Chemicals and materials

COATING SYSTEM Watertight polyurethane product is designed to protect high-traffic concrete, wood, and metal surfaces that need a flexible, chemical-resistant product. The coating allows the surface to adjust to changes in the temperature or humidity without cracking. Garon, http://www.garonproducts.com

SILICONE ADHESIVE This electrically conductive and pressure-sensitive coating and adhesive exhibits high shear strength and good chemical resistance and adheres to metals, painted surfaces, and plastic films. It is flexible, fast-curable, and can be subjected to extreme conditions. Creative Materials, http://www.creativematerials.com

MACHINABLE CERAMIC
MACHINABLE CERAMIC

MACHINABLE CERAMIC Low-expansion zirconia phosphate ceramic can be used to produce high-temperature fixtures and insulators used in brazing, heat-treating, optical, and semiconductor applications up to 1,550 °C. Available in both low (60–70%) and medium (70–80%) compositions. Aremco, http://www.aremco.com

MEDIUM-CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES Substance can be substituted for mineral oil in various applications. Derived from vegetable oils and fully saturated, they exhibit excellent oxidative stability and superior organoleptic qualities. Stepan Co., http://www.stepan.com

STERILIZATION SYSTEM
STERILIZATION SYSTEM

ANALYTICAL BALANCE Device permits rapid and accurate weighing by allowing air to freely pass through the slotted grid weigh pan, which is suspended from the back of the weigh chamber. Various grid attachments and pan options support virtually any weighing vessel or sample. Mettler-Toledo, http://www.mt.com

STERILIZATION SYSTEM Compact benchtop, pulsed UV light system rapidly delivers high-peak energy. Designed for starting and stopping, the benign, mercury-free system doesn't create or use VOCs or suspended airborne particulates. Xenon, http://www.xenoncorp.com

REFRIGERANT MONITORS Continuous air monitoring systems use infrared technology to measure levels of organic compounds, including HCFCs, HFCs, and other refrigerants. O. I. Analytical, http://www.oico.com

 

Plant materials and equipment

POCKET STROBOSCOPE Makes objects that are moving at high speeds appear to stop or move in slow motion, allowing the user to analyze the object's motion, check for cracks or damaged parts, or determine sources of unwanted vibration without having to stop the production process. It also provides precise, noncontact speed measurement between 30 and 12,000 rpm. Kernco, http://www.kerncoinstr.com

RUBBER-MOLDING PRESSES New line of highly automated rubber hydraulic molding presses provides higher production rates and improves part quality. Available in models from 600 to 2,000 tons, the presses feature a fully automatic mold-handling system that opens and closes molds quickly and safely. Technical Machine Products, http://www.techmach.com

REMOTE OXYGEN ANALYZER Product enables analysis of oxygen content of gas near the burners of flare-stacks. The unit consists of a paramagnetic oxygen measurement transmitter and a separate control unit capable of accepting transmissions from up to six transmitters. Servomex, http://www.servomex.com

FLASH ALARM High-intensity amber flash alarm brings immediate local attention to process conditions. Flash alerts occur at one-second intervals. The polycarbonate housing is resistant to corrosive environments. Flowline, http://www.flowline.com
