Sustainability
The EU has considered Mboca as a highly dangerous carcinogen in its handling process (more information). And it has legislated the prohibition of the use of Mboca in the very short term [COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 895/2014, SUNSET DATE 22.NOV.2017 + EXTENSION 4 YEARS]
This is a problem because, although there are other dressings and in some applications the use of Mboca is not necessary (typical example: in the No Crush or Introducer Wheels), when the requirement of support for cutting and abrasion is combined, the new dressings developed until now they had not reached the level of performance offered by the MBOCA.
For this reason, with a strong R&D drive, anticipating legislative change and under the precautionary principle, a few years ago, we began the development of a new formulation with a different curative than Mboca. It is a new amine with a better toxicological profile and whose physical properties, after many series of tests on our own testing machine at Rodicut and subsequently in controlled tests on clients, have been perfected to obtain optimum application performance in die-cutting machines. Rotary. Very possibly, they have already used this new formula in some of the parts that we may have supplied them in recent months.
TODAY we announce it and launch MBOCA FREE®, the only Anvil Covers brand with a new dressing free of toxicological effects and guaranteeing the same, or even better, performance. And you will recognize this brand on the labels of our products.
