In 1967, the NFPA Technical Committee on Electrical Equipment in Chemical Atmospheres established recommended practices, entitled "NFPA 496 - Purged and Pressurized Enclosures for Electrical Equipment." Since then, the NFPA has expanded its document by adding recommendations for enclosure ventilation and dilution.

Industrial Mixers
-
-
INDUSTRIAL MIXERSMost chemical processes involve mixing. As diverse as manufacturing is the mixing operations and requirements vary greatly. Mixing requirements include liquid blending, solid suspension, pigment dispersion, and these operations can be complicated by product viscosity. We offer a broad selection of industrial mixers for all your mixing needs. From small portable mixers and lab dispersers to low-speed agitators and high-speed dispersers through multi-shaft mixers and planetary mixers we offer mixers to handle the toughest mixing problems.

Purged Cabinets and Enclosure Protection SystemsRead more -
Defining Hazardous AreasRead moreToday’s modern chemical facilities often contain both flammable gases and ignitable dust, which pose explosion risks. To prevent explosions from happening in harsh environments whereby flammable gases or combustible dusts are present directives and guidelines are put in place to protect both the public, workforce, and environment.
-
Equipment in Hazardous (classified) LocationsRead moreThe need to place general-purpose equipment in hazardous (classified) locations is not new, yet in the last three decades, the need has grown dramatically.
-
Electrical Service Types and VoltagesRead moreIn commercial and industrial applications, voltages can be in excess of 1000kV. Most equipment supplied by DisperseTech will operate at one of several common voltages 208, 240, 480, and 600 volts.

Paint FormulationRead morePaint consists of four basic components: Resin Pigment Solvent Additives The performance of a coating is influenced by the selection of these components and the relationship between them. Several rations play an important function in the overall performance of a coating.
-
Critical Pigment Volume ConcentrationRead moreThe point where there is just sufficient binder present within a paint to cover each extender particle with a thin layer and fill all voids between particles.
-
Pigment Binder RatioRead moreOne of the earliest forms of comparison. The pigment/binder ratio is the weight ratio of the sum of the pigments (pigments and fillers) to the binder solids.
-
Pigment Volume ConcentrationRead moreThe ratio of the volume of pigment to the volume of total nonvolatile material present in a coating. The figure is usually expressed as a percentage.
-
Properties of Common SolventsRead moreDensity, boiling point, evaporation rate, and flash point of common solvents
-
Spread RateRead moreThe Theoretical Spread Rate or coverage of a coating is a function of the coating's solids content. This value is useful in comparing coatings systems. In actual applications, there are losses. The practical spreading rate accounts for these losses. Losses result from application technique, losses to wind and environment, application equipment, and type of the substrate to be coated and substrate surface profile.
-
Fineness of GrindRead moreThe grind gauge is an instrument that indicates the fineness of grind or the presence of coarse particles and agglomeration in a dispersion. It is commonly used to determine how finely ground the particles of pigment are dispersed in a sample of paint.
