General Plastics’ FR 4700 High-temp tooling board

Tacoma, WA (PRWEB) May 14, 2012

General Plastics Manufacturing Company will participate in the 2012 SAMPE conference May 21-24 in Baltimore, Maryland – the premier event for the advanced materials and processes industry. The company will highlight its aerospace-specific products at Booth #724, and will exhibit in conjunction with its distribution partners Coast-Line International (Booth #1534) and Rudolph Bros. & Co. (Booth #1204). All three will spotlight General Plastics’ LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4700 HT Tooling Board Series and its aerospace-grade foam boards.

“This show is a great opportunity to introduce our enhanced LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4700 HT Tooling Board Series, which supports high-temperature curing pre-pregs used in composite tooling,” said General Plastics President Bruce Lind. “This tooling board is ideal for models, master plugs and molds, as well as for limited tooling runs where metal dies are cost-prohibitive.”

Beyond making molds for short-run composite tools highly affordable, the FR-4700 Series products offer superb stability and versatility. Their higher glass transition temperature and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) make them suitable for use in vacuum-forming applications where other urethane products may soften or deform.

“Our distributor partners are extremely knowledgeable regarding their high-temperature tooling board options, so they are well-equipped to assist in selecting the most appropriate, cost-effective solution for a project,” Lind added. General Plastics products are distributed along the East Coast of the United States by Coast-Line International, and throughout the Ohio Valley by Rudolph Bros.

General Plastics’ LAST-A-FOAM® FR-3700 and FR-6700 Aerospace-Grade Board Series will be featured at SAMPE as well. Both of these CFC-free, flame-retardant product lines are ideal for models and design prototypes; composite core; vacuum-form dies and mold patterns; and honeycomb edge closeout for aircraft interior sandwich panels (overhead stow bins, passenger cabin class dividers, galleys and lavatories).

General Plastics launches new aerospace sample kit and testing services

Lind also announced that General Plastics will introduce its new aerospace sample kit and testing services at the show.

“The market has been clamoring for a sample pack of our composite core and flexible foams that are specific to the aerospace industry, so we are very excited to launch this “hands-on” kit at SAMPE,” said Lind. “This will give visitors to the General Plastics, Coast-Line and Rudolph Bros. booths a true feel for our foam materials, build-to-print composite parts and other engineered products.”

Lind also noted that the company has provided testing for more than 10 years to customers in the aerospace industry as a natural extension of its internal testing, but until now had not actively promoted its capabilities. General Plastics’ Testing Services Group offers flammability, physical property and developmental testing services in its onsite testing laboratories, which include an FAA-certified burn-test facility and onsite FAA witnessing.

“We provide everything from R&D testing, to pre-testing of a proposed design, to testing for final certification, and do it efficiently and cost-effectively,” said Lind. “With optimal facilities and an expert testing team, it was time to change our “best-kept secret” status and let others know we are a convenient, proven resource.”

Burlington, MA (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

During the M-GRIN program’s first phase, Surmet demonstrated the ability to create ALON® GRIN lens blanks with axial gradients. During Phase II Surmet will develop the ability to extend the magnitude and spatial extent of these gradients, using processes compatible with large volume manufacturing. At the culmination of the Phase II effort, Surmet will use proprietary fabrication processes to produce several prototype ALON® GRIN lenses and deliver them to DARPA.

The University of Rochester (U of R) will develop the metrology used to characterize the ALON® GRIN lens blanks and lenses produced during this program. The U of R will also lead the design effort to exploit the advantages of ALON® M-GRIN lenses for Advanced DoD optical systems. Ed White Consultants will guide the manufacturing readiness assessment of the MGRIN technology. Surmet will also include DoD Prime Contractors in the program to facilitate the transition of the ALON® M-GRIN technology into military systems.

Current applications for ALON® optical components exploit its unique combination of broadband transparency (UV-MWIR) with excellent physical, mechanical and chemical properties. ALON® Transparent Armor can stop armor piercing projectiles at half the weight and half the thickness of conventional glass armor, while providing 50% higher transmission for night vision goggles. ALON® windows and domes are being used in military systems for tracking, imaging and reconnaissance. ALON is also being evaluated for semiconductor processing and energy related applications because of its high dielectric breakdown strength and excellent chemical resistance.

Its cubic structure means that ALON is transparent in its polycrystalline form. This means that ALON® Optical Ceramic can be produced using conventional powder ceramic processing techniques. ALON® powder is synthesized from abundantly available precursor materials. The powder is then consolidated into a green body using any one of a number of forming techniques including cold isostatic pressing, slip casting and injection molding. The green body is then brought to full optical density through a series of heat treatments. The final blank is then cut ground and polished into the final optical component.

Founded in 1982, Surmet Corporation is an Advanced Materials Technology company, with a vertically integrated manufacturing capability. Surmet is headquartered in Burlington, MA and has R&D and manufacturing facilities in Buffalo, NY and Murrieta, CA. In addition to ALON, Surmet is a leading manufacturer of high strength fine-grained Magnesia Spinel optical components. Surmet also is a leader in making Aluminum Nitride (AlN) powder and sintered AlN bodies with high thermal conductivity.

Surmet’s technical and customer relations staff are ready to work with you to meet the needs and exacting specifications of your next generation product designs.

Please go to our web site http://www.surmet.com to learn more about us, and to find out what Surmet can do for you.

Attendees had more than 2,450 technical presentations to choose from in the SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing technical program.

Baltimore, MD and Bellingham, WA (PRWEB) April 27, 2012

The debut of SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing in Baltimore drew more than 6,700 attendees, the most ever for the week-long conference and exhibition serving industry, government and academia. The 2012 event set new records in the technical program, with 2,450 presentations, and in the exhibition, with 540 exhibitors and an 18 percent increase in exhibit visitors.

