Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), caustic potash (potassium hydroxide), chlorine, and hydrogen-basic chemical are critical ingredients used in products all over the world. These chemicals are used in a wide variety of household and industrial products including soaps, cleaners, and electrolytes in batteries. Electrolysis requires a significant amount of energy, so it’s critical to find any […]
It’s challenging to design equipment that will be used in high temperature and other severe food processing applications. That’s because these applications require durable materials that meet the strict requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We’re excited to announce that the FDA has approved three grades of our AFLAS fluoroelastomers for food […]
The new 5G cellular network is expected to become widely used by 2020. With already over 200 operators in more than 80 countries, 5G isn’t just on its way; it’s here. As a result, developers across the globe are working diligently to create the technology needed to support the ultra-fast network. Features like faster download […]
Today’s architects and commercial builders are challenged to create innovative, environmentally sustainable structures that will last for years. Fortunately, advances in FEVE (fluoroethylene vinyl ether) fluoropolymer resins for paints and topcoats help these structures withstand the elements for decades. In a new on-demand webinar recording, AGC product experts outline the advantages of FEVE-based topcoats for […]
Our chlor-alkali experts recently participated in the Chlorine Institute’s annual technology symposium and expo. We had the opportunity to learn from professionals about the industry’s latest advances and challenges. We also discussed the unique advantages of our line of FORBLUE® FLEMION fluorinated ion exchange membranes in high-quality caustic soda and caustic potash production. The Chlorine […]
At AGC Chemicals Americas, we are always looking for new opportunities to support and give back to our community, especially when it involves bettering the lives of the next generation. That is why we were proud to support and partner with Harmony for Peace Foundation for their musical production of “Concert 2GO”. The performance was […]
Today’s automotive engineers are challenged to design lightweight vehicles that operate with maximum power and minimal fuel consumption. With great emphasis placed on turbo efficiency, it is important to select materials for engine components that can stand up to demanding, under-the-hood applications. Recent advances in lamination technology for multi-layer hose constructions have caused manufacturers to […]
Some of the world’s most beautiful locations come with difficult challenges for the architects and construction engineering companies who need to build there. Today’s architects look to create unique and stunning architecture that can also withstand the challenges of severe climates, and they often have to deal with sustainability requirements as well. To keep buildings […]
The second annual Elevation Awards, sponsored by Durability + Design, recognizes architects, interior designers, painting contractors, manufacturers and suppliers who participated in outstanding building projects around the world. A panel of industry professionals judge the structures and buildings based on aesthetic and technical criteria. Of the nominated buildings, three were coated with LUMIFLON® FEVE-based resins. […]
Corrosion is the number one enemy of industrial tanks and vessels, and the damage is costly on many levels. Not only does it destroy components of the tank, it also can contaminate the stored product, release the contained materials into the environment, raise safety concerns and increase operating costs. Performance Advantages of FEVE Resins When […]
