Herausragender Erfolg für Nanogel® transparente Aerogel-Tageslichtpaneele in erster europäischer Installation

Tageslichtleistung

Als Parameter für den Tageslichtquotienten hatten die Baupläne einen Wert von 0,03 bis 0,05 bzw. 3% bis 5% vorgegeben. Dies ist über die Länge einer Sporthalle mit normaler Befensterung eher schwer zu erreichen. Dennoch, und obwohl die bebaute Fläche der Buchwiesen-Sporthalle unter der Bodengleiche liegt, wurde der geforderte Tageslichtquotient über die gesamte Hallenfläche hin- weg erfüllt und zur Mitte hin sogar etwas übertroffen. Testmessungen am Ort der ersten europäischen Installation von Nanogel® transparenten Aerogel-Tageslichtelementen in einer Schulsporthalle in Buchwiesen, Zürich, haben die positiven Erwartungen des Architekten, Arnold Amsler, voll erfüllt. Die Halle profitiert von der gleichmäßig hellen Lichtstreuung der Paneele und bietet den Benutzern im Winter wie im Sommer ein dauerhaft behagliches Raumklima.

Four New Products from GE Advanced Materials Enhance Performance, Versatility of Personal Care Formulations

New GE Silicone-Based Products for Personal Care Formulations

Tropical extracts, aromatic essences, and organic nutrients often get top billing on the labels of personal care products. However, manufacturers competing for shelf space in this sector recognize that superior formulations also require the use of high-performance – though less glamorous – materials. With this demand for greater performance in mind, GE Advanced Materials has launched four new silicone-based products that help offer enhanced performance and greater versatility to personal care formulations. These include: Silsoft* Tone (AB)n terpolymer, a multifunctional hair conditioning agent that can be added to shampoos and leave-on hair conditioners; Silsoft A-553, a 100-percent active (AB)n terpolymer designed to deliver premium conditioning benefits to hair; SilShine* 151 silicone resin, an excellent multi-functional, film-forming material that helps deliver visually perceptible high gloss to lips and hair; and SF 1540 emulsifier, a water-in-oil product with high actives content, which helps to provide formulators with more room in the oil phase for pigments, sunscreens, actives, emollients, and other ingredients critical for cosmetics and ultra-high SPF lotions.

The Beverage Industry Can Now Rely on ISBM PP Bottles for Packaging its Products

The Beverage Industry Can Now Rely on ISBM PP Bottles for Packaging its Products. For many years companies have dreamed of using clarified PP with the same process used for PET; specifically the injection of pre-forms which are then stretched and blown to form low-cost bottles, with perfect transparence, and able to be Hot Fill packaged. Recent technical developments in resin formulation and the design of pre-forms, as well as state-of-the-art blowing equipment, allow us to announce that clarified PP is ready to give us another wonderful surprise.
