MixlandŽ TTC-R 80 GA, a new nitrosamine-free retarder
	MLPC International presents a new retarder, MixlandŽ TTC-R 80 GA. Though belonging to the phtalimides products family, this new product doesn't have their drawbacks as it shows outstanding efficiency without altering the vulcanizates mechanical properties. Furthermore, it is a nitrosamine-free product, being a chlorine derivative with a chemical structure close to those of other chlorine retarders. This product is only available as polymer-bound masterbatches in order to prevent direct contact of the handling staff thanks to the dust free product property. The MLPC International's MixlandŽ range policy is to offer only high quality products and the increasing sales show that this choice is right.
