Brazilian condoms to save rainforest?

Brazil has opened a £10m condom factory to help preserve its rainforest and fight the spread of HIV and AIDS.

It will produce 100m condoms a year – that will be freely distributed by the Brazilian Government – from latex manually extracted from its rainforests.
Brazilian rubber tappers will be able to harvest latex from the trees to supply the factory based in the north-western town of Xapuri.

The Brazilian Government said the rubber tappers will protect the trees and the rainforest to ensure their livelihood.

They argued that the scheme will give both the rubber tappers and local residents an economic stake in the rainforest and reduce pressure to cut down the forest. It is believed around 500 families will benefit from the scheme.

Rubber tappers in the Acre state, where the factory is based, produce about 6.2m tpa of latex but the new factory is expected to increase demand by around 500,000 tpa. At the moment most of Brazil’s condom supply is imported.

Innovative Plasticizer Alternative to Phthalates for PVC Gloves

Phthalates are used in numerous Coatings and Inks formulations in order to improve flexibility, increase durability, provide cracking resistance or to aid coalescence of emulsions.

Owing to toxicological and regulatory pressures, there is a clear trend in the market to replace these Phthalates by other alternatives with a minimum impact on performances and cost. Of course the requirements for an alternative depends on the final application but typical needs are:

Desired Technical Plasticizer Properties:

1) Processability
2) Low migration
3) Low volatility
4) No interference with other technical requirements
5) Temperature effects /cold flexibility
6) Compatibility with the substrate

A NEW GENERATION OF PLASTICIZER called DINCH comes with an excellent toxicological profile and has been designed as a phthalate alternative. This product is directly derived from DINP as seen below. DINCH is the "cycloaliphatic version" of the phthalate. Today DINCH has successfully replaced phthalates in many PVC applications such as medical, toys, gloves and packaging.
