The TriArmor corrosion protection system features a new material of construction that extends the life of cold water basins — critical components of a cooling tower. The system exceeds the corrosion resistance of stainless steel with a more affordable price. It is resistant to all water chemistries and water treatment chemicals, and is impervious to high chloride levels. The system is backed with a 5-yr leak-and-corrosion warranty for all cold water basins applications.

The InVinCer lines of high-performance advanced silicon carbide products are available in both reaction-bonded (SiSiC) and recrystallized (RSiC) materials. The SiSiC offers excellent wear, chemical, oxidation and thermal shock resistance, and the highest thermal conductivity to its maximum use temperature of 1,380°C. Available products include rollers, beams, posts, burner nozzles, pump components, crucibles, mechanical seals, micronizers, cyclones and sand blasting nozzles, in addition to others. Custom shapes are also available upon request.

With a glass transition temperature of 265°C and a heat deflection temperature of 255°C, this new aromatic sulfone polymer offers the highest heat resistance of any transparent amorphous thermoplastic polymer commercially available today. The SUPRADEL HTS features good strength, stiffness and dielectric properties over a wide temperature range, as well as resistance to acids and bases, and to hydrolysis by hot water and steam.

The catASium T family consists of proprietary, patentpending ligands for the production of special enantiomerically pure substances essential for the manufacture of active ingredients in the pharmaceuticals industry. It is especially useful for the enantioselective hydrogenation of poorly substituted enamides and beta-amino acid precursors, and displays unusually high selectivities for these syntheses. catASium T is based on terpenes like camphor, which makes it easily accessible.

This spray system applies KALCRET-S wear compound to large surfaces quickly and reliably to reduce wear and abrasion, and handle high temperature. With the new spray technique, highstrength KALCRET-S can be sprayed horizontally and vertically to achieve a jointless lining. The sprayed-on surface can be worked to attain a smooth surface. KALCRET-S is a mixture of hard aggregate materials ranging in size from 0–4 mm and consisting of bauxite or corundum (depending on application), cement binder and micro silica. Defined amounts of steel fibers add structural strength.

This new line of heaters uses direct steam injection to rapidly and accurately heat water and water-based slurries in a variety of process applications, such as boiler feedwater preheating, heating fibrous slurries for pulp stock and biomass treatment, paper-starch processing, sanitization and tank cleaning, anaerobic treatment of organic waste, and others. By using all of the sensible and latent heat of steam to heat the fluid, these systems can provide heating equal to that of an indirect heat exchanger with 20–30% less energy consumption.

The Lab Companion SKC Series high-capacity, high-speed shakers have a newly engineered drive mechanism, enabling the uniform shaking of flasks, tubes and bottles at high loads at high speeds. A large selection of models is available with speeds up to 500 rpm and a maximum orbit of 2.8 in. (70 mm), depending on platform size and stroke diameter. Programmable motion control, LED displays, unbalanced load sensors, and self-protecting cut-off function make these shakers versatile and safe.

The Biochrom Asys Expert Plus is a standalone multi-channel microplate reader that enables life science researchers to run a variety of microplate assays in parallel. The device can accommodate flat-, round-, or V-bottomed plates, and can store up to 120 methods and the results of up to 100 plates. Four shaking modes ensure complete mixing of solutions, allowing cells to stay in suspension, homogenizing colored solutions, and providing an equal, stable liquid meniscus in all wells.

The Apex line of personal air-sampling pumps has been expanded to include two intrinsically safe versions — the Apex Standard I.S. and the Apex Pro I.S. Fully compliant with ATEX 100 (94/9/EC) and UL 913 ANSI standards, the new versions allow occupational hygienists and specialists to carry out personal and area sampling for gases, vapors, fumes and dusts in hazardous, classified areas where potentially explosive environments may be present. When used with a low-flow adapter assembly, the pumps have flowrates between 5 and 200 mL/min.

The new Flame 100 Safety Burner is said to provide a safe alternative to traditional Bunsen or alcohol burners for laboratory applications. The 15-mL precision flame allows for safe sterilization of microbiological instruments. The device is activated by the push of a button and requires no match or pilot flame. Alternatively, the burner can be activated via foot pedal or external infrared motion sensor. Flame size and intensity can be adjusted. The burner is suitable for fixed natural gas and propane/butane gas supplies and gas cartridges or cylinders.
