This company now offers isoboride under its Evolution Chemicals line of renewable, biobased ingredients. Isoboride is an industrial ingredient made from corn that can be used as a potential alternative to the petroleum-based chemical bisphenol A (BPA), which is widely used during the manufacture of plastics and other materials.
The Jackson Safety brand has added two new products to its Smith & Wesson line of protective eyewear — the 44 Magnum and the Aviator. The 44 Magnum includes several ergonomic features designed for long-term performance and all-day comfort, including a cut-to-shape, distortion-free, one-piece lens, a flexible nose piece that conforms easily to the individual’s face, and vents at the temples to increase air flow. The Aviator line also includes a sturdy structure with a nylon frame.
Serpent Ventilated Safety Helmets provide optimal protection against head injury while helping to keep workers cool. The CoolSense air-flow system relies on six vents along the peak of the helmet, which promote heat release and prevent heat buildup under the shell. A cushioned brow pad absorbs moisture and perspiration, and a rain trough diverts water from the face, improving comfort and promoting worker compliance. The helmet is lightweight, weighing just 13.1 oz, and has a sleek, “snakehead” shell design.
The PROVALVE has no moving parts, and its rugged, durable construction ensures long tray life. Its design prevents valve leg or deck wear and eliminates the potential for popped, fouled, or stuck valves. Its tapered cover provides a forward lateral push to the liquid across the tray and directs and deflects the vapor. This creates a uniform liquid and vapor distribution with a low, even spray height across the entire deck — preventing liquid backflow, suppressing jet flooding, and accommodating a wide operating range and high vapor rates.
The X.com H20x–Ex GSM mobile phone has rugged construction that protects it from explosion. Based on the well-known Sonim XP3.2 Quest Pro, this mobile phone can be dropped from 6.5 ft onto concrete, submerged in water, covered in dust, and exposed to a temperature range of –5°F to 130°F. It can be used for weeks without charging, and its keyboard touch buttons are tested to function beyond 500,000 pushes. It is certified for Class 1, Division 2 classified areas and features a shockproof Gorilla Glass Lens for scratch and smash resistance.
The retractable Sample Probe Assembly can be used to hot-tap into almost any type of liquid or gas stream. Its typical applications include process analysis, flare stack emissions monitoring, oxygen sampling, potable water quality analysis, wastewater sampling, and chemical injection. The assembly features a plasma-welded stop collar and a variety of probe ends, as well as an optional retaining chain kit.
The AcroPrep Advance 96-well filter plate provides consistency and reproducibility in multiplexing applications. Its improved design ensures uniform filtration rates, lower hold-up volumes, and consistent sample recovery. The optimized outlet-tip design minimizes weeping and the formation of post-filtration hanging drops. The plate’s biologically inert housing minimizes nonspecific binding of target analytes, which maximizes sample recovery.
The FS10A Flow Switch/Monitor continuously verifies flows within liquid or gas process analyzer sampling systems. Depending on the selected configuration, its flow range is 0.1–20 std. ft3/h (50–10,000 cm3/min) in air or 0.001–0.03 gal/min (4–100 cm3/min) in water. Its design features no moving parts, which eliminates the risk of fouling or clogging and reduces maintenance requirements. Unlike capillary bypass flowmeters and controllers, this device has no cavities, orificies or dead-legs that trap fluids and contaminate samples.
These V-Series side-entry belt mixers can handle a wide variety of asphalt mixing applications. They are constructed with steel housings, rigid motor mounts, oversize shafting, piloted dual-tapered roller bearings, and belt drives, and they have large open areas that provide easy access for servicing. Their high-efficiency HYFLO 4-blade impellers and seals can be configured to match user requirements. The mixers are available in 1.5–300 hp sizes, with shaft diameters in the 1.5–6.0-in. range and impellers in the 12–48-in. range
The Chlor*ion meter has an internal ion-specific electrode that digitally monitors surfaces for salt corrosion, instead of an external electrode that is subject to field conditions. Since digital tests do not require a glass titrator tube, the Chlor*ion meter has a lower cost per test. All readings are recorded electronically for lab-quality accuracy and cannot be changed or deleted by the operator. Data can be transferred to a spreadsheet via a USB connection.
