pany said. 3M stain-resistant additives
and sealers can be used on their own, as
penetrating sealers or formulated into a
variety of coatings, adhesives and other
construction materials to add repellency
and stain release characteristics.
3M offers low cost micro
milling media
3M has made available an experimental
product, 3M Micro Milling Media ZGC,
an ultra low cost alternative to Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Beads used in high energy mills. The offering can meet the
needs for performance-driven, economical nanoparticle dispersions, and help reduce cost and investment in process
equipment for those needing to obtain
very fine particle sizes using micro milling
media, the company said. 3M Micro
Milling Media ZGC high density ( 5. 8
g/cc) grinding media is as strong and as
wear resistant as Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Beads, the company said. Due to its
nanocrystalline microstructure (~ 50 - 100
nm) these micro beads feature low friction smooth surfaces and excellent
sphericity. 3M Micro Milling Media ZGC
is available in three sizes: 50, 75 and 100
micron. They are ideal for use in the
milling of pigments, inks, dyes, paints and
coatings, as well as ceramic powders and
nanodispersions.
Phoseon Technology introduces
UV LED lamps with 16W/cm2
peak irradiance
Phoseon Technology has introduced the
FirePower product family with three curing length options, a 150x20 mm, a
225x20mm, and a 300x20mm solution.
The water-cooled FirePower family allows new applications in the wide-format
digital segment while also allowing system builders to increase their speed in
other applications.
Utilizing Phoseon’s patented SLM tech-
nology, the latest FirePower family pro-
vides customers with: high power 16
W/cm2 of UV LED light for maximum
UV energy; sophisticated control
electronics for simple system in-
tegration; and advanced struc-
tural capability for improved
field serviceability.
Charles Ross & Son offers dual
shaft mixers
Charles Ross & Son Company offers
Ross Dual-Shaft Mixers, which are ideal
for processing pastes, gels, suspensions,
slurries and other viscous formulations.
Composed of two independently driven
agitators working in tandem, this system
is designed for heavy-duty mixing with
the capability of fine-tuning shear levels
and flow patterns. The high-speed disperser draws powders into the liquid
batch through a powerful vortex and rapidly disperses any lumps and agglomerates. The low speed anchor agitator
promotes bulk flow and uniform batch
temperature, “feeding” the disperser
blade with fresh product while constantly
scraping the vessel surfaces. CW
