Oxygen Cleaning
Cleaning For Oxygen Service Whitepaper White Paper By Phil Dale (Co-contributor Handbook for Critical Cleaning - Liquid Displacement Drying Techniques). Cleaning for oxygen service is best defined as the removal of combustible contaminants from the surface of any equipment or system in oxygen service, including all parts thereof. Essentially, any component that may come into contact with an oxygen rich environment. The combustible contaminants include organic and inorganic substances such as hydrocarbon material for example oils and greases, paper, fibre, coal dust, solvents, weld slag, rust, sand and dirt. If these contaminants are not...

ACGIH Threshold For N-Propyl Bromide Solvents
What You Should Know About The ACGIH’s Threshold For nPB Solvents If you work with industrial chemicals, materials or solvents then you may have heard of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). The ACGIH is a scientific, but non-governmental body of industrial hygienists that publishes Threshold Limit Value (TLV) opinions on chemicals such as n-propyl bromide the base solvent for EnSolv formulations. These TLV opinions are not held to the same standards as limits set by an organization such as OSHA in the USA, but are still published in books available on the ACGIH website. You or someone else in your company...
Condensation cleaning, the future for solvent degreasing
Innovation driven by legislation Vapour degreasing is the simplest but most effective degreasing and cleaning process. It has, until recently, been subject to little change since it was first invented in the early part of the last century. The name for the process is a misnomer as the cleaning is actually achieved by solvent vapour condensing on the cooler target parts and the hot liquid solvent dissolving oil and removing dirt. Vapour degreasing is a mature technology on which legislation is now effecting changes so fundamental that the more accurate name for the process “Condensation Cleaning” should be used to reflect the way in which it...
Samuel Banners Ltd appointed EnSolv distributors for UK

EnSolv® invented and patented by EnviroTech has been a market leader all over the world for vapour degreasing. It is based on n-bromopropane (nPB) which now cannot be used as a vapour degreaser within the UK or EU without...
A Real Fire Suppression System Problem and Your Electronics and Computer Systems
HFC-227ea is replacing Halon 1301 as the gaseous fire suppression agent for data processing and electronic equipment. However when activated in a fire situation HFC-227ea will decompose to produce Hydrogen Fluoride. This is a real and ongoing concern. Why? Because Hydrogen Fluoride causes major corrosion problems for electronics and connectors. You may save your equipment but for how long? In 2004 the Institute of Research and Construction in Canada published a study on HFC-227ea (C3F7H) paper, Thermal decomposition products from fire suppression with HFC-227ea in an electronic facility 1. That study was followed by Corrosion of Electronic...
Maintenance engineers please help us to improve our product for you.
Corrosion Protection SuperCORR A is the best lubricant with corrosion protective additives on the market and is widely used by the military and for industrial maintenance. The website gives technical information and extensive user experiences in many areas. Currently SuperCORR A is supplied for maintenance purposes in large 16oz aerosols which are very convenient and economical for use in factories, offices or maintenance areas but are bulky for use by mobile service engineers where the cans need to be carried in tool kits. SuperCORR A is such a useful tool for service engineers, displacing water and leaving a dry lubricating film which...
An ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”Benjamin Franklin said that in 1736 and it is as true today as it was then. One of the most important opportunities for savings today is the prevention of failures caused by corrosion. Corrosion leading to the repair of or the complete re-placement of failed parts or components, a pound of cure, which is preventable, equates to increased production costs and a decrease in the bottom line profits. SuperCORR A is the ounce of prevention that will save your company money; man hour costs and parts in the re-pair or replacement of equipment that failed because of corrosion issues that are easily...
SuperCORR A Fully compliant with RoHS Directive
SuperCORR A is fully compliant with the requirements of the RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC - Restriction of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The restricted chemical substances are: LeadCadmiumMercuryChromiumVIPolybrominated biphenylsPolybrominated diphenyl ether For compliance equipment must contain no more than 1000ppm (100ppm for Cadmium) of these substances SuperCORR A has been tested and confirmed to be compliant so can safely be used on already compliant electrical and electronic equipment which will remain compliant. See RoHS Risk Assessment test results hereWe can provide you with a Material Safety Data...
See how SuperCORR A can save money and time changing light bulbs
Question - How many engineers does it take to change a lightbulb? Answer - One,but they'll spend three hours checking it for alignment and leaks. There are thousands of jokes on this theme but anywhere, factories, offices, warehouses, supermarkets, sports stadiums, railway stations, ocean liners, road lighting and other applications where thousands of light fittings are installed it can be a major maintenance expense rather than a joke. SuperCORR A is a corrosion preventative dry lubricant aerosol which rejects water and protects the bulb socket and fitting and prevents sticking. This makes bulb changing easy and quick.
