‘Silicone Sponge’
A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Silicone lubricants for wind energy from
Dow Corning, which we summarised at the time by saying "Silicones from Dow Corning are helping wind energy become one of the world's fastest growing sources of renewable power. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Autoclude offers range of OEM pumps from
Autoclude: "The Verderflex Autoclude OEM range of peristaltic pumps are specified for diverse applications from precise dosing of surgical instrument disinfectant to the dispensing of heavy-duty printing ink.".
In November 2008, we covered the news from Spelsberg els UK
- take a look at Spelsberg offers Bimed cable glands
which says: "Spelsberg now offers the entire range of Bimed cable glands in the UK. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Smithers Rapra, SRT announces 2009 silicone elastomers event,
as well as NewAge releases smaller product catalogues from NewAge Industries,
and Michael Smith launches micro annular gear pumps from Michael Smith Engineers.
