MAT ABSORBS UP TO THREE
LITRES OF FLUIDS
MEWA, the textile service
specialist, is proud to announce
the launch of the MEWA
MULTITEX® hazardous fluid
trapping mat in the UK. This mat
is the perfect underlay for repair
and maintenance tasks, or in
sensitive areas around machinery
and equipment. It is so absorbent
that it can soak up to three litres
of fluids before needing to be
replaced.
MEWA’s MULTITEX absorbent
mat offers a simple and efficient
way to keep the workplace and
floor free from contamination
and hazardous fluids.
NEW FUME EXTRACTION
SYSTEMS MEETING LATEST
HSE WELDING REQUIREMENTS
New from Wilkinson Star,
one the of the UK’s largest
independent distributors
of Welding and Industrial
Equipment, is the F-Tech
Fume technology product
range of high vacuum fume
extraction systems and
welding torches.
Welders and operatives
can be exposed to welding
fumes, grinding dust and
oil mist in the working
environment. It is therefore
obligatory for employers
to create safe and healthy
working conditions for
operatives by reducing
these health risks.
The F-Tech Fox is a high
vacuum dust extraction
system offering a portable
solution to extract dust
from manual welding and
grinding processes.
The F-Tech range is
available through
Wilkinson Star’s extensive distributor network. For further
details please contact Wilkinson Star on 0161 728 7900 or visit
wilkinsonstar247.com.
It replaces the need for sand,
granules or plastic tubs and is
a reusable solution that offers
a cost-effective way to manage
hazardous waste.
The secret of the mat’s success
is that it immediately transports
fluid from the outer fabric to the
absorbent, inner core, allowing
the surface to remain relatively
dry. Available in a 60x90cm towel
format, the MEWA MULTITEX mat
can be used as a standalone item,
or as several mats placed side by
side for larger areas.

is designed to proof test 700
bar hydraulic tools, typically
20-25% higher than the rated
pressure. Made from lightweight
aluminium, the compact pump
is highly portable and weighs
only 4.5 kg. It offers two speed
operation allowing a rapid prefill
or no-load approach, and push
button changeover to higher
pressure.
An optional factory fitted
pressure relief valve may be
fitted to the pump and set at
any specified pressure between
56 and 1000 bar to prevent
exceeding maximum safe
working pressures.
The Tangye Hydrapak pump
range includes seven pumps
ranging from 110 bar (1600 psi)
