RBH committed to Responsible Care program

Posted on by

Responsible Care

RBH is pleased to announce our success in committing to the RBA’s Responsible Care (RC) program. RC is the chemical industry’s commitment to continual improvement in health, safety and environmental performance. It is a global initiative. In the UK, Responsible Care covers the whole of the chemical supply chain – from manufacturers, through to distributors and logistics companies. Compliance with Responsible Care is mandatory for all CBA member companies involved in the trading, distribution, handling, movement and storage of chemicals.

Since 1993, CBA has measured the chemical distribution sector’s performance. This is a unique and valuable record illustrating the industry’s year-on-year progress.

Indices of Performance

Member companies are required to provide Indices of Performance covering key aspects of their health, safety and environmental performance. Since 1993, this data has been collected annually, aggregated and published as the distributor Indices of Performance Bulletin. It aims to provide CBA members and their employees, local communities, regulators and other industry stakeholders with a benchmark against which to measure the sector’s year-on-year performance.

Mark BrooksMark Brooks, RBH’s quality manager says “this provides us with a real roadmap with which to evaluate and improve our business over the coming couple of years”.

Cosmetics industry gears up to produce gifts for the Christmas market

Posted on by

Despite the warm summer weather we are enjoying currently, this is also the time of year when the cosmetics industry begins to gear itself up to produce gifts and box-sets for the Christmas market. Naturally, these will include body powders, dusting powders and colour cosmetics, all of which will require sterilised talc grades of the highest whiteness and purity. It means we are kept busy ensuring that we maintain higher than normal stock levels of those high quality talc grades that our customers and their markets always demand from us at this time

Industrial Minerals Magazine “Trading Faces” feature

Posted on by

 

Recently Industrial Minerals Magazine, www.indmin.com , interviewed me for their monthly “Trading Faces” feature. It was an interesting exercise in that it forced me to consider the key issues facing the company over the coming years. It’s a long time since I asked myself “What is the role of a minerals distributor?”  I fervently believe that the product alone is simply not the be all and end all. Our customers want on time deliveries, reliable quality and a supplier that is well informed, that they have confidence in. All at a competitive price. It is RBH goal to meet these objectives, every time.

Environmentally friendly Cellulose Fibres

Posted on by

The issue regarding environmentally friendly products is becoming more significant  and the impact of this on the environment and the respective carbon footprint is something that customers are taking into consideration when they decide upon which raw materials to use.

Richard Baker Harrison are becoming more aware of this  and  one of the products they market is  a range of Cellulose Fibres produced by  the Cellulose Fibre Fabrik (CFF)  based in Gehren Germany. These products are marketed under the Trade names Technocel and Topcel.  The products are derived from natural renewable resources and find applications such as Building Chemicals and Road Construction. Cellulose Fibres  offer a range of improvements to Plasters and Renders:  Adhesives: Filling Compounds; Bitumen based Products and Emulsion Paints. Just think that when you walk around the local DIY store that may of the products on the shelves  could incorporate this renewable resource.  On the way home the  road surface may have been laid using a product referred to as Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA). SMA  is a product which contains Cellulose fibre to prevent binder drainage in the Bitumen. It has a longer road life before it needs relaying and as such  offers a substantial saving in relaying costs  and hence  offers a lower carbon footprint.

Cellulose Fibres under the Trade name of Topcel  and Technocel contribute towards a better environment for us all and Richard Baker Harrison Ltd  are always seeking products which can help in this aspect.
