Since that time a number of important developments have taken place, notably the beginning of the harmonisation of the legislation within Europe with the issuing of the Council of Europe (CoE) Resolution on rubber in 2004, and the FSA has commissioned a number of fundamental studies at Rapra into the potential migrants that are present in rubber products (FSA contracts FS2248, A03038 and A03046).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast to plastics, rubbers are rarely used in the packaging of food products. Examples of where they are found include the use of rubber seals in flip top stoppers on beer bottles, rubber seals used in some jar tops, and the seal that is present in the ends of food cans. However, in the processing of food, there are a number of situations where significant contact of the food with rubber products can occur. This is due to the fact that the unique properties of rubber lead to it being used in a wide range of products, including conveyor belting, hosing, seals, gaskets, skirting and specific products such as milk liners. It is also the case that the range of contact conditions encountered (i.e., food type, contact temperature, time and area) mean that a wide variety of rubber types are employed. The contact times with food in processing situations tend to be short and the contact areas, apart from hose and belting, are small. This is in contrast to plastics which, when used as packaging materials, often have long contact times and large surface contact areas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is the need for knowledge in this area that has led the UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA) to fund a number of research projects at independent research organisations such as Rapra to look into the use of rubber as a food contact material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Contact Rubbers 2 - Products, Migration, and Regulation \u003c\/strong\u003ecomprises a concise, expert review, supported by an extensive bibliography compiled from the Polymer Library on the topic of rubbers in contact with food.

In 1983 he started a full time Master of Science course in Polymer Science and Technology at the LSPT.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter being awarded his MSc in 1984, he completed a PhD in Polymer Chemistry at Loughborough University in 1988. He then joined Rapra Technology as a Consultant in the Polymer Analysis section and remained in that section until 2006, rising to the position of Principal Consultant. During his time in the Polymer Analysis section, Dr. Forrest was the main contact at Rapra for consultancy projects involving the analysis of rubber compounds and rubber based products. During his 20 years at Rapra he has also managed a number of FSA, TSB, and EU funded research projects, and since 2006 he has been a Project Manager for the Research Projects Group.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2017-06-22T21:13:26-04:00","created_at":"2017-06-22T21:13:26-04:00","vendor":"Chemtec Publishing","type":"Book","tags":["2006","additives","food","formulary","formulation","migration","packaging","r-health","rubber","silicone rubbers"],"price":15000,"price_min":15000,"price_max":15000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43378355076,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Food Contact Rubbers 2 - Products, Migration and Regulation","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":15000,"weight":1000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":null,"inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"978-1-85957-522-2","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/chemtec.org\/cdn\/shop\/products\/978-1-85957-522-2.jpg?v=1499727611"],"featured_image":"\/\/chemtec.org\/cdn\/shop\/products\/978-1-85957-522-2.jpg?v=1499727611","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":354808561757,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.767,"height":450,"width":345,"src":"\/\/chemtec.org\/cdn\/shop\/products\/978-1-85957-522-2.jpg?v=1499727611"},"aspect_ratio":0.767,"height":450,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/chemtec.org\/cdn\/shop\/products\/978-1-85957-522-2.jpg?v=1499727611","width":345}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\nAuthor: Martin J.

The British Rubber Manufacturers’ Association and Rapra Technology Limited have combined forces to update the information on hundreds of different rubber chemicals. New data has been compiled from reputable manufacturers and suppliers, and from standard sources of health and safety data. The book includes an introduction to the regulations governing the labeling and use of chemicals, together with definitions of toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and effects on reproduction. Specific hazard, risk, and safety labels are explained. The issue of health surveillance in the industry is dealt with in detail. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany rubber chemicals are examined individually in the form of abbreviated safety data sheets. They are listed under categories of use: reinforcing agents and fillers, accelerators and retarders, vulcanising agents, antidegradants, organic peroxides, peptisers and processing aids, ester plasticisers, blowing agents, bonding agents, latex auxiliaries, pigments and miscellaneous. Each chemical has a data sheet including trade names, suppliers, physical data, fire hazards (including explosion risk), regulatory labeling, health hazards, emergency first aid, and food contact listings (FDA and BgVV). New to this edition is the addition of CAS and EINECS numbers to aid identification of materials. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther rubber chemicals are discussed as groups: natural and synthetic polymers, process oils and chlorinated waxes, tackifying and reinforcing resins, and rubber solvents. In the section on process oils, there is a discussion on the introduction of new synthetic oils, with reduced aromatic content. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnvironmental control is a key issue in today’s world. This book devotes a chapter to the subject of dust and vapour emissions during rubber processing and methods of monitoring.
