Low Smoke Acidity PVC Compounds for Electrical Cables: Flammability and Smoke Production Versus Halogen-Free Options At the recent 4th PVC4Cables Conference in Prague, Laura Mazzocchetti of Università di Bologna underlined how in reality, and contrary to common perception, acidity is a secondary parameter in #firesafety. Carbon monoxide (CO) emerges as the leading threat in the effluents produced during a fire. Studies also reveal that the smoke production from #PVCcables can be significantly mitigated, almost aligning with #halogenfree #cables, through the strategic use of appropriate flame retardants and smoke suppressants. https://lnkd.in/d7neQa2D

Readiness of PVC Pipes for the Hydrogen Economy Roland Valk from Kiwa will present their latest work for PVC4Pipes at the upcoming conference, focusing on the readiness of PVC pipes for hydrogen distribution. The studies highlight how traditional PVC-U, PVC-HI, and new PVC-O pipes perform well under hydrogen exposure, showing minimal leakage and strong durability. This research supports the use of existing #PVC infrastructure for natural gas and new PVC pipelines in the shift towards clean #hydrogen as part of Europe's #greenenergy transition.

Inorganic Flame Retardant: Magnesium Hydroxide&Aluminum Hydroxide&Brucite&Hydromagnesite KMT Industrial Ltd. Sales Help with flame retardant solutions
KMT products are widely used as #flameretardants, #fillers, and #smokesuppressants in #wires and #cables. Key materials like #MagnesiumHydroxide, #Hydromagnesite, and #AluminumHydroxide play a crucial role in these applications. When exposed to heat, these materials decompose endothermically, releasing water vapor, which effectively reduces the spread of flames. Additionally, they help minimize smoke and toxic gas emissions, making them ideal for safety-critical applications in electrical insulation and cable sheathing.

What’s the big deal about heat pumps? They have been around for decades, so what’s the fuss all about? We know that 92% of new heating systems installed in Scandinavia are heat pumps, but other markets are still installing gas and oil boilers at alarming rates. Historically, high upfront costs have been a barrier to heat pump adoption, but Aira is here to eliminate this obstacle with zero upfront costs and an all-inclusive monthly payment plan. Watch this video to learn more about the Aira Heat Pump, its standout features and the benefits this technology, which is 4 x more efficient than a fossil fuel-based boiler, offers consumers across the country.

💧On a mission to turn air into safe & clean water for 1 million people | 3% of the goal achieved so far | CEO at Aquaria | Forbes 30U30
A medium-sized desalination plant making 10M gallons of water per day can cost up to $80M and take 2-3 years to build. But what if you water supply is already struggling with the demand? ❌ You don’t have 2-3 years to wait for desal ❌ You don’t have the capital to build it ❌ And it threatens local wild life That’s why when Eric and I sat down together to decide on Aquaria’s unit price, we settled on $3,499. Our Hydropixel is designed to be modular and it looks like a high-tech water cooler so the price made sense. And once installed, the only operational costs include changing the air & water filters every 6-12 months. Perfect for a home of up to 5 people. Would you get one? PS. For comparison, a standard solar panel installation can cost up to $25k.

A combined cycle power plant wanted to improve asset protection and power generation. Veolia recommended a volatile filmer, Polyamine Plus*, to reduce corrosion and improve heat transfer. By enabling dropwise condensation on the condenser tubes, heat transfer was more efficient and increased condenser performance by ~1.6%. This meant the plant operated more efficiently, saving $50,000 in operational cost annually and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by ~16,700 MT CO2 per year.
