines in excess of the 0.1 % threshold value of the part's total weight. With over 300 nitrosamines listed as either known or suspected carcinogens, safety continues to drive the elimination of nitrosamines in the rubber industry. Therefore, this is a review of nitrosamine regulations, identification of nitrosamines, how they are formed, and the latest in compounding essentials to produce non-nitrosamine generating compound.
