    Editor's Note: Each week, Rubber & Plastics News will take a look at some of the rubber industry's new products and innovations on www.rubbernews.com. Does your company have a new product or new innovation? To be considered for inclusion in this recurring feature, email [email protected]

    ITW Fluids North America has launched a new aerosol line of products: DiamondKote DKW-4013A, DKW-4064 and DKW-4080.

    Unlike many release agents available in aerosols, ITW said the Franklynn DiamondKote aerosol products utilize a non-flammable nitrogen propellant and the products themselves are water-based.

    All three products in the line can be used for a variety of elastomers with some differences in where they excel, the company said.

    DiamondKote DKW-4013A is a water-based, silicone free semi-permanent mold release agent designed for use in the molding of silicone elastomers. DiamondKote DKW-4013A promotes good rubber flow without significant transfer and excellent release characteristics. Typical applications include the molding of seals, o-rings and gaskets. DiamondKote DKW-4013A also can be effective on a variety of peroxide cured elastomers including EPDM, FKM, and HNBR, the company claimed.

    DiamondKote DKW-4064 is a water-based, semi-permanent mold release agent designed for use in the molding of various peroxide cured elastomers such as EPDM and FKM. It is especially effective in the molding of elastomeric seals and gaskets and promotes good rubber flow while minimizing transfer and helping to keep molds clean, according to ITW Fluids.

    DiamondKote DKW-4080 is a water-based, semi-permanent mold release agent designed for use in the molding of various peroxide cured elastomers such as EPDM, FKM and silicone. The company said it is especially effective in the molding of elastomeric seals and gaskets and promotes good rubber flow while minimizing transfer and helping to keep molds clean.

    LMI Technologies Inc. has announced the availability of the latest version of FlexScan3D 3.3.2 software. The company developed the 3D scanning technology to power the HDI 3D scanners that capture accurate, high-resolution 3D digital models from real-world objects.

    Advancements in this software release continue to focus on optimizing the 3D scanning workflow, LMI said, by introducing more features that automate steps that were previously done manually. The streamlined workflow has the ability to generate digital 3D models from physical objects faster than ever before, according to the firm. The models can be exported for use in a variety of applications, including reverse engineering, 3D printing, visualization or inspection.

    Features include:

    • Live scanning automates the 3D scanning process;

    • Automated mesh geometry alignment speeds up scan alignment process;

    • Independent photogrammetry marker exposure; and

    • Motion control plugins.

    FlexScan3D 3.3.2 is available with the purchase of the HDI 3D Scanners, including the HDI Advance and the HDI 120. The latest version supports Italian, English, French, German and Chinese. Customers with valid maintenance package can also download the software for free.

    For more information, visit the company's website.

    Synthomer L.L.C. launched its latest NBR latex grade for protective gloves at the seventh International Rubber Glove Conference & Exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, held Sept. 2-4.

    The Synthomer 6330 product is designed to provide protective glove manufacturers with low glove weight, good tensile strength with excellent elongation, low odor and superior processability, according to Synthomer.

    Synthomer´s product portfolio for the dipping industry includes nitrile latex, natural rubber latex, chloroprene latex and chemical dispersions, and it is one of the broadest product ranges from a single supplier for the dipping industry, according to the firm.
