Loading ...It’s the beginning of December. Have you started to make your list for Santa yet? Perhaps these new products will appear under the office Christmas tree:
See Flo is a new fixed-ratio, positive displacement, meter-mix dispense system
See Flo. No, we’re not telling you to look at a person or a moving river. It’s the name of Sealant Equipment & Engineering, Inc.’s new fixed-ratio, positive displacement, meter-mix dispense system for manual and automated adhesive and sealant applications in the production and assembly of glass, metal, plastic and composite materials. The See-Flo 1100 system can be used for such applications as potting transformers, sealing insulating glass, bonding solar panel modules, bonding wind blades, product assembly bonding or sealing applications and self-contained mobile dispensing units. The system meters low- to high-viscosity two-component materials such as epoxies, urethanes, silicones and acrylics supplied by pumps or pressure tanks.
If you’re sitting back in your office chair, it may have been made with Chemlon 217 GI. Chem Polymer, a unit of Teknor Apex Company, developed the 17 percent glass fiber-reinforced nylon 6 compound, which the company says provides a combination of strength and stiffness required for injection molded applications that undergo challenging dynamic forces. The company noted that a customized formulation of the compound has already been used commercially for the one-piece molded inner shells of office chairs. Other potential applications include outdoor power equipment, outboard motor covers, and gun stock components. The compound is impact modified and UV stabilized, making it suitable for outdoor and low-temperature environments.
Triton Systems now offers Cryo-Carbon. It’s not a frozen composite, but rather a new carbon-carbon composite material comprised of 70 percent graphite flakes, which allows increased thermal conductivity for extreme heat dissipation applications. The company says the material offers two-dimensional conductivity, providing increased thermal performance throughout the composite surface. The composites can be molded into continuous shapes and machined to accommodate interface tolerances for heat sinks and other heat dissipative devices.
After washing your hands with their dish soap, check out The Dow Chemical Company’s enhanced linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) resin for high-throughput lamination and protective film applications such as films used on glass, plastic sheet, appliances or consumer electronics products. XZ 89446.00 Polyethylene Resin can be used alone or in blends with low density polyethylene. It is designed to lower energy consumption by enabling processing at lower temperatures. It is also meant to leverage higher throughput efficiency to help improve the unit cost of producing films and help reduce wear and tear costs for conversion equipment as a result of processing with lower extruder pressures.
