Spill Kits

These all-in-one, professional-grade spill kits are designed to contain and clean up hazardous material spills in a range of industrial settings. Each kit contains a supply of absorbent pads, pillows, universal snakes, booms, protective gloves, oil-resistant high-temperature disposal bags, and an emergency-response instruction guide. The kits are available in both 65-gal and 95-gal overpacks, which can handle the corresponding volume of liquid, and most come with a 5-gal container of Oil Eater Original cleaner-degreaser to clean surfaces after the spill has been cleaned up.

online Molykote Interactive Troubleshooting Guide

The online Molykote Interactive Troubleshooting Guide provides solutions to 17 common machine component problems, from rolling-element bearings and steel gear wheels in open gears to shaft/hub connections and general maintenance. Placing the cursor over a machine element displays a list of possible lubrication problems for that specific element, and gives possible solutions and product recommendations to solve the problem. Users can download product and safety data sheets as well as locate a distributor near their location.

Plant Maintenance Equipment

This catalog covers an extensive line of tube cleaners, tube cleaning equipment and tube cleaning services that defeat deposit problems ranging from microbiological to manganese and iron, calcium carbonate scale or anything in between. Also included are tube plugs, air-cooled condenser cleaning systems, hydrodrilling services, leak-detection equipment and services, eddy-current testing services, and extensive support services.

Sentino Microbiology Pump

The Sentino Microbiology Pump is designed for microbial analysis of aqueous samples using the membrane filter (MF) technique. The pump draws samples through a membrane filter, and channels filtrate directly to a drain or waste collection. This design ensures that fluid flows in only one direction without the possibility of back-up, thus minimizing the risk of sample contamination. The disposable fluid path can be easily replaced before biofilm buildup becomes a contamination hazard or creates a false positive during analysis.

E40 1.5-in. Air-Operated, Double--Diaphragm Pump

The E40 1.5-in. air-operated, double--diaphragm pump (AODD) offers increased air efficiency and consistent on/off/on reliability through the Elima-Matic air valve system, which allows flowrate and discharge pressure to be varied by adjusting the air supply. The pump can handle fluids ranging from water to slurries containing 90% solids, and is self-priming. The Elima-Matic system can be easily maintained without taking apart the pump’s center section.

Model 060 regenerative turbine Coro-Flo pump

The Model 060 regenerative turbine Coro-Flo pump is designed for continuous duty in single-phase applications. It has a low flow range of 7–22 gpm (26.5–83.8 L/min) and a maximum differential pressure of 150 psig (10.3 bar) at 60 Hz, and it requires only a 5-hp motor. Two mounting options are available — a frame mount for direct- and belt-drive configurations, and a direct mount that bolts to a standard C-face, 60-Hz, 3,450-rpm motor. Ideal applications include cylinder filling, bulk transfer, direct burner feed, vaporizer feed, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) dispensing.

VersiJet series Air-Operated Diaphragm Pumps

The VersiJet series high-capacity air-operated diaphragm pumps have a five-chamber design and feature heavy-duty motor brushes that significantly lengthen pump life. Three models with capacities of 4, 5, and 6 gpm provide pressures up to 70 psi (4.8 bar), and have self-priming capabilities up to 10 ft (wetted).

Ingeo M700 lactide

The Ingeo lactide and biopolymer product line has been extended with the addition of a high-purity, polymer-grade lactide rich in the stereoisomer meso-lactide. Ingeo M700 lactide can be used as an intermediate for copolymers, amorphous oligomers and polymers, grafted substrates, resin additives and modifiers, adhesives, coatings, elastomers, surfactants, thermosets, and solvents. Ingeo M700 is said to be a lower-cost alternative to high-priced racemic lactides and L- and D-lactides for a host of industrial applications.

Elastosil LR 3011/50 FR and Elastosil LR 3170/40

Previous liquid silicone rubbers owed their flame retardancy to inert fillers such as quartz, which caused abrasion during the injection molding process. In contrast, Elastosil LR 3011/50 FR and Elastosil LR 3170/40 are formulated with inert fillers that contain no abrasive additives. Because they exhibit considerably less abrasive behavior during injection molding, maintenance needs are reduced and the useful life of the mold is extended.

Aclar UltRx 6000 film

The Aclar UltRx 6000 film protects sensitive medicines from moisture in hot and humid climates, allowing pharmaceutical producers to standardize their product packaging with a single packaging film that will work in all regions of the world. This clear film can also help reduce drug package sizes by up to 55% compared with traditional cold-formed foil. Aclar UltRx 6000 is a 6-mil, 152-mm thermoformable film that is biochemically inert, chemical resistant, nonflammable, and plasticizer- and stabilizer-free, and it provides extremely low moisture vapor transmission rates.
