Air Logic’s Umbrella Check Valve embodies a forward-thinking model.
Air Logic’s Umbrella Check Valve is a first-in-class design that rethinks the fundamentals of non-return valves. Crafted with a plastic body and a preloaded elastomer seat, the umbrella valve embodies a forward-thinking approach to minimising the flaws of its predecessors. With a specific focus on addressing cracking pressures of below 2 psi, the umbrella check valve delivers a unique set of advantages that set it apart in the check valve landscape.
In cases requiring low cracking pressure, Poppet and Spring- loaded Ball style check valves struggle due to inconsistent performance from lightweight coil springs. To address variability or the specification for no metal, many OEMs opt for the Duckbill style check valve. However, Duckbills often stick together, causing erratic cracking pressure. Manufacturers sometimes use lubrication initially, but this diminishes with use, reducing efficiency and contaminating the system. Air Logic’s Umbrella Check Valves are robustly configured to not include lubrication and can handle much more of an operating range, continuing to function at pressures that would cause a Duckbill to fail.
The polypropylene and silicone variation of the Umbrella Check Valve has been meticulously engineered to meet the stringent demands of the life science sector. This specific model addresses critical industry requirements such as biocompatibility, chemical

biotechnological applications. Notably, these materials have been chosen for their compliance with relevant agency ratings, including USP Class VI for biocompatibility and FDA 21 CFR for food and drug safety. Significantly, the design intentionally avoids the incorporation of materials like DEHP and BPA, known for their potential health risks, thereby aligning with the industry’s shift towards safer and more environmentally conscious manufacturing practices.

Custom-
manufactured radiopaque clad wires

■ Biosensors ■ Monitors
Anomet’s clad composite wires offer an alternative to typical medical wires.
Anomet Products has introduced custom-manufactured clad composite wires − an effective alternative to solid precious- metal wires with marker bands − to improve the visibility of implantable devices. This clad wire is a proven alternative to wires typically used in medical disciplines, such as: ■ Cardiac rhythm management (pacing and defibrillation)
■ Neurostimulation ■ Vascular therapy (stents,
Anomet radiopaque clad wires allow original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to specify the degree of visibility they desire under fluoroscopy, by selecting the radiopaque alloys and cladding thickness best suited to their products. Easier to see than solid wires with marker bands, they are offered in sizes between 0.05mm and 1.52mm (outside diameter) for use with stents, guide wires and related devices. Featuring platinum-iridium, tantalum and tantalum-tungsten alloys, as well as similar alloys metallurgically bonded to high- strength wires, such as 316LVM stainless steel, nitinol and MP35N with cladding thickness of 2% or higher, Anomet radiopaque clad wires have a smooth, consistent finish. They are supplied on spools and manufactured to precise OEM specifications. Anomet is well known as a leader in innovative composite metal products. Founded in 1976, it specialises in the manufacture of custom-clad metal composites featuring a true metallurgical bond. The company is dedicated to developing new products using advanced metallurgical technology, resulting in long- lasting, reliable and cost- effective materials. With material costs today representing 90% of the overall cost of products, Anomet specialises in helping to reduce costs, while improving material properties and quality. Producing clad wire, rod, bars, ribbons and plates, Anomet offers a wide range of metal alloy compositions that are available with virtually any ratio or thickness. The major industries the company serves include aerospace, automotive, appliance, corrosion protection, defence, electrochemical,
electronic, industrial, medical, and oil and gas.

High-quality rubber products
Da/Pro Rubber’s products meet demanding standards.
Da/Pro Rubber manufactures custom products including diaphragms, seals, connectors, custom shapes, rubber-to-metal parts and more. Its facilities are located in Oklahoma, California, Massachusetts, Singapore, as well as Malaysia, and it has ISO 9001-certified facilities and a class 10,000 cleanroom. Known for high-precision, close-tolerance moulding services, Da/Pro Rubber can manufacture LIM/LSR products to these same demanding standards.
The compression and transfer moulding consists of proprietary processes developed by Da/Pro Rubber. The presses are designed to adjust for compound or part- configuration variables. The moulding process is computer- controlled and monitored to maintain consistent moulding conditions, assuring the duplication of the product throughout the moulding cycles. When it comes to material development and qualification, Da/Pro staff chemists are available to develop organic, inorganic or silicone compounds to satisfy specific customer requirements. The physical properties of all rubber compounds, which are critical to the function of the moulded product, are monitored in the Da/Pro Rubber laboratory. Da/Pro has a complete in-house engineering department to assist
