Manufacturing is a process many don’t understand unless you are a part of it. The very thought of everything that must take place to get a raw material turned into a finished product is mind boggling. There are many steps in the process, often times not related except as a customer relationship. One manufacturing process [...]
When you look at anything made of metal do you wonder how it was made? Do you ever think about the manufacturing process? Many of us never think about how things are made. We take for granted the fine details of the automobiles we use for transportation every day, the appliances we have in our [...]
Tribology and low friction coatings interrelated? Absolutely. If you want to surface engineer for success, that is. So, first, let’s discuss tribology.
We see tribology as the resultant interaction of two moving surfaces. Motion is necessary for their function but, ultimately, can be undermined by their own created friction and wear.
Tribology is all around us. You [...]
Every day we can easily see some big piece of machinery being used in someone’s small yard. We ask ourselves why this is the case and we can all come up with one applicable answer. This has to be because of the way people describe machinery to be better the bigger it is. They think [...]
Plastic suits and other protective clothing materials are tested using an ASTM F739 test (American Standard Test Method) to determine the permeation, breakthrough, and degradation rate. For example, the results of these tests have determined that Tyvek suits are best in situations involving light chemical spray and particulates. While these variables are tested in a [...]

In 1926, Richard Drew of the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company (also known as 3M) developed Scotch Tape, possibly the most famous adhesive tape across the world. It was originally created for use in car-painting, to create defining lines between different colours. Earlier, gummed tapes removed paintwork as it was peeled off, so Drew set [...]
Mobile Yard Ramps are used for the unloading of rear loading trucks and standard ISO containers, without the need for a permanent docking bay. Using a mobile yard ramp with a single forklift truck is far more efficient and less time consuming than using a pallet truck.
Mobile Yard Ramps often come with safety features such [...]
