We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Volatile Organic Compounds",
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 PID gas detector is intrinsically safe from
Ion Science, which we summarised at the time by saying "Fixed PID gas detector for detection and monitoring of total volatile organic compounds is ideal for use in manufacturing and process industries".
The same day,
we featured the news release PID instruments enhance VOC detection from
Ion Science: "Superior software features give significant user benefits including data logging, TWTEL averaging and detection capabilities down to parts-per-billion levels".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Rohm and Haas
concerning its Robond Prohesion
- take a look at Adhesive has environmentally advanced formulation
which says: "Water-based acrylic adhesive offers bonding alternative for pressure sensitive adhesive tapes in automobile interior applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Smithers Rapra, Conference targets automotive adhesives,
as well as Vibration analyser used for inaccessible fans from Datastick Systems,
and Environmentally responsible resins released from Sabic Innovative Plastics.
