Like our visual judgement, the new spectro2profiler reportedly measures color, gloss, and surface structure simultaneously in a robust, portable tool.
September 15, 2020
BYK-Gardner recently announced the launch of its new spectro2profiler, an instrument to measure color and gloss, as well as the 3D topography of the surface texture.
We have all seen and experienced so many changes over the past few months. COVID-19 has caused a health crisis on a level most of us hadn’t even imagined, beyond the pages of dystopian fiction.
Vacuum potting is mainly aimed at electronic components with small openings and complex internal structures.
June 10, 2020
The potting of electronic components involves filling the assembly with a compound such as liquid resin (e.g., epoxy, silicone, polyurethane) to protect it from environmental or use conditions like moisture, humidity, and vibration. Any air entrapment in the potting compound can result in air bubbles that may cause performance problems in the finished component.
The organizations reportedly developed this program after recognizing the benefits of certification for chemists and analysts in laboratories that focus on analyzing industrial hygiene samples.
June 3, 2020
AIHA, AIHA Registry Programs, and the National Registry of Certified Chemists (NRCC) recently announced the launch of a joint program for the certification of industrial hygiene (IH) chemists and analysts.

The correct adjustment of flow characteristics of sealants and thermosetting adhesives is crucial to their performance in automated, high-speed production environments.
The automated application of sealants and adhesives in settings such as automotive production requires that predictable, reproducible quantities are applied, and that they flow properly and remain in place during the final setting period.
This second installment of a two-part series higlights the value proposition of independent material testing and validation to high-value end-use markets.
Independent testing and third-party validation of application-specific and customer-required adhesive products are expected across the value chain. It is especially important to validate adhesive performance for the electronics industry.
