R Ansell introduces world’s thinnest chemical resistant disposable glove

A

nsell, a global leader in protection solutions, announces the introduction of Microflex 93-260, the thinnest chemical resistant, single use glove available on the market today. This breakthrough solution offers tough protection against a broad range of chemicals, while still providing the dexterity and tactility of a thin, disposable glove. The new Microflex 93-260 is a thin, disposable glove designed to offer higher levels of protection against chemicals for longer periods of time than ordinary single use gloves. The glove achieves this through an innovative three-layer design that

resists a wide range of aggressive chemicals. Its exterior nitrile layer delivers maximum protection against several organic solvents, while the soft neoprene middle layer provides acid and base resistance. A final interior layer provides a continual dry feel, while also easing the donning and doffing, or putting on and removing, process. The glove is just 0.19mm thick, so it offers this superior protection while also providing enhanced tactility and dexterity for easy handling of small parts and tools. Visit: www.ansell.eu

LumaSense introduces MCL640 thermal imaging camera

L

umaSense Technologies, Inc. has introduced the MCL640 thermal imaging camera, the next generation in LumaSense’s line of infrared thermal imagers designed specifically for industrial process control and monitoring. The MCL640 camera offers 640 x 480 resolution imaging for long wave infrared applications, producing superior images and temperature measurement (±2 °C). The MCL640 thermal imager resolution is four times greater than the camera it replaces and it offers expanded lens options. These new features combine to provide users with better and more accurate temperature measurement accuracy to improve process control. In addition to the new lenses, the MCL640 camera can be ordered with a number of environmental enclosures enabling accurate and safe operation in the harshest environments. The new Vortex Cooled (VC) enclosure is a heavy-duty housing that can be used in a wide range of industrial applications including steel and paper mills, refineries and automotive parts production. The enclosure accommodates an air purge for use in classified hazardous areas in petrochemical applications. Visit: www.lumasenseinc.com

esearchers at Birmingham City University are hoping to transform the fortunes of magnesium this year, by showcasing it as a viable alternative for luxury car makers and the aerospace industry. It came as the institution signed an exclusive partnership with the world’s largest producer of magnesium components, Meridian. The strategic alliance will see the two organisations work together in the education, research and development of magnesium use, which will place fuel efficiency through weight savings and sustainability at its core. At 1.8g/cm³, magnesium is the lightest of all structural materials, the eighth most abundant chemical element in the earth’s crust and is 100 per cent recyclable. As part of the new partnership with Meridian, academics from Birmingham City University’s Faculty of Computing, Engineering and The Built Environment and personnel from the company will be investigating new ways to offer more sustainable goods for low-volume manufacturers, whilst making production financially viable for Meridian and its potential clients.

Rapid evacuations with audible alarm transmission from Securiton

A

udible voice messages significantly increase the chances of survival in a fire emergency. A recent addition to the Securiton portfolio is a

professional voice alarm system from the Securiton affiliate g+m elektronik AG. These systems are connected directly to the SecuriFire 3000 fire alarm system via a standard-compliant interface and offer the very highest standard of alarm technology. Voice messages are transmitted in perfect quality via an integrated loudspeaker system. These messages can originate either directly from the integrated voice memory of the system, or they can be spoken live into the microphone as the situation demands. The intelligent connection of the voice alarm systems to the fire alarm systems offers unri-

valled advantages. There are no diversions to other systems or contacts, which subsequently reduces the time between fire detection and a targeted voice alarm. People in danger then gain valuable seconds in reaching safety. The integration of the developer and manufacturer g+m elektronik AG into the Securitas Group has resulted in unique synergies from which Securiton customers can benefit. They receive a combined system from a single source that leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to reliability, safety and user-friendliness. Visit: www.securiton.ch Industry Europe 21
