PHOSEON TECHNOLOGY
Near-Infrared LED Lamps
FireJet™ and FireEdge™ NIR Explorer near-infrared lamps reportedly offer technology advances for curable adhesives, 3D printing, and pinning on low migration applications. According to the company, the near-infrared LED lamps provide customers with a small form factor, instant on/off, and lower power consumption compared to traditional NIR lamps.
“Phoseon’s cutting edge NIR LED systems are ideal for novel NIR curable adhesives and R&D on such applications,” said Simon Reissmann, technical marketing engineer. “Further, this technology has shown potential in pinning and improving print quality on water-based and hybrid inks (low migration) in inkjet printing before the final curing stage.”
CHARLESS ROSS & SON CO.
Vacuum-Rated Double-Cone Tumble Blenders
The model DCB double-cone tumble blender is designed for large-scale yet intimate blending of free-flowing solids in a full suite of laboratory, pilot, and production sizes. In a highly repeatable process, according to the company, minor and micro ingredients are thoroughly distributed throughout the batch more gently than in the more common V-shaped geometry without damaging fragile or sensitive components.
Rated for vacuum up to 29.5”Hg, the jacketed 75-cu-ft model DCB-75 double-cone tumble blender shown here reportedly heats and dries product with superior efficiency as it is being blended. Other features include gas purging capability, a 16-in. pneumatically operated discharge valve, five-passage rotary union, explosion-proof brake motor, and PLC controls.
MULE-HIDE PRODUCTS CO. INC.
Polyurethane Roofing Sealant
The Seal-Fast® Liqui-Flash polyurethane roofing sealant reportedly seals complex details quickly and permanently. The company reports that the product is easy to use and provides excellent adhesion, elongation, and tensile strength, offering a versatile maintenance and repair solution.
The one-component, 100% solids, non-shrink, polyurethane sealant can be used in typical and difficult-to-access applications, including flashings, skylights, pitch pockets (filling and sealing), inlaid gutters, air conditioners, brick ties, roof vents, penetrations, ductwork, roof hatches, chimneys, and seams. It is compatible with a wide range of substrates, such as metal, polyurethane foam, aged smooth asphalt, aged modified bitumen, aged PVC, and aged EPDM.
BOSTIK
Hygiene Adhesive Technology
StayX™ adhesive technology has been developed for the feminine hygiene market. According to the company, the technology delivers best-in-class stay-in-place performance, as verified by Staybility™, a patent-pending test designed by Bostik to fill a gap in the typical product development testing process.
Pads with StayX reportedly remove cleanly from fabrics and have a stable peel performance across temperatures. The adhesive performance is not affected by the presence of perfume. Most notable for consumer satisfaction, pads with StayX adhesive technology stay in place during typical movements of life, ensuring a comfortable and reliable experience for consumers.
DELO AND INFOTECH
3D Printing System
DELO has collaborated with Infotech on a 3D printing system that features a dispensing unit that can be equipped with up to three different dispensing valves. Depending on the properties of the printing media and the structures to be dispensed, users can choose from a variety of established dispensing valves, like jet valves, time-pressure valves, or screw dispensing systems. Each valve sits on a separate vertical axis.
Since the dispensing heads can be operated in parallel, it is possible to combine different liquid materials in one printing process. Linear axes and integrated real-time control ensure maximum dispensing precision.
