This corrosion inhibitor tackles high-moisture conditions
VpCI-396 is a very hard but flexible corrosion-inhibiting coating that cures in high-humidity conditions. VpCI-396 is a solvent-based moisture-cure urethane that can be used as a direct-to-metal (DTM) primer, and in some cases a topcoat. It provides protection in harsh,…
An upgraded range of mobile dust-control products
The DC Tromb line of dust extractors (photo) features several recently updated models. The recently remodelled versions of the Tromb range meet modern safety requirements while offering ergonomic and modular functions. One of the major updates is that the new…
Chemical-resistant membranes for electrolysis
Forblue S-Series ion-exchange membranes (photo) are designed for electrolysis and electrodialysis applications that require robust chemical-resistance performance. Because they are made from fluorinated resins, all S-Series wet and dry grades ensure chemical resistance and mechanical strength, while providing outstanding current-carrying…

Facts at your Fingertips: Temperature and Rupture Disk Burst Pressure
Rupture disks are non-reclosing pressure-relief devices that protect vessels, such as reactors, from damaging over-pressurization (or vacuum) conditions. Temperature can affect rupture-disk burst pressures in ways that users should understand before ordering them (Figure 1). This one-page reference provides an…
