Products l Services High horsepower five-diaphragm pumps eliminates expenses Clariant’s colour creativity for medical devices wanner international has launched a clariant is introducing an integrated new range of hydra-cell seal-less, high design concept from the Mevopur family horsepower, quintuplex diaphragm of compliant masterbatches and pumps that it claims eliminates the expense associated with seals and packing, compounds, intended to increase the leakage, external lubrication, and emissions. creative use of colour in the healthcare achieving flow rates of up to 595 lpm and pressures up to 241 bar, the pumps have market. low npsh requirements, allowing for operation with a vacuum condition on the suction – positive suction pressure is not necessary. “us studies indicate only 28% patientadherence to treatment programs and hydra-cell Q155 series pumps can operate with a closed or blocked suction line and run dry indefinitely without damage, eliminating downtime and repair costs. the diaphragm design is said to handle solids up to 800 microns along with the companies are looking for ways to make their devices more attractive and easier to use,” said steve duckworth, clariant’s minute abrasive particles that cause wear in gear, screw or plunger pumps while the global head, healthcare polymer compact design and double-ended shaft provide a variety of installation options. solutions. “if special effects such as having five diaphragms in a single pump head guarantees virtually pulseless flow and tests have shown that these pumps are able to handle shear sensitive liquids pearlescents or metallics have successfully improved consumer appeal better than rotary positive displacement pumps. in consumer goods, why not in medical www.hydra-cell.eu devices?” Thermally conductive adhesives meet today’s energy and electrical engineeringdemands in healthcare applications has been the latest applications in energy and electrical engineering require ever-higher levels masterbatches or compounded materials until recently, use of these effects limited because they lacked regulatory documentation. however, all raw-material ingredients used in the new of thermal conductivity, which is why a new generation of thermally conductive two- have been pre-tested to usp parts 87 and part epoxy adhesives has been introduced by intertronics. 88 (class Vi devices) and iso10993 and the new high performance adhesives offer declarations that support regulatory compliance. in the next few years, regulations in offer excellent thermal conductivity, so usa and europe will force medical device enhancing the companies to implement unique device effectiveness of heat identifiers (udi), which requires a unique paths found in serial number or code marked directly on applications such as led medical devices. according to clariant, heat sink attachment, fast, reliable and permanent marking can chip assembly, be achieved by activation of the polymer encapsulation, potting of to nd-YaG laser. thermal sensors, www.clariant.com assembly of power module, the bonding and potting of battery cells and electric motors. they can help optimise production processes with a choice of accelerated thermal cures in about 15 minutes or 24 hours at room temperature. polytec tc 433, an advanced semi-rigid boron nitride filled adhesive, features 2w/mK thermal conductivity and a glass transition around 110°c after thermal curing, withstanding up to 220°c continuous operation temperature. www.intertronics.co.uk/thermally-conductive-epoxies www.paintandresintimes.com PAINT&RESIN TIMES 17
