Nitrosamines are organic compounds that are produced based on reactions between nitrite chemicals and secondary amines. They are substances that can be found commonly in major or minor quantities in many foods and beverages, such as beer, fish, or meat products. The nitrosamines are also frequently used in products of rubber and latex, like balloons, and also in pesticides and some cosmetic products.
These are dangerous molecules for the body, especially in the long term, since they have demonstrated carcinogen effects.
In light of the proven effects of nitrosamines on health, many normative and companies generators of products where this chemical is applied have focused their efforts in reducing the presence of this compound in their final products. Commercial Persan is no exception. Always ensuring their clients’ wellbeing and health in the long term, Commercial Persan has introduced itself to balloon fabrication low on nitrosamines, and as a result of their efforts they have received a formal certification which guarantees the safety of their products in this area. A proof of these commitments is the awarding of the UNE-EN ISO 14001:2004 certification for environment management in the production of latex balloons and the UNE-EN ISO 9001:2008 for quality control.
