DO WE TRULY CARE ABOUT POLLUTION ?
SCIENCE KEEPS ADVANCING - AND SO SHOULD WE
TIME TO CHANGE AWAY FROM “ DIRTY ” DESICCANTS
It takes around 20 tonnes of water to process just 1 tonne of 3A zeolite powder .
Most of the world ’ s zeolites originate in the Far East , they start life as 4 Angstrom material before being subjected to an ion exchange process to become ( mostly ) 3A . That highly polluted process water o�en gets dumped back untreated in to land and rivers . Authori�es have been shu�ng down factories and imposing huge fines . Zeolite-based molecular sieve may have been the best choice for selec�ve adsorp�on in insula�ng glass in the past , but that is no longer so . It certainly is not the best choice for our planet .
New high performance zeolite-free desiccants specifically for IGU manufacture have already been perfected based on refined 3A crystalline calcium oxide powder . Locally mined , environmentally clean , a natural product with a higher ac�vity and capacity than any zeolite .
No waste-water pollutants or CO2 air pollutants are generated in the produc�on , and it does not need to be shipped from the other side of the world .
Zeolite produc�on is environmentally dirty , and desiccants based on them are yesterday ’ s technology , over 40 years old . It is �me to move on .
ashton-industrial . com meets and exceeds all requirements of EN1279:2018 AWAC > 16 % LOI < 1.7 % at RH9 % Delta-T > 50C
NANOMOL-C is the clean technology for today and for the future , the perfect opportunity for IG manufacturers to improve their products while saving some serious money … and the planet !

NEW AND IMPROVED BI-FOLD DOOR SYSTEM
» THE SCHÜCO ASS 70 FD bi-fold system has long been a mainstay of both residential and commercial buildings – and now Schüco has improved its technical values . The ASS 70 FD system is available in a more diverse range of vent widths , meaning fewer vents are needed and therefore fewer aluminium sightlines .
The thermally insulated Schüco ASS 70 FD bi-fold system offers a wide choice of opening types , is fully adjustable , has even larger opening widths and extremely quiet movement . The new maximum vent width of 1500 mm is available in an HD design for Schüco ASS 70 FD bi-fold units . Furthermore , the maximum vent weight has increased to 150 kg .
The new technical values have been achieved to offer class-leading sightlines and features while continuing to meet the quality , specifications and expectations of the original Schüco ASS 70 FD system .
Other new features and benefits include a 90 ° corner opening that opens both inwards and outwards . There is also a new flat threshold profile with optimised drainage , a magnetic retaining catch to facilitate vent locking and a screw-fixed corner and T-cleats for easier on-site installation . Additionally , the new ASS 70 FD system has been PAS 24 tested . These improvements offer further aesthetic benefits such as greater transparency due to minimal aluminium sightlines .
All of these improvements are advantageous to both the fabricator and the customer . Fewer vents mean less fabrication time , which in turn means a lower overall cost for the customer .
The original Schüco ASS 70 FD already offers additional design options thanks to the opening type with a 90 ° corner . These improvements offer further aesthetic benefits such as greater transparency due to minimal aluminium sightlines .
Furthermore , the ASS 70 FD system previously required 4 panels , but the bigger vents have made is possible for the system to achieve the same size door as a 3-panel model .
