Product Information

In order to provide some perspective, any discussion of the treatment of fluorocarbon polymers for bonding or fastening should include at least a few comments on methods that have been tried in the past. The need to render the surface of these polymers wetable, and therefore bondable, arose almost as soon as their extremely low coefficient of friction was realized.
Acton Technologies offers a full line of fluoropolymer tapes and laminates in various thicknesses and roll diameters. Designed with materials and adhesives that meet a wide array of temperature and service environments, tapes from Acton Technologies can meet your specific application requirements

The most common fluoropolymer is PTFE and its most easily identified property is its lubricity...(read attached)
HgX Hand Cream and Cleaner is intended for use as a barrier for exposed skin when working with elemental mercury. It is also used as a hand cleaner after working with mercury. HgX Hand Cream and Cleaner is available in a convenient 12 ounce jar or in a box of 100 one-ounce packets.
HgX is the industry standard in mercury decontamination. HgX is an inexpensive soluble metallic-mercury-sulfide converting powder in combination with a chelating compound and dispersing agent. When mixed with water as directed, HgX will substantially reduce mercury contaminations in the air.
This one-time use, time-saving, all-in-one kit contains everything needed for safe and effective cleanup of a compact fluorescent light (CFL) breakage and truly decontaminates the area. With our one-time use kits, you can be confident about the cleanup and worry-free about long-term exposure effects for people and pets.
