Get More From Floors – Get More Speed
F
lowcrete UK is promoting its rapid response flooring solution in its ongoing Get More From Floors campaign, which uses a multi-media approach to show specifiers how floors can play a major role in supporting good working environments. Flowcrete’s Flowfast is a fast cure MMA (methyl methacrylate) resin floor coating, which is generally ready for use just two hours after installation.
Available in a variety
of colours and finishes, Flowfast achieves full chemical and physical cure at an accelerated rate compared to other industrial resin systems, minimising disruption to working environments. The system, used extensively across commercial and industrial environments worldwide, is explored in detail by Flowcrete at the Get More From Floors online portal, available at
www.flowcrete.co.uk/campaigns/get-more-from- floors/get-more-speed
Pulling together content including video, case studies and technical data, the Get More From Floors resource centre shares Flowcrete’s 30 years’ wide-ranging experience and flooring expertise to help those tasked with selecting floor finishes make informed decisions. Get More From Floors, Get More Speed is the fourth of six subjects being explored throughout the long running campaign, following on from the issues of durability, hygiene and safety. The Flowfast range is available in finishes including multi-coloured quartz beads, as well as a choice of coloured, glitter or metallic flakes. The quartz system is ideal for working environments and can achieve a slip resistant surface for slippery and wet conditions. It can also be specified with the added benefit of coving, to create a totally sealed floor-to-wall environment. Another popular choice in the range is the decorative flake system Flowfast Terrosso, which combines decorative qualities with durability to deliver an exceptional finish for corridors and other high traffic areas. Flowcrete’s fast-track product offering also includes the industry-leading Industrial Floorzone concept, unique to Flowcrete UK. This system delivers the damp-proof membrane and fast-drying high strength Isocrete floor screed, topped off with a performance resin floor finish such as Flowfast – all from a single source and installed by Flowcrete’s approved contractor network. Flowcrete has vast experience within the industrial flooring industry - carrying out projects for Blue Chip clients including Bentley Motors, the RAF and BAE Systems - backed up with best in class customer and technical support services.

Advanced Optical Beam Smoke Detector for Moscow Airport
Vnukovo Airport, Moscow’s oldest and Russia’s 3rd busiest airport, as part of its new Esser fire protection system. They were supplied locally by the Moscow office of Honeywell Life Safety Austria. The high ceilings and large open spaces of airport terminal, storage and hangar buildings are ideal areas to take advantage of the benefits of a beam type smoke detector, and the Fireray 5000’s unique features place it at the forefront of the technology available on the market. In addition to installer-friendly features such as visual laser sighting,
A motorised automatic
alignment and a low level controller unit, the reflective beam system allows a single unit to cover a distance of 100m wall to wall with wiring and power only required at the beam transceiver end of the installation.

here are now two main bodies providing recommendations on good practice for first aid provision in the UK. In response to this, Arco, the UK’s leading supplier of safety equipment and workwear, has published the Expert Guide to First Aid Kits and Training in the Workplace to help guide businesses to the right kit and training for them. The Expert Guide has been developed to help businesses make decisions on the most suitable first aid kits by providing advice on current regulations and advising on the contents and size of kits required, plus showing the difference between the British Standard kit and the kit based on the Health & Safety Executive’s recommendations. The guide will also help businesses determine how many trained first aiders are needed on site and to what standard they will need to be trained. Currently the Health & Safety Executive and British Standard are providing recommendations on good practice for first aid provision in the workplace. The Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 Approved Code of Practice and Guidance from the HSE, sets out the essential aspects of first aid that employers have to address, including the provision of equipment, facilities and the appropriate number of trained persons.

expanded its illumia LED and light measurement product range with the introduction of illumia®lite. The portable system packages the accuracy of sphere-based measurement in a cost-effective handheld device suitable for use on the production floor, in the lab or in the field. The illumia lite overcomes the drawbacks inherent in other handhelds by incorporating a spectrometer calibrated for absolute spectral flux and employs an integrating sphere in its design. This combination delivers more complete spectral flux measurement capability than simple illuminance meters using near cosine receivers. The ergonomic handheld instrument measures both luminous flux and color of a device under test, including LEDs and other sources up to 1 cm in diameter. A built-in auxiliary lamp provides self-absorption correction for highly accurate results. The luminous flux range of illumia lite is 0.1 lumens to 5000 lumens, with a wavelength resolution of <5nm and accuracy of <0.5nm.
