IGM ResinsStatement from IGM Resins:

As global market leader in photoinitiators, IGM Resins would like to comment on the concerns raised by the market, specifically in Europe, North America, South America, and Japan, related to the recent finding of higher concentrations of PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyls) in several sources of the production of 2-Hydroxy-2-methyl-1 – phenyl-propane (CAS NO. 7473-98-5).

IGM Resins hereby confirms that Omnirad 1173, produced in Mortara (Italy), owing to its specific and advanced manufacturing process, does not contain any detectable levels of PCBs. As the only European production location of photoinitiators, IGM Resins guarantees the highest standards when it comes to safety, health and environment. The Omnirad 1173 that will be produced in 2022 at IGM’s brand new flagship production site in Anqing (China) will likewise be free of detectable levels of PCB.

Aligned with its purpose and as part of the new Go, Grow, Green strategy, IGM Resins is fully committed to optimize production processes where needed and, in close collaboration with our raw material suppliers, eliminate unintendedly created substances, such as PCBs, from all of IGM’s products by the end of 2021.

Wilfrid Gambade, CEO at IGM Resins says, “As the reliable and responsible business partner driving the UV industry, our commitment is to provide the market with sustainable solutions for generations to come.”

CFCM slingpsychrometer 400Paul N. Gardner USA, global distributors, producers, and designers of quality physical and inspection instruments for the paint, coatings, and related industries, has introduced a new offering: The compact, portable Sling Psychrometer.

As an easy way to measure relative humidity levels quickly, this uniquely compact Bacharach Sling Psychrometer accurately determines per cent relative humidity without the necessity of consulting complex tables. There is no need to wet the wick each time a reading is taken, and it contains a slide rule calculator which correlates wet and dry bulb thermometer indications for direct reading of relative humidity. When not in use, the thermometer case telescopes into the handle for protection.

The Sling Psychrometer consists of two thermometers that are turned by vigorously swinging the handle and exposing the thermometers to rapid air movement. These two thermometers are called dry bulb and wet bulb. The bulb of one thermometer is placed in direct contact with the room air to measure dry-bulb air temperature. The bulb of the other thermometer is covered with a silk or muslin sleeve that is kept moist to record the wet bulb temperature. Evaporation cools the wet bulb more than the dry bulb, and the humidity is obtained as a function of change in temperature. The atmospheric humidity is determined by calculations, steam tables, or using a psychrometric chart. Gardco.com
