An acrylic binder designed for use with low-VOC paints
Rhoplex 800h acrylic binder was created to allow for early hardness development in low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints. The controlled polymer-morphology technology employs hard, soft and functional monomers in a single waterborne acrylic binder to help improve hardness and block…
Temperature measurement
HART-compatible transmitter eases temperature monitoring Industrial sensors monitor temperature or pressure abnormalities by comparing the process conditions with pre-programmed setpoints in a PLC or DCS controller. The HART-compatible One Series 1XTXSW transmitter line (photo) is said to be the first…
Membrane filtration with built-in advantages
This company’s polypropylene (PP) spiral membranes (photo) are said to be more compact than alternatives, and thus provide a larger filtration area for a better performance and the possibility to produce a wider product range. These membranes deliver sustainable benefits,…
TDL analyzer series is expanded for refining applications
Four additions have been added to this company’s portfolio of tunable-diode-laser (TDL) spectrometers (photo). The GPro 500 has been available for O2, CO and moisture measurement. Now, models for O2 plus temperature, CO%, CO2%, and a combined CO2% plus CO%…
Optimize chemical addition in cloth-media filters
The IntelliPro filtration optimization system (photo) is a PC-based control system for this company’s cloth-media filters that uses realtime data to optimize chemical addition to meet phosphorus-removal objectives. The system features automatic, optimal-dose selection for metal salts, polymer and pH-adjusting…
Avoid pelletization with this twin screw extruder
The ZSE-27 MAXX “direct-to-sheet” system (photo) facilitates rapid inline compounding and production of prototype sheet samples. Benefits of direct-sheet extrusion include the product having one less heat and shear history, and the economic savings inherent with bypassing the pelletization step.…
HDPE thread protectors that can be easily installed and removed
The thread-protecting SSR Series standard sucker-rod cap (photo) is designed to withstand impact and prevent cracking. Constructed of a strong, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material to protect the threaded ends of steel sucker rods, the wide internal ribs of the cap…
Inhibit corrosion with this new vinyl-ester-resin system
Flowchem is a new range of seamless, elastomer-modified vinyl-ester-resin systems that act as a barrier to inhibit the contact between chemical compounds or corrosive materials. Flowchem systems provide temperature resistance of up to 350°F, and exhibit high bond strength, abrasion…
