also be used in dry rubber systems. Arbestab
N PM may be considered as a low nitrosamine
antidegradent for certain polymers.
Customers are invited to request specific
Technical Booklets on the highlighted topics see index page.
In addition to our activities in the Polymer-area,
Robinson Brothers has particular expertise with
the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates.
This encompasses functions of the company
from marketing, research and development,
pilot plant trials, analytical method development
and production.
This expertise is applied to the Polymer
Chemicals business where there is an
emphasis on finding novel, cost effective
solutions to both application and legislative
problems.
Current related areas include Polymer
Chemicals being used in medical devices,
feeding systems and toys with further products
under development.
Sustainability issues are being addressed with
low temperature cure systems and heavy metal
reductions.

RBL Companay
Activities
RBL have long-established experience in the
environmentally acceptable handling of carbon
disulphide and other reactants which others
could find problematic especially when
handled in multitonne quantities.
Thus carbon disulphide is used in a variety of
thiocarbonylation reactions to manufacture a
range of dithiocarbamates, thiuram sulphides
and alkyl thioureas plus several key
pharmaceutical intermediates.
Similarly
hydrogen sulphide is employed in thiolation
processes to provide thio and mercaptoproducts.
Catalytic reduction processes are another
established area of expertise and our range of
production scale autoclaves is being constantly
expanded in line with customer demands.
Also in place is chiral reductions using
stereospecific catalyst complexes. We are
actively seeking opportunities to develop
further this relatively new area of chemical
synthesis.
Specialised units are available designed to
carry out reactions involving challenging
gaseous reactants such as phosgene as part
of a series of unit operations. Elemental
bromine can be similarly handled in fully
authenticated plant.
Literature descriptive of RBL non-polymer
range of chemicals is available on request.
Custom synthesis is an important part of the
business and enquiries can be assured of a
confidential and thorough assessment of their
proposals.
