With the seemingly insurmountable challenges surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the surge in cases has created yet another obstacle–the shortage of medical oxygen. Though the essential gas itself is not experiencing scarcity, the overwhelming number of coronavirus cases, specifically in the United States, has been problematic in both the supply chain and hospital equipment capacity. As
The coronavirus introduces several new challenges in healthcare manufacturing and logistics, as many industries scramble to deliver on the unpredictable level of demands. Oxygen, for instance, is an indispensable requirement for the medical community, especially in the midst of an upper respiratory infection-based pandemic. This essential gas is unsurprisingly difficult to transport, as it must
Ultra-low temperature calibration baths are routine and essential processes for thermometric sensors in a variety of manufacturing industries. These extreme temperatures require dependable and precise properties, and accordingly, Halocarbon 0.8 Oil is the fluid of choice and industry standard for ultra-low calibration baths. This high-quality calibration bath fluid is specifically designed to perform consistently across
What Are PCTFE Oligomers? PCTFE oligomers are engineered fluids that consist of only a few repeating CTFE monomer units. These low-molecular weight oligomeric materials differ from the high-molecular weight polymeric thermoplastics of CTFE in a number of ways. PCTFE oligomers are fluid in nature, taking on liquid, grease, or wax forms which can be tuned
Chemical manufacturing processes often use stainless steel as a material of construction due to its resistance to a broad range of chemicals and to corrosion. Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used metals in the chemical manufacturing industry today, and is used in a wide range of applications, such as reactors, valves, process
What are Traditional Metalworking Fluids? Metalworking fluids, also known as cutting fluids or coolants, are liquids used in metalworking operations such as cutting, abrading, and metal forming to reduce friction between the workpiece and the tool. Cutting fluids provide these processes with many benefits, including better surface finishes, longer tool life, lower energy consumption, enhanced
