We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Hazardous Materials",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Metal chain resists corrosion from
Tsubakimoto UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Tsubaki NEP chain uses a combination of three layers of surface coating, with a highly resistant base layer that bonds a harder wear-resistant coating onto the chain bushes".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Mag-drive pumps extend to smaller applications from
Tapflo (UK): "Single-stage centrifugal magnetic drive pumps offer safe effective pumping of aggressive chemicals and hazardous materials".
In September 2006, we covered the news from SPX Process Equipment
concerning its Biofuel mixing systems
- take a look at Packages mix biofuels safely and traceably
which says: "Bran + Luebbe, an SPX Process Equipment company, is now offering biofuel producers customised production packages for high efficiency and safe product blending".
Take a look also at the news release from Dassault Systemes, Next generation PLM sourcing solutions,
as well as Safety bus system sets the trend from Profibus Group,
and Handheld computers and terminals go RoHS compliant from Two Technologies.
