PRODUCT SHOWCASE

Hand Protection

RONCO has launched a line of 100% recycla-ble gloves, RONCO-ECO. Made from environmentally friendly bamboo fiber, this new product provides hand protection while minimizing envi-

ronmental impact. It has a 100% bamboo

shell with a natural
foam-latex coating,
making it 100% re-
cyclable and
biodegradable. The
glove is washable and
is available in four dif-
ferent sizes. The quali-
ties of bamboo fiber
make the glove softer,
lighter and more
breathable than gloves made from synthetic mate-
rials, without compromising efficiency. The glove
is also highly absorbent, helping keep hands
cooler and drier and is naturally antibacterial and
antifungal.

Spray Cleaner

Activeion™ Cleaning Solutions has announced its first commercial cleaning product, the Activeion Pro, which transforms tap water into a cleaner available in a spray bottle. This product is efficient, cost-effective and offers a safe alternative to harsh chemicals for cleaning because it uses activated water technology. It is versatile and safe to use on glass, stainless steel, wood, stone and marble, as well as carpet and clothing, and can replace many general-purpose cleaners commonly used on these types of surfaces.

Surface Area Technology

HORIBA’s SA-9600 surface area technology brings convenience and confidence to surface area and pore volume analysis. Now you can perform single-point surface area, multi-point surface area and total pore-volume measurements with push-button ease. The use of the flowing-gas method and a modified B.E. T. equation provide both a high degree of sensitivity and fast sample analysis. Most routine total-surface-area measurements can be finished in as little as two minutes. Multiple sample stations can be combined with the flowing-gas technique to deliver three simultaneous sample measurements and up to 90 measurements per hour in single-point mode.
