Sport, health and the environment
As sport continues to develop, the more prone to conflict its stance will be as regards players' health and the environment. This is the reason why the Olympic Movement drew up AGENDA 21, a set of compulsory guidelines governing this area.
Performance AND safety
Table tennis rubbers are products manufactured using chemical processes. They are not automatically harmless. In developing Tensor BIOS, we therefore set ourselves 2 challenging goals: we made a quantum leap in achieving performance without the need to apply harmful speedglue to rubbers. And at the same time we increased the tolerability of table tennis rubbers in general. Tensor BIOS rubbers are fully compatible with the requirements of AGENDA 21 and also the ambitions of the ITTF.
The speedgluing ban
The process of speedgluing, to which has table tennis rubbers have been subjected for 25 years for the purposes of tuning, relies on the action of harmful solvents. Speedgluing is not compatible with AGENDA 21 and will be banned in future.

At the cutting edge of innovation
Once solvents are banned, it will not be possible to manufacture any other glues that have a speedglue effect. The best solution lies in rubbers with a permanent, integral speedglue effect. Tensor BIOS products are at the cutting edge of innovative rubber technology. The performance of Tensor BIOS is close to the maximum achievable by speedgluing. The rubbers secrete no solvents and harbour no health risks for players.
