Chemicals and materials
ADHESIVE A ceramic-filled paste bonds tenaciously to ceramic, metal, and quartz substrates. The compound is rated for operating temperatures up to 3,000 °F and is easily applied using a brush, syringe, or automated dispenser. Cured product exhibits minimal shrinkage, exceptional mechanical strength, and moisture and thermal shock resistance. Aremco, http://www.aremco.com
OPTICS Custom-manufactured, high-precision sapphire optics are offered in a wide range of configurations including balls, lenses, wedges, and domes. Sapphire optics exhibit a hardness second only to diamond, making them ideal for applications requiring a greater durability than glass or quartz. Meller Optics, http://www.melleroptics.com
IPG STRIPS New line of immobilized pH gradient strips for gel electrophoresis of protein mixtures covers the pH range from 3 to 11, yielding improved resolution well into the basic region. Amersham Biosciences, http://www.amershambiosciences.com
RUBBER Melt-processable rubber is designed for injection molding applications. It bonds well to PVC and provides good tensile and tear strength, as well as featuring excellent durability, chemical resistance, and rapid cycle times at a lower price than premium grades.
