20 INSTALLATIONS Colour match New filters launched Hendor has launched its new filters for the surface finishing industry. After years of research and testing, a completely new and significantly improved design has been created. With this, we take a pioneering step in manufacturing high quality filtration systems. With the advent of new technologies and the search for optimum efficiency, the company has developed a new, innovative design under the leadership of its technical director Hessel Bohncke. The new Hendor filters are even more user-friendly and efficient. Completely new are the double-welded bases that ensure less pressure loss, more flow, more reach and more energy efficiency of the filter. Absolutely no concessions have been made on the quality of raw materials, features or service-friendliness. The new filters consist of fewer components, but are of course realized at the same high quality. The filters will be offered in three series and will thus replace the current variant. All available with filter plates or candles, in combination with a magnetic drive or mechanical seal pump. These include the series 3, 7 and 15. And that is just the beginning. More series and products will follow in the future. Aerospace alternatives Indestructible Paint Ltd.’s commitment to developing alternatives to chrome-based products has been enhanced through a further focus on the aerospace industry by the performance paint and coatings manufacturer. The company is set to continue its commitment to this key field of corrosion protection for light alloys – one of the most challenging application areas – as a result of new chrome replacement target dates that have now been set for specific products by the European Chemical Agency (ECHA). “REACH authorisation for specific products that use pentazinc chromate octahydroxide has been granted for 12 years to January 2031,” says Brian Norton, Indestructible Paint’s managing director, at the company’s Birmingham office. “This relates to supplies of a particular anti-corrosion primer that is used by our aerospace customers on components that relate only to flight operations such as engine fan cases and fuel tanks.” He points out that time is now available for thorough certification of the latest generation of Indestructible Chrome Free Coatings that meet the demands of these harsh environments. “However, the overall company strategy, which has been a key focus of Indestructible Paint’s highly regarded research and development department for a number of years, is to continue development of products that can replace those that include chrome pigments,” adds Brian Norton. In Indestructible Paint’s case, this has pointed towards developing specific anti-corrosion primers that are particularly relevant to one of the world’s leading aerospace manufacturing companies. “The agreement to extend the use of this particular primer beyond the sunset date for pentazinc chromate octahydroxide recognises the importance and complexity of the subject – which, of course, has an important health and safety significance,” continues Brian Norton. Datacolor has launched its latest color tool, the RAL COLORREADER for professionals and consumers. Combining the renowned color legacy of RAL with the color management expertise of Datacolor, the RAL COLORREADER lets you scan the flat surface of any color to instantly find its precise RAL color match via its feature-rich companion app. In addition to providing accurate color matches, users can tap on their color match to find coordinating colors, conveniently organized into monochromatic, analogous, triad and complementary color Artistic effect palettes, simplifying and facilitating the color matching and coordinating processes. For the professional, the RAL COLORREADER streamlines the workflow process, allowing architects, interior designers, and painters the ease and ability to accurately match paint colors right from the job site without having to remove wall samples and take them to the paint store. RAL COLORREADER also provides precise color data (CIE Lab, RGB, Hex, CMYK, LCH and LRV) for digital design work, allowing users to easily convert color matches to other palettes if needed. The team at Hull-based Humber Galvanizing Ltd has helped protect the long-term future of an iconic sculpture created to mark the 50th anniversary of a local mineral mine. Boulby Mine, situated near Staithes, North Yorkshire, is the UK’s deepest working mine and was the first in the world to undertake the commercial production of polyhalite – a rare mineral commonly used as fertiliser. To mark its half a century, owners of the mine (ICL Boulby), commissioned artist Katie Ventress to produce a commemorative bench to showcase life underground. A replica of the ‘Bait Tables’ that are located at the bottom of the mine and where the miners sit to have lunch and conduct meetings, the artwork comes complete with a ‘communications board’ featuring tannoy, phone, and light plus a full-size figure of a modern-day miner. The table-top itself is produced from a sheet of laser cut stainless-steel incorporating information about the mine, as well as detailed map of the underground tunnels. The elaborate picnic-style bench took just over three months to produce, after which it was sent to the team at Humber Galvanizing, part of Wedge Group Galvanizing Ltd, for processing. After being galvanized to protect it from the outside elements, the artist then used acid etching to create striking highlight effects. <strong>Finishing</strong> – <strong>September</strong>/<strong>October</strong> <strong>2021</strong>
