ColVisTec/Equitech end licensing deal
In-line instrumentation specialists ColVisTec, based in Berlin in Germa- ny, and Equitech International, based in Mullica Hill, NJ, US, have terminat- ed a long-standing license agree- ment. The move removes all restric- tions on supply and marketing of either company’s products globally. Equitech and ColVisTec develop, manufacture and install UV-Vis spectrophotometer systems and probes that can provide in-line monitoring of colour and composi- tion in continuous processes such as compounding and extrusion. ColVisTec also integrates inline NIR and Raman spectroscopy techniques.
ColVisTec Director of Sales and
Marketing Fuat Eker said the termina- tion agreement demonstrated the company’s commitment to making its technology available to customers on a worldwide basis. He said it will support its global customers from its Berlin headquarters. Equitech President and CEO Jaime Gómez said the move meant it could now market its equipment in the US and the Middle East. The company has appointed Barcelona, Spain- based Aquilar & Pineda as its Euro- pean representative. �

dingkechen@hotmail.com LG has solar in the frame
LG Chem has stepped into the solar power market with the development of a new flame retardant PC/ASA compound for production of light- weight and corrosion resistant PV frames. The new glass reinforced Lupoy EU5201 grade is claimed to offer the durability and stiffness of aluminium, the current preferred option for PV frames, but cuts weight by half. It also offers benefits in its resistance to
corrosion and UV exposure. The company is initially targeting the new compound at the Korean PV market. “Solar panel frames made of plastic have many advantages that differentiate them from existing frames, such as ease of installation, and therefore has great market poten- tial,” according to Steven Kim, Leader or the LG Chem Engineering Materi- als Division. �
