Genaminox CHE

March 5, 2012

Genaminox CHE is a peroxide-stable amine oxide (AO) hard-surface cleaner (HSC) made from a plant-based renewable hydrophobe. It enables manufacturers to cut active ingredient input by up to 66%, reducing material purchasing, transportation and storage costs to achieve lower costs for greener cleaning products. According to industry-standard Gardner tests, it consistently outperforms alternative surfactants at a very low concentration because its critical micelle concentration (CMC) is less than half that of lauryldimethyl AO.

HT-Solve 515

March 5, 2012

HT-Solve 515 is a high-temperature solvent that is suitable for cleaning equipment used in polymer manufacturing processes, including reactor vessels, pipelines, heat exchangers, pumps, and other equipment that is vulnerable to residue buildup. When polymers are manufactured, a plastic powder residue is produced during polymerization and monomer volatilization, building up inside secondary copolymer reactors and transfer lines. This residue accumulates and solidifies on surfaces, causing equipment to lose efficiency.

Pergasol anionic dyes

March 5, 2012

Pergasol anionic dyes are designed for coloration of fresh and recycled paper fibers, such as liners, sack paper and corrugated cardboard. Brown O dye minimizes backwater coloration and has a high affinity for paper fibers as well as excellent color constancy under various light sources. Orange FT is a bright orange-brown that provides the basis for highly cost-effective trichromatic dyeings.

Corrosion-Protection Systems

March 5, 2012

Dynasylan Hydrosil and Sivo-Sol are environmentally friendly water-based systems that protect against abrasion and damage from chemicals without the use of chromium VI. They have extremely low levels of volatile organic compounds and can be applied in a thin layer, which reduces overall usage of material. The technology behind these products provides flexibility to allow their use as primers or protective coatings for electroplating, galvanizing, coil and sheet coatings, powder coatings, fasteners, finish sealers, steel furniture and appliances.

STEEL IT stainless-steel epoxy system

March 5, 2012

Comprised of an epoxy primer and a finish coating with Type 316L stainless steel leafing pigment, the STEEL IT stainless-steel epoxy system creates a gray satin finish that is resistant to water, salt air, detergents and solvents. The system is designed for fabricators and builders of above water railings and other structures facing similar environmental challenges. Durable and chip-resistant, the coating is available by quart or gallon, and can be applied by brush, roller or spray gun.

Corrtec materials

March 5, 2012

Corrtec materials are available in many types of polymers, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Type I and Type II, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polypropylene (PP) formulations, among others. These materials are suitable for chemical handling, air processing, industrial tank construction, pharmaceutical, and wastewater management applications. They are supplied as very large (up to 130 in. wide) sheets.

ALTRON alumina-bonded silicon carbide

March 5, 2012

ALTRON alumina-bonded silicon carbide (SiC) can be precision-cut into shapes that outlast nitride-bonded SiC brick and wear-resistant alloys. Field tests have demonstrated a service life improvement of 200%. Objects made of this material have refractory-like densities, which allows them to undergo repeated thermal cycling without experiencing thermal-shock damage. At the same time, the material maintains the type of very tight porosity that is normally found only in dense, advanced ceramics. It can be used in the processing and transport of slurry, ore, ash, coal, coke, and catalysts.

Lumicene M3382MZ low-density polypropylene (PP) resin

March 5, 2012

Lumicene M3382MZ low-density polypropylene (PP) resin is made by combining Total’s proprietary metallocene technology with Milliken’s high-performance NX8000 clarifying agent. The resulting material has superior clarity and gloss and is a cost-effective substitute for other clear plastics, such as polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It has an ultra-low extractables content and improved taste and odor characteristics, and it complies with U.S.

Metcar 1515 mechanical-grade copper bearings

March 5, 2012

Metcar 1515 mechanical-grade copper bearings operate without lubrication in dry and dust-prone environments at temperatures up to 750°F. The bearings are non-galling and dimensionally stable, and they have high compressive strength and excellent chemical resistance and conductivity. They can be used in the construction of bearing and thrust washers for use in kilns, kiln cars, oven dryers, dust and fume collectors, ventilating dampers, furnaces and conveyors.

Silplus MP multipurpose silicone elastomers

March 5, 2012

Silplus MP multipurpose silicone elastomers can be compounded and blended to achieve desired properties, and are versatile for use in a wide variety of applications and processing equipment. Silplus EX silicone elastomers are stronger than the MP models, offering excellent extrusion performance. Silplus HS silicone elastomers have an even higher strength for use in very demanding applications.