“Conference attendees have overwhelmingly endorsed the move to the new location, chosen for proximity to government and research facilities and decision makers in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C., area, and for the area’s amenities,” said Peter Hallett, SPIE Director of Marketing and Industry Relations.

SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing is the only annual conference and exhibition on the East Coast of the U.S. focused on optical science and engineering, including lasers, sensors, and imaging systems. The event will return to Baltimore in May 2013.

Growing conferences on multispectral and hyperspectral systems, signal processing, data fusion, and automatic processing of big data continue to push the frontier of advanced technology into real-world applications.

SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing draws developers of photonic sensors that measure the spectroscopic signatures of materials such as chemicals, biological materials, trace gases, and toxins, Hallett noted. “Applications include oceanography, pollution control, precision agriculture, pathogen detection, and many in defense and security,” Hallett said. “This work involves lasers, detectors, and people across disciplines including physics, engineering, and computer sciences.”

Exhibitors said leads were strong, and cited proximity to decision makers as a important factor.

Daily reports, photos, and links to news coverage are on the event news site at http://www.spie.org/DSSnews.

About SPIE:

SPIE is the international society for optics and photonics, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1955 to advance light-based technologies. The Society serves nearly 225,000 constituents from approximately 150 countries, offering conferences, continuing education, books, journals, and a digital library in support of interdisciplinary information exchange, professional growth, and patent precedent.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) April 25, 2012

Rapidly emerging graphite company Standard Graphite has just announced a significant acquisition of a high-grade graphite project with a large historical resource.– (Financial Press)

Earlier today the company announced it had successfully acquired the Mousseau East Deposit. The project has many inherent advantages including size, grade, and history.

The Mousseau East Deposit was originally discovered in 1983. It’s located in one of the most prolific graphite-bearing regions in the world in Quebec. And it’s only about 50 kilometers of the Lac-des-Iles Graphite Mine, one of North America’s very few operational graphite mines.

The Mousseau East Deposit has had extensive exploration work completed on it throughout the years. Graphicor, the graphite company who previously owned the Mousseau East Deposit, proved up a sizeable historical resource (Note: the resource is based on historical results and is not compliant with NI 43-101 standards).

Based on past drilling results, Graphicor estimated the deposit to contain the following graphite resources:

    Proven – 598,480 tonnes of 8.29% Cg

    Probable – 219,450 tonnes of 8.13% Cg

    Possible – 288,760 tonnes of 7.85% Cg

That puts the Proven, Probable, and Possible historical contained graphite at 90,123 tonnes.

Those estimates were further verified by Derry, Michener, Booth and Wahl (DMB&W).

DMB&W analyzed the exploration data and estimated the Mousseau East Deposit to contain the following graphite resources:

Probable – 578,500 tonnes of 8.02% Cg

Possible – 528,080 tonnes of 8.28% Cg

DMB&W’s estimates confirmed an estimated 90,121 tonnes of high-grade graphite on the Mousseau East Deposit.

On the market, that’s a gross metal value of anywhere between $ 90 million (@ $ 1,000 tonne Cg) and $ 450 million (@ $ 5,000 Cg) depending on the flake size of the graphite and other graphite market factors. Either way, it’s a sizeable acquisition for Standard Graphite which has a current market capitalization of about $ 14 million.

The company states the importance of the acquisition by saying it “is now in a position to build a NI 43-101 resource by upgrading the historical non-compliant resource and with strategic exploration of the deposit.”

This is a major step forward for Standard Graphite and is yet another move which further differentiates company. This acquisition gives Stand Graphite the opportunity to accelerate the official delineation of a graphite resource which opens up further later-stage development opportunities. Many junior graphite companies are merely explorers with no known discover and are very long time away from proving up a resource.

The acquisition is also another strategic move in Standard Graphite’s development. The company is one of the early leaders in the graphite boom. It originally acquired its graphite assets last year well before the market for graphite stocks exploded. And the company has also attracted some top talent to drive the projects forward.

Standard Graphite is one of the few companies to hire graphite industry personnel with the experience necessary to make a project and an operational mine successful.

For example, a few weeks ago when the company announced it has added Benoit Gascon as Senior VP of Business Development.

Gascon has more than two decades of experience in the graphite industry. He led one of the few graphite producing mines as president of Stratmin Graphite. The company, under Gascon’s leadership, was eventually taken over by Imerys SA and formed Timcal Graphite. The mine is still in operation today.

After the successful takeover, Gascon stayed on with Timcal. He assumed multiple management positions within Timcal including Senior VP of sales. When dealing with specialty metals like graphite, rare earths, lithium, and others, an executive at the company must be familiar and experienced with the actual marketplaces for these metals.

Gascon is just the latest addition to a growing, experienced team with proven capability.

Patrick Downey is already on the board of advisors to Standard Graphite. He was the CEO of Viceroy Exploration Ltd. before was acquired by Yamana Gold for $ 600 million. He was also the president of Consolidated Trillion Resources Ltd. and Oliver Gold Corporation, where he negotiated their successful merger to form Canico Resource Corp. Canico was then bought out by CVRD for more than $ 800 million.

In addition to Downey, Standard Graphite has attracted another prominent leader, Stephen Stanley. Stanley was the President & CEO of Hathor Exploration for five years until it was bought out. Hathor was acquired by Rio Tinto PLC for more than $ 650 million.

Standard Graphite has been aggressively assembling the projects and personnel to position itself as one of the big success stories in the ongoing graphite boom. The company has multiple other graphite properties and has completed multiple surveys and other geological reconnaissance on them as well.

The Mousseau East Deposit acquisition accelerates the company’s timeline as it’s now in position to develop one of the first 43-101 compliant graphite resources in the rapidly expanding graphite exploration and development industry.
