Ceramic-Gold Blend Provides Protection from Conductive and Radiant Heat Sources

Engineers who previously had to rely on multiple products to protect composites and heat-sensitive parts from different forms of heat damage can now specify a single coating or heatshield from Zircotec. Thanks to its unique combination of ceramic and gold, ThermoHold® GOLD (for composites) and its sister product ZircoFlex® GOLD provide protection from both conductive and radiant heat sources thanks to the blend of ceramic insulation and real 24 carat gold providing 98 percent reflectivity.

Innovative Plastic Composite Material to Stabilize Building Walls during Earth Quakes

In the case of earthquakes, only seconds may remain for a safe escape from buildings. Debris falling down and obstructing the escape routes may even aggravate the situation. A product developed at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) extends the time for saving lives by reinforcing walls and keeping off the debris. An innovative building material manufacturer now has launched the mature innovation on the market.
