New ContaminEX Heavy Duty Wipes Remove Radioactive Isotopes

New Heavy Duty Wipes Remove Isotopes

A major UK Nuclear Decommissioning client has started using ContaminEX wipes at their Harwell site. Robots using wet wipes !

ContaminEX wipes were developed for Laboratories to remove trace elements of radio active isoptopes in Laboratory experiments.  In tests, the Nuclear reprocessing site found that the robots using ContaminEX wipes were able to reduce the presence of residual isotopes found on hard sufaces in the re-commissioning operations area.  Wiping the hard surfaces picks up low levels of radioactive isotopes that can contaminate the areas where future packing operations are to be carried out.

With premium car brands, its important that the cars arrive in the showroom in great condition.  The dealer wants to do a minimal amount of work before the car goes into the showroom.   That can be tricky on long journeys such as when exporting.  The situation is exacerbated by extended time on a transporter or container on a ship.   Cars are usually wrapped in film for outward protection but the underneath of the cars is often exposed to environmental effects for prolonged periods.  In winter especially, one of the difficult areas to address with corrosion is the visible signs on suspension and disk brakes.  To minimise this problem, Jaguar Cars trialed Ice Melt XM automotive industry deicer.  Ice Melt XM automotive industry deicer granules are used to de-ice the roads between the factory and rail head for Export Cars thereby reducing visible signs of corrosion.ice-melt-sack
