Is work in rubber products harmful to health?

Answer:

The raw material of rubber products is rubber compound, and the rubber compound has five components:Main rubber. Rubber main glue is not toxic.Reinforcing agent. Most of the reinforcing agents are not toxic.Softener. Is the most emollient mineral oils, high temperature volatile hazardous substances.Antioxidant. Some poisonous.Vulcanizing agent. The vulcanizing agent is generally sulfur, sulfur will release a high temperature sulfur dioxide, sulfur dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide gas three.
In the manufacture of rubber products, the rubber itself is not toxic, but some agents are toxic, so most of the factories are now using intelligent small drug batching system, to avoid direct contact with the human body. In use, some contact with the human body rubber requirements are very high, from the choice of gum species (usually silicone rubber and PU), to the use of mixing agents, have strict requirements. If the general use, such as tires, seals and so on, and the body does not matter much.
Work in a rubber factory is harmful to health.When the rubber vulcanization molding, high temperature reaction releases sulfur dioxide, sulfur dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide gas three. If the workshop dust suction measures are not enough, these gases will pollute the workshop environment, workers will suck into the body, endanger health.
