ERJ staff report (DS)

Qilu, China -- Qilu Petrochemical has partially converted to the use of low-PAH oils in its oil-extended styrene-butadiene rubber grades, such as SBR1723. The news comes via a report from China Petrochemical News posted on the website of the China Rubber Industry Association (CRIA)

The plant reportedly plans to make 500 tonnes of the material, which it says is compliant with standards required by EU REACH legislation

Qilu said it began research into the new oils in 2005, but has now gone into commercial production following an increase in demand for this type of product.
