We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Environmental Protection",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Replacing HCFC in aerospace applications from
Stowlin Croftshaw, which we summarised at the time by saying "Stowlin Croftshaw has introduced a high performance solvent cleaner that will remove difficult soils in open-top and vacuum vapour degreasers".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Linear actuators have longer life with cover seal from
Parker Electromechanical Automation USA: "The PROmech series linear actuators from Parker's Electromechanical Automation Division now have a cover seal to protect the screw from particulate matter and other debris, for longer product life".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Schneider Electric
concerning its Modicon M340 PLC
- take a look at Innovative PLC makes automation simple and open
which says: "A mid-range yet powerful programmable controller offers high performance, multi-tasked processing and support for all five of the IEC61131/3 programming languages".
Take a look also at the news release from Sabic Innovative Plastics, Thermoplastic resins are flame-retardent,
as well as n.propyl bromide acceptable cleaning solvent in US from Enviro Tech Europe,
and Help with the Reach EU regulation of chemicals from SGS.
