Butyl rubber is another product that can be used in the product. First developed in the 1930s, butyl rubber is a commodity product that is easy
S. health regulators have warned drug maker Bayer over quality control issues at its manufacturing plant in Germany. The Food and Drug Administration says that its inspectors discovered testing problems at the company's plant in Berghamen, Germany.
