When selling our live line products remember that Polywater has a product approval for RBG Rubber Goods Cleaner from Salisbury by Honeywell. Salisbury is a leading maker of rubber protective products for utility linemen, such as blankets and sleeves. Since RBG's primary function is to clean these rubber goods, this approval is a critically important sales tool. Here's what Salisbury says: "A sample of Rubber Goods Cleaner, Catalog #RBG-35LR, from Polywater Corporation, along with the MSDS and Technical Bulletin, were received to determine if this product can safely be used in field cleaning of our rubber protective products such as blankets and sleeves. In reviewing both the Technical Bulletin and MSDS, this product appears safe for this application. To confirm it, we took natural rubber yellow sleeve, an EPDM orange blanket, and a yellow EPDM blanket. The three products were well rubbed with the cleaning solution and allowed to sit overnight with the top side covered with the solution. After 24 hours the three parts were rinsed and carefully examined. We found no discoloration or any other deformities. The three parts were also tested for physical properties before and after the test. Tensiles, elongation, and the hardness remained the same after the test. In view of these findings, this product is safe for the cleaning of Salisbury rubber protective parts. The soap must immediately be rinsed out with water after the application. All safety instructions given in the MSDS for this product must be observed. Also the application instructions on the product label must be observed."
