Dow Corning - MolykoteMIDLAND, Mich. – March 25, 2004 – With a unique combination of an aluminum complex thickener, white lubricating solids and other highly effective additives, Molykote® White Bearing Grease reduces friction, prevents metal-to-metal contact and minimizes wear in food grade applications, even under high surface pressures and marginal lubrication conditions.

GE ADVANCED MATERIALS BROADENS PORTFOLIO FOR ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY WITH NEW FLEXIBLE NORYL® RESIN FOR WIRE COATING

GE Advanced Materials today introduced a new family of halogen-free, flexible NORYL® modified-polyphenylene ether (MPPE) resin as an alternative to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), flame-retarded polyethylene (FR-PE), and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) in wire-coating applications for the direct-current (DC) cord and plug segments of the consumer electronics industry.  BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands — Feb. 2, 2004 — GE Advanced Materials today introduced a new family of flexible NORYL® modified-polyphenylene ether (MPPE) resin as an alternative to polyvinyl chloride (PVC), flame-retarded polyethylene (FR-PE), and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) in wire-coating applications for the direct-current (DC) cord and plug segments of the consumer electronics industry. The new products –
NORYL WCD910 and NORYL WCP860 resins – have passed bending-strength tests by charger manufacturers, address eco-label flame-retardant application concerns, and, unlike PVC, contain no halogens, such as chlorine, which can break down into dioxins and toxic, highly acidic gasses when burned. The new GE resins also offer a lower specific gravity than FR-PE and TPU – weight reductions of 20 to 30 percent are achievable – as well as faster extrusion rates for potentially higher productivity and lower systems costs.

AR™HT van Greene Tweed: nieuw composietmateriaal voor topprestaties bij hoge temperaturen

Greene TweedAR™HT van Greene, Tweed & Co Benelux is een nieuw composiet materiaal, speciaal ontwikkeld voor bussen, lagers en slijtringen in pompen die extreem schurende, waterige substanties moeten verpompen bij temperaturen tot 135°C. Het is een doorontwikkeling van het bestaande AR materiaal, maar beter bestand is tegen hogere temperaturen, tegen thermische shock en is zeer slagvast, waardoor het een uitstekend alternatief is voor de meer traditionele rubber en bronzen materialen in de pompen voor de offshore industrie en in boilerfeed-pompen van nutsbedrijven.
