AESTHETICS, WEATHERABILITY AND COST REDUCTION SOUNDS GOOD FOR SIRENS

GE PlasticsCost reduction, weight savings, aesthetics and weatherability performance are key drivers in the selection of materials for electronic sirens.

In negotiating the balance between these diverse but interrelated demands, SIRENA chose GE Advanced Materials’ GELOY XTW resin as the optimal solution for the housing of its most recent line of electronic sirens for police, ambulance, fire brigade and other emergency service vehicles.

STRIX ADOTTA STANYL® DI DSM PER I CONNETTORI TERMICI UTILIZZATI NELLA NUOVA MACCHINA DA CAFFÈ ESPRESSO BODUM

Stanyl® TE250F6, una poliammide 46 (PA46) rinforzata con il 30% di fibre di vetro e resistente alle alte temperature, è il materiale scelto per la combinazione interruttore/luce ed attuatore della Macchina per Caffè espresso Bodum. Stanyl® TE250F6 di DSM Engineering Plastics, una poliammide 46 (PA46) rinforzata con il 30% di fibre di vetro e resistente alle alte temperature, è il materiale scelto per la combinazione interruttore/luce ed attuatore della Macchina per Caffè espresso Bodum. Dietro la fascia decorativa, un dispositivo termostatico attiva un’asticella che controlla la levetta di rotazione del sistema di controllo di riscaldamento dell'acqua della macchina da caffè Strix U44, saldato alla base dell’apparecchio. Poiché la levetta di azionamento in Stanyl è collocata necessariamente vicino alla fonte di calore della macchina da caffè, il design ha sfruttato le proprietà meccaniche di questo materiale. Queste includono un’elevata resistività elettrica di superficie e volumetrica, rigidità e resistenza a temperature fino a 140 gradi, resistenza alla fatica e stampabilità.

DOW CORNING PUBLISHES RESULTS OF INDEPENDENT RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTING MAJOR DIFFERENCES IN ADVANCED FLUOROELASTOMER TECHNOLOGY

DOW CORNING PUBLISHES RESULTS OF INDEPENDENT RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTING MAJOR DIFFERENCES IN ADVANCED FLUOROELASTOMER TECHNOLOGY MIDLAND, Mich. USA – (December 13, 2004) – Dow Corning has published independent research entitled FSRs in Extreme Applications which highlights the continuing evolution of fluorosilicone rubber (FSR) technology, describing laboratory results comparing the performance of Silastic® brand LS 5-2060 and LS-2860 FSR from Dow Corning against conventional FKM compounds. In addition, the research outlines the opportunities these FSR materials represent for more cost-effective, high-performance elastomer applications that require superior chemical, fuel, and oil resistance; good abrasion resistance; and excellent performance at extreme temperatures.

Antibacterial Electrical Products Available Now

Bacteria present on our hands is transferred to a light switch once we touch it, bacteria accumulate on the switch and propagate. The bacteria are then transmitted to the next person who touches the switch. There can be many transfers and transmissions of infectious diseases through this method especially in public location. Polygiene technology from Perstorp AB of Sweden has been proven to kill many bacteria on contact and by doing so helps break the transmission path of disease. Although we use many different switches every day not many people realize that the switches they touch can also transmit disease.

Making Sanitary Ware Really Hygienic

In response to the growing international concern over the spread of diseases and infections such as SARS-CoV, Polygiene™ was developed by Perstorp for use in applications requiring even higher sanitary levels than in the past. Not only are device manufacturers showing interest in this material, but hotel chains, hospitals and clinics, restaurants, airports, public buildings, and mass-transit operations are becoming increasingly interested, as well. At the 3rd China International Green Building Materials Exhibition Perstorp AB, of Sweden, is displaying a range of its customers sanitary ware products which incorporate Polygiene™ an antibacterial technology developed by the company which has been proven to kill many kinds of bacteria and virus, including the SARS corona virus. Products incorporating Polygiene breaks the transmission path of many diseases by killing bacteria and viruses on contact.
