Contact UsSwitching to an nPB ReplacementMany companies are looking for nPB replacements. Some companies are switching from nPB due to regulatory restrictions. However, there are even more that want to change from nPB (n-Propyl Bromide) to newer, safer cleaning fluid alternatives simply because it is the right thing to do.  nPB is a powerful and effective commercial…

Nearly all of the recent advances in cleaning fluid technology center around developing safe chemistries that meet both cleanliness standards and environmental regulations – meaning they do not contribute to global warming and are not an ozone depleting substance. However, it was not always that way.Prior to 1990sPrior to the 1990s, the two most common…

Metal 3D printing, a subset of additive manufacturing is growing fast. It is a dynamic process that has changed tremendously over the past twenty years and continues to evolve with new technologies and techniques occurring every day.   It has gone from prototyping simple samples to making fully-finished, machine-grade metal parts.Ideal for producing parts with complex…

Choosing the correct post-processing 3D finishing fluids plays a key role in the successful construction of plastic and metal 3D printed parts.3D printing (3DP), a subset of additive manufacturing is gaining widespread acceptance for functional applications within the aerospace manufacturing industry. With the advancement of technologies and materials, 3DP is now a viable alternative to…

For many MIM (metal injection molding) companies, sustainability is impacting the way they do business. They must minimize negative environmental impact, conserve energy and protect natural resources all while safeguarding the well-being of their employees.  Meanwhile, these same companies need to stay profitable without compromising product quality.  One way companies are achieving sustainability is by…
