Industrial Cleaning Using SuperCORR A for maintenance of electrical connectors on generators improves performance by reducing corrosion fretting Getting a handle on germ control New P-Wave products push the boundaries of washroom hygiene. Washroom hygiene specialists, P-Wave has announced the launch of two new patented systems to help reduce the spread of germs from door handles in high risk areas, such as kitchens and washrooms. existing push plate when there is no handle. Both systems are long lasting and low maintenance. They don’t require films, sleeves or gels and instead utilise silver ion technology which interrupts bacteria’s cell’s ability to form the chemical bonds essential to their survival. The new P-Hold fits over the existing door handle – it comes in three sizes and takes just 30 seconds to install – and the P-Plate replaces the Further information is available at: www.p-wave.co.uk or call 01444 220 999 or email [email protected]. Generators are used throughout the world by often in remote dusty and wet environments for essential power supply. Mines, grinding and pulp and paper mills, land or sea drilling rigs for gas and oil production. Generators powering aircraft services while stationary connect and disconnect many times a day in extreme conditions. These locations test connector sealing continuously allowing dust or water to penetrate. This with the flexing of the connecting cables allows sufficient movement between the metal surfaces of the connector pins to produce fretting corrosion which increases interruptions or produces failures. Regular maintenance of electrical connectors is essential to be certain of consistent supply. SuperCORR A is an aerosol lubricant containing corrosion preventive compounds which provide a superior protection for components against moisture, wear, general and fretting corrosion, surface static electricity, corona, and other electro migration problems. A can of SuperCORR A allows this essential maintenance to be carried out in any conditions quickly, easily and securely.

The ‘Who would you hire?’ (www.youtu.be/sjG4GQZm9h0) programme demonstrates that selecting the right wiping solution in manufacturing environments is just like hiring an employee and therefore can positively impact KPI’s, improve productivity, increase operational efficiencies and reduce waste. Who would you hire? is introduced in 2018 for the launch of WypAll* ForceMax and pitches the WypAll* range of industrial cloths against traditional rags and laundered cloths used in plant and manufacturing settings. “Just like hiring a new employee, selecting the right wiping solution can positively impact your KPIs,” explains Simon Justice, Manufacturing Marketing Manager at Kimberly-Clark Professional*. “If your current wiping solution was interviewed, would it get the job?” 52 PECM Issue 32 WypAll* ForceMax, is the latest cloth from Kimberly-Clark Professional* and is designed for superior removal of the toughest, most ingrained, dirt across all types of surfaces. WypAll* ForceMax absorbs 40% more oil than rags and absorbs it five times faster.1 Compared with rags, WypAll* ForceMax reduces disposal waste by up to 78% against average rag usage2. WypAll* ForceMax is made with Kimberly- Clark Professional*’s Hydroknit technology which has been enhanced for this latest product development by blending recycled cotton fibres, cellulose and tear-resistant polypropylene. The result is a perfectly engineered solution with a softer, more cloth-like feel and a more clean consistent cloth compared to rags or laundered cloths. WypAll* ForceMax is thick and super durable and is consistently preferred by users over rags and laundered cloths.3 The embossed cloth provides bulk and extra scrubbing power for tough cleaning tasks without tearing or falling apart. A key message of Who would you hire? is to encourage a transition from laundered cloths and rags to products specifically engineered for industrial cleaning tasks. With long-standing cleaning contracts, manufacturing facilities can often become oblivious to the poor standards of cleanliness of their laundered cloths. In contrast, WypAll* Cloths deliver a clean consistent and high- quality experience every time. www.kcprofessional.co.uk/hirewypall
