Commercial Carpeting
Tandus has created a large-scale patterned floor covering designed specifically for schools and facilities with wide hallways. It is available in 6-foot Powerbond and monolithic tile in 18-inch x 18-inch and 36-inch x 36-inch sizes.
The product is 75 percent solution-dyed and 25 percent yarn-dyed, and is made with a minimum of 31 percent overall recycled content. Available in seven color variations, it is constructed of Stratatec patterned loop.
Leaf Collection Hoses
Flexhaust has added a complete line of lawn and leaf collection hoses to its collection of landscaping equipment. Designed to meet OEM material requirements, the hoses are available in 2-inch to 24 -inch and 60 mm to 300 mm sizes, depending upon the product they will be attached to.
Chemical Sensors
RAE Systems Inc. introduces a stainless steel case for its radiation and multi-sensor chemical detection monitors. The case is available for the system’s wireless five-gas monitor and wireless toxic gas and radiation monitor. It is designed for harsh deployments in hazardous environments where safety is essential and the potential for sparks must be eliminated.
Generator
The new Gemini Twin Pack generator set by Generac Power Systems features two 500kW generators housed within a sound attenuated steel enclosure. Built-in redundancy and load shedding maintain coverage of circuits with one generator while the other is offline for maintenance.
The system is scalable, and units can be added as standby power requirements increase. Up to seven Gemini units can be paralleled for an output of up to 7,000kW.
Pendant Lighting Fixture
The Mini-Clareta from d’ac Lighting is a small-scale pendant luminaire that provides a cone-shaped beam of light. The style is reminiscent of the 1950s and is suitable for building entryways, hallways, meeting rooms and offices. The light is suspended from the ceiling via height-adjustable, aircraft-grade support cables. A 0.5-inch-diameter rigid stem may also be specified instead of cables.
It features a bell-shaped shade, a curved top cap, a visually balancing trim ring and faux edge clamps.
Root Control System
The Biobarrier root control system is a geotextile designed to inhibit root growth through the slow release of trifluralin. The nonsystemic herbicide creates a vapor zone that prevents root-tip cell division and stimulates roots to grow away from the trifluralin zone.
The membrane is porous to water and nutrients and does not disturb soil hydrology. It is available in 20-foot and 100-foot rolls with widths of 12 inches, 19.5 inches, 24 inches, 29 inches, 39 inches and 58.5 inches.
Plywood
Timber Products introduces the GreenT line of hardwood plywood produced from wood certified under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. It can be made with a resin composed of urea-free formaldehyde and is available with three different core materials.
The product line includes SpectraBoard, a hardwood-face, overlay back panel made with a urea-free formaldehyde particleboard core; Decorative Overlays; Particleboard, a raw particleboard made with urea-free formaldehyde resins; and Door Core.
Adhesive Dispenser
ConProTec Inc. introduces the Mixpac Hand-Held Adhesive Dispensing System for two-component adhesives. The system consists of a manual or pneumatic dispensing gun, a cartridge and a static mixer. Cartridges are available in volumetric ratios of 1:1, 3:2, 2:1, 4:1 and 10:1, with capacities ranging from 37 ml to 490 ml.
The adhesive is mixed in the static mixer as it is dispensed from the cartridge so only the amount needed is prepared. The system mixes while it dispenses and does not add air to the mixing process.
