Akron Brass, which manufactures firefighting nozzles, valves, monitors and vehicle electronics, recently announced the release of the Mercury Quick Attack LE Portable Monitor.

Working closely with a panel of emergency responders, Akron Brass developed the Mercury Quick Attack LE to help firefighters extinguish fires from a variety of angles.

With an elevation range between 10° and 50°, the portable monitor enables firefighters to hit low and high targets with a reach of up to 250 feet.

When seconds count, the compact, 15-pound monitor is quick to deploy and allows firefighters to reach the seat of a fire with ease.

 

Additional Features Include:

 

– New adjustable Mercury Nozzle that meets NPFA 1964 and EN 15767-2 standards

– Adjustable Mercury nozzle is the only fog nozzle with the reach of a smooth bore nozzle

– Oscillating nozzle for unmanned operation

– Knurled handle for improved grip

– Handle wiper to minimize debris collection

– Carbide tip spikes for added wear resistance

– Strap attached with bag for easy stowing

– Ability to combine monitor with a storage bracket and multiple Masterstream nozzles

Fast & Fluid, which manufactures precision paint tinting dispensers and mixing equipment, was recently featured on the Dutch TV program, “How it’s Done.”

Filmed earlier this year, the editors visited Fast & Fluid in Sassenheim, Netherlands, and filmed one of the new Harbil assembly lines. Strategic Product Line Manager, Goran Aleksijovski and Manager of Operations, André van Dijk give an overview of how we design, develop and produce our dispensers, who our customers are and what we find important.

Precision Polymer Engineering (PPE), manufacturer of high-performance sealing technology, launched their new Perlast® Helios G7HA seal at the SEMICON West tradeshow today.

Perlast® Helios G7HA is a high purity perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) that offers outstanding long-term mechanical performance and plasma resistance in high temperature semiconductor applications.

Previously in the semiconductor sealing market, compromises had to be made between seal purity and high performance in plasma environments. Perlast® Helios G7HA is one of the first elastomer innovations to give reliable results across both purity and resistance to aggressive plasmas.

“Perlast® Helios G7HA is a step change in semiconductor equipment sealing,” said Knut Beekmann, Business Line Manager for Semiconductor at PPE.

In extensive testing, Perlast® Helios G7HA outperformed competitor materials in aggressive plasmas – including high concentrations of fluorine radical plasmas – at temperatures up to 310°C.

“This new material has been developed in line with what our customers have been asking for – a fully organic FFKM which delivers outstanding plasma resistance in high temperatures. We’re delighted with the results from laboratory testing and customer trials. We’re confident that G7HA will play a key role in cutting equipment downtime and reducing overall cost of ownership across a wide range of semiconductor applications,” he said.

Perlast® Helios G7HA has been developed for use in wet and dry semiconductor processes, including etching, stripping and cleaning. The new material is expected to be molded into dynamic and static sealing products, including isolation valves, chamber O-rings and gas inlet seals.
