Compliance with the OSHA requirement for Grade "D" breathable air can be accomplished with the use of a Quality Air Breathing System. When placed near the point of use, the system will work with the existing compressed air supply. The four stage filtration filters the air, and the on-board carbon monoxide monitor continuously monitors the air quality for compliance with current OSHA standards. Accessories can even increase or decrease the temperature of the air supply for improved user comfort.

TEGO® Wet 290 and TEGO Wet 296 can be used for various substrates such as wood, plastic, and metal surfaces. The main areas of application are waterborne automotive and wood coatings. The two additives differ mainly in their composition: TEGO Wet 290 consists of 100% polyether-modified siloxane and is therefore particularly suitable for formulations with requirements of low-volatile content. TEGO Wet 296 is a 52% solution of a polyether-modified siloxane in DPM (dipropylene glycol-methyl-ether), which works well in low-solids formulations, such as waterborne automotive basecoats.

Customized for shear-sensitive applications with low to medium viscosity, the CDA-200 features a two-wing anchor agitator and two medium-speed agitators, each fit with five rows of three-blade pitched turbines. The mixer was supplied with two portable stainless steel mixing vessels and transport covers for semi-continuous operation, a 4-gallon charging hopper for introducing ingredients to the batch, and a thermoprobe for accurate temperature readings.

The portfolio includes a range of new water-based, solvent-based, and energy-curable pigment dispersions. The company’s new range includes: water-based dispersions (low-no VOC, APEO-free, binder-free, high pigment loading), solvent-based dispersions (broadly compatible acrylic resin systems, with high pigment loading and optimal rheological properties), and energy-curable dispersions (100%-solids, low-curing energy, broadly compatible systems, available for multiple oligomers and various degrees of functionality).

STEELGUARD® 951 is an epoxy intumescent fire protection coating designed to meet the demands of modern architectural steel, including up to three hours of cellulosic fire protection. In a fire situation, the coating expands from a thin, lightweight film into a thick, foam-like layer that insulates the steel and maintains its structural integrity, providing more time for people to escape, and limiting damage to buildings and assets.

The CM-26dG spectrophotometer is a portable sphere spectrophotometer with an integrated 60° gloss sensor allowing distinct color and appearance measurements within one instrument. CM-26dG spectrophotometer horizontal alignment can fit into narrow spaces and is convenient for high-precision color and gloss measurement of smooth or textured samples. The CM-CT1 configuration tool software allows users to create/write instrument settings, as well as compile it into a file and share it within its supply chain to ensure instrument settings are consistent.

The kit provides a complete solution for evaluating the environmental conditions prior to painting, as well as measuring the dry film thickness of the coating after application in accordance with SSPC PA-2. This convenient field test kit includes a dry film thickness gauge, thermo-anemometer, moisture meter, IR thermometer, and a sturdy carrying case.

The Verderflex Dura 80 peristaltic pump is designed for a wide range of applications in the process industry. The pump has a flow rate of 42 m³/h and a maximum differential pressure of 16 bar, making it an ideal solution for high-flow applications. New features include a lifting point for supporting the front cover if it needs removal, a lubricant filling point to allow easy access for this task without requiring removal of other bolting, and an access cover at the bottom of the front panel to allow cleaning of any debris during hose change to ensure that the new hose has the best life.
