Radiation-resistant elastomer seals
GROUPE LATTY, a French designer
and manufacturer of industrial
seals for harsh industrial
environments, has released a range
of 80 Shore EPDM elastomer seals.
The PMUC-certifi ed, radiationresistant
seals are developed
for nuclear applications and are
qualifi ed for accident conditions
with a radiation resistance of up to
1700 kilogray (kGy).
The LATTY E48Z11LY1700
elastomer seals are intended to
be used in semi-dynamic or static
applications such as nuclear power
plants, pumps, industrial valves,
compressors, motors, actuators,
bolted assemblies, pressurised
devices and materials exposed to
radiation.
They are available in various
sizes and versions: O-rings,
gaskets, moulded and machined
seals, sheet gaskets, v-rings
and other forms are available on
request.
The seals are characterised by
high resistance to
weathering, nitrogen,
oxygen, phosphate
ester-type hydraulic
fl uids, polar
solvents (water,
alcohols, glycols,
ketones), steam
and detergents.
Designed
specifi cally for
the nuclear
industry, they
are also suitable
for medical
fi eld (imaging),
instrumentation
(radiation protection), or personal
protection equipment.

PINET ALUMINIUM
HINGES AND LATCHES
PINET 30mm aluminium hinges
from FDB Panel Fittings can be
used in pairs or together with a
matching friction, detent or spring
hinge to modify door opening
characteristics. Construction is in
clear or black anodised aluminium
with robust plastic hinge pin to
resist corrosion.
The matching soft-close hinge
offers controlled closure in three
confi gurations with two different
torque damping settings, making
them suitable for many types of
enclosure, cabinet and cupboard
from factory fl oor to domestic
furniture.
FDB has also launched the
FinAlu lightweight range of PINET
hinges that provide light and tough
service in applications such as
medical equipment, electronic
enclosures, food equipment,
vehicle cabinets and other highperforming
situations.
These hinges can be used
on small boxes, enclosures and
cabinets where good-looking
industrial quality hinges are required
for long-term service where light
weight is a primary requirement.
PINET 30mm barrel bolts are
a way of providing light duty
spring latching to doors and
drawers. They are quickly fi tted
to latch into a locating hole in the
equipment where they can provide
a positioning facility for covers or
access panels. When not in use the
bolt can be drawn back against the
extension spring and held in the
unlocked position.
Typical uses are in furniture,
equipment, housings and doors in
light industrial applications. LH
and RH units are available in clear
anodised aluminium.

Ellsworth
Adhesives
adds cleaner
to range
ELLSWORTH Adhesives Europe
has added a versatile Microcare
General Purpose Cleaner and
Adhesive Remover to replace the
discontinued Slow Drying Flux
remover (MCC-E7M).
The General Purpose Cleaner
and Adhesive Remover is a
powerful, high-purity fl ux
remover, degreaser and adhesive
remover which dries fully residue
free. It is the only citrus-based
cleaner on the market which is
engineered for benchtop use and
does not contain any surfactants
or additives.
It can be used as a silicone
and circuit board cleaner
and to clean power on fl uxes,
pastes, inks, oils and grease.
Additionally, it can dissolve and
remove many adhesives which
are used to apply pressure
sensitive labels. Only a small
amount of the slow-drying
cleaning fl uid is required to clean
a large area, helping to minimise
solvent usage and waste.
Microcare General Purpose
Cleaner and Adhesive Remover
boasts an unlimited
shelf-life and is
RoHS, WEEE and
REACH Compliant.
Manufactured
using renewable
resources,
it offers a
low-cost and
environmentally
sustainable
solution to many
traditionally
diffi cult
cleaning
applications.
