constantly being pushed. Techsil understands these unique challenges and offers a broad range of silicone products that can provide environmental protection, increase hardware reliability, improve sensor performance and extend component life. You may ask why you would choose silicones for


A


Drone and UAV manufacture. The answer is simple, they offer properties perfectly suited to the challenges faced. They deliver a sustained flexibility in extremely low temperatures whilst also offering excellent dielectric and thermal insulation. They provide UV and Ozone resistance and will cure at room temperature, no heat required! Working in partnership with Momentive Performance


Materials, from launch to landing, our range advanced silicone products enable the next generation of UAVs. Contact us to speak with our Technical Team for more information.

erman manufacturer SMP introduces inductive components for environmental applications. The components are fitted in inverters, power converters and high frequency converters used in waste and raw material


recycling plants, garbage processing, or sewage and water treatment plants. The chokes, EMC filters, mid frequency transformers and soft magnetic cores from SMP are extremely energy-efficient, low-loss, and designed to perform flawlessly in harsh environmental conditions. The components conform to thermal class H (180°C) according to DIN EN 60085, fire protection class HL3 according to DIN EN 45545 and protection classes from IP00 to IP66 according to DIN EN 60529. They can be used in PD4 environmental conditions. The range of uses extends from currents up to 3000 A, frequencies up to 5 GHz, and a saturation flux density of up to 2 Tesla. All components are RoHS- and REACH-compliant and CE, EAC and UKCA certified. The materials used are UL listed.

Thorn Light Scotland's First Passivhaus Nursery W


a low energy scheme to deliver optimum comfort for users, keeping carbon emissions to a minimum. The Thorn scheme included continuous suspended IQ


Waves in the main nursery space, Omega Pro 2 for offices and kitchen, Chalice in the toilets and corridors, and R2L2 in the external car park.


Elsie Aitken, Development Officer at West Lothian Council, says, "'The lighting is great because it's flexible


and allows the room to be lit to meet the children's needs. Outdoor play is an important part of the school's curriculum, so it is great that the external lights will allow the children to play outdoors in the autumn and enhance the look of the building."

Multi-reasons to choose C.K’s new multitool accessories


C


.K Tools, the hand tools specialist, is extending its trade favourite multitool accessories range with the launch of three new products.


With oscillating tools a staple for electricians who work with a variety of materials, C.K Tools’ new multitool


accessories include a Carbide Blade (T0877), Scraper (T0878) and Box Cutter (T0880), ensuring versatility and precision for any occasion. The Multitool Carbide Blade (T0877) is designed for heavy duty jobs and cutting through tough metals such as


steel pipework or conduit, as well as damaged fixings such as screws, nails and bolts. The reinforced blade provides great durability and supports the requirement for precise cutting in what can often be tight working areas. For removing unwanted surface material, the Multitool Scraper (T0878) takes less effort and makes less damage


than a manual job and its stainless-steel blade provides strength and an easy-clean surface from waste residue. The Multitool Box Cutter (T0880) provides users with quick, clean and precise cutting of one and two-gang sockets in plasterboard, wood and plastic. Its unique cutting guide also allows for more efficient secondary cuts. Not only do the accessories offer great versatility they also have a universal quick-change fitment to


facilitate use with most brands of multitool. For over 100 years, C.K has been at the forefront of hand tool manufacturing and develops its products in


collaboration with trade professionals, ensuring they are engineered for long-life performance and safety. Carl Kammerling International (CKI)
