PTFE-Coated Fiberglass Fabric is THE Material Recommended for Your Mass Spectrometers

Broad Institute, a collaborative organization between MIT and Harvard, explains what mass spectrometers are, which sheds light on the importance of their proper function in laboratory environments. Broad Institute tells us that mass spectrometry is “an analytical tool useful for measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of one or more molecules present in a sample. These measurements can often be used to calculate the exact molecular weight of the sample components as well. Typically, mass spectrometers can be used to identify unknown compounds via molecular weight determination, to quantify known compounds, and to determine structure and chemical properties of molecules.”

The Use of Heat-Shrink Tunnels in the Packaging Industry

Shrink tunnels are used in a variety of industries for retail, food, and industrial packaging. Chances are, you’ve already unwrapped a number of boxes this week from any given market that have been neatly packaged with the help of shrink-wrap. The impact and scope of this packaging practice is immense and almost limitless.

Are You Utilizing Available Technologies to Their Fullest Potential?

If you aren’t making the most of the technologies available at your disposal, you are very likely to find yourself spending more time cleaning rather than producing. Does that sound like you?

If yes, Precision Coating and Coated Fabrics, Tapes, Belts, recommends every food processing plant, bakery, or kitchen to consider using PTFE-coated fiberglass release fabrics and/or PTFE-coated fiberglass release belting somewhere in their process.

PTFE-Coated Fiberglass Release Sheets and Peel Ply Make for Better Release Agents for Performing Lay-Up and Curing on Your Tools

Release agents such as Frekote are often used to perform layup and curing on tools. But, if you find this process to be time-consuming and exhausting, there are more efficient alternatives that can be used in this application, such as release sheets or peel ply.

In-Stock and Ready to Go!

For many of you, the following scenario isn’t a matter of if this has happened to you, but how many times you’ve found yourself in this predicament.

After speed-dialing the procurement department, you say, “Hey, Paul, glad I caught you. Looks like I just used the last piece of PTFE-coated fiberglass tape and we need replacement material, like, yesterday. How quickly can you get some in?”
