Handling Highly Active Ingredients
.Cleanability is not just a matter of adding spray balls to existing equipment, notes Andre Petric, manager for material handling systems at Glatt Air Techniques (Ramsey, N.J.). Every aspect of equipment must be designed from the start for cleanability. For years, Glatt has specialized

Reinforced Plastics Make Metals Look Weak
. The thin blade design was made possible due to the high stiffness and impact resistance of the CFRTP material. Powder coated with melt-fusible thermoplastic particles, the continuous-fiber filaments are woven into fabrics or braid, formed into semirigid unidirectional tapes or ribbons, or laminated

I want my MVT
into it. This property is expressed as the moisture-vapor-transmission rate (MVTR). The greater concentration gradient provides a stronger driving force for the MVT, thus creating a wicking action in the material. A variety of moisture-vapor-permeable films for medical and garment applications are now available from

The expanding role of shrink tubing
Shrinkable material doesn't just come as tubing anymore. It can take the form of molded shapes and even fabric. Single-walled heat-shrinkable tubing comes in a variety of diameters and colors to insulate contacts, isolate wiring, and blend in with the color scheme ofconsumer goods. Heavy-duty

Thermoset Composites
networks in the cured part. The early high-performance thermoset-matrix materials were called advanced composites, differentiating them from the glass/polyester composites that were emerging commercially in the 1950s. The "advanced" term has come to denote, to most engineers, a resin-matrix material
