At K 2019, AGC Chemicals Europe will be showcasing new applications for functionalized fluoropolymers in Hall 7a, Stand C12 as well as further developments in PEEK compounds, fluoroelastomers and ion exchange membranes.
Reactive Fluoropolymers for Innovative Material Combinations
AGC`s functional fluoropolymers, marketed under the Fluon + brand, are based on an innovative technology that allows for functionalization during the polymerization stage. These high-performance polymers that are modified with reactive...
Advanced technology is an integral part of society, with electronic and digital devices becoming ubiquitous. To ensure the integrity of devices ranging from personal electronics, including computers and cell phones, to industrial automation solutions, it is critical that these moisture-sensitive components such as printed circuit boards (PCBs) and surface mount devices (SMDs) are carefully transported and stored. SMDs for instance, are comprised of many powerful and essential processors, chipsets, diodes, transisto...
Across Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, students and teachers are returning to classrooms this month for the start of the new school year. As the school year begins, a healthy indoor environment is crucial for students and faculty to be able to effectively learn and teach.
A key component to a healthy indoor environment is indoor air quality (IAQ). Many root causes of IAQ problems in schools could be prevented through preventive maintenance activities and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently...
During the months of August and September, students and teachers by the millions return to their classrooms. With thousands of school districts, and tens of thousands of educational facilities, what they return to varies dramatically from brand new schools to aging and neglected buildings that are in need of major improvements.
To help ensure an environment with healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) for students and faculty, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced new Preventive Maintenance...
