In honor of our recent visit from Andy Nardone and Tim Wilson from Rogers Corporation this week I have selected to highlight BF 1000 - Extra Soft Cellular Silicone for this week’s GlobalSpec product of the week.  BF 1000 passes the smoke, flame and toxicity tests needed to be installed in a passenger railcar.  

What are the features and benefits of BF 1000? Well, here you go…

• Excellent memory and low stress relaxation reduces maintenance costs associated with gasket failures due to compression set and softening.
• Softness allows designers to use less force to seal enclosures and still protect their device from the environment.
• High compressibility allows material to conform to variable width gaps and awkward shapes, thereby allowing engineers more design flexibility.
• Resistance to ultraviolet light, ozone, extreme temperatures, and flame enables consistent performance in all environments.

35-45 durometer - this product is resistant to most organic salts, ammonia, acids and alkalies. ASTM D2000 AA 430 (40 durometer, 3000 PSI tensile, and 600% elongation). This is a non-marking material and is a good abrasion resistant product.

One might think that this week’s product of the week should fall into March’s “funky-weather” catagory but techincally the GlobalSpec product of the week is actually determined on TUESDAY - and today is Tuesday, April 1, 2008 so it it is free to be what ever it wants - AND it has decided that it wants to be the

 Siemens Three-Way Zone Valve. 

A relatively new product for us here at Chamberlin Rubber Company, Inc. the Siemens Zone Valve is actually available in both as 2-way or 3-way zone valves.  These rugged forged valve bodies deliver up to 44psi.  With true CV ratings from 2.5 to 7.0 they provide the maximum flow rate and the hightest close-off in the industry. 

We also have 2-position, 3-position or modulating model Zone Valve Acutators which supply 24 pounds of force to meet all of your zone control application needs.        

Give Scott at call at (585) 758-1018 or click here to send us a email.  

Have a great week - and beware the happy April Fool’s tricksters!
