dvanced Polymer Coatings, Inc (APC) has signed an
exclusive North American distribution agreement with
Houston-based Strathmore, under which Strathmore will
sell APC-engineered linings for the rail industry.
The new agreement, termed ‘Partners in Performance’, is a
signifi cant opportunity to combine the strengths of two
companies to bring new custom linings solutions to the rail
industry.
APC global transportation sales manager Jim DeChant says that
as part of the agreement, APC will use its well-known and proven
ChemLINE coatings technology to formulate and produce
speciality rail linings that will be privately-labelled to Strathmore,
and sold within the Strathmore range of coatings.
According to Mike Wood, Strathmore’s director of rail sales and
southeast industrial sales: “Strathmore already has a well-defi ned
coatings product range for tank and hopper car applications
under the respected Stratholiner interior linings brand. Now with
APC’s technologies, we will be adding new linings to our product
offering, that deliver an ultra-high level of performance against
corrosion, and be able to handle a wide range of chemicals
Elafl ex’s ‘Camlock’ product range to EN 14420-7
now includes all sizes and types made of brass
for petroleum based products
including sulphuric acid, acetic acid, 37 percent hydrochloric acid,
methylene chloride, 50 percent sodium hydroxide and others.”
Strathmore will be immediately introducing three new protective
linings as part of the agreement. These are: Stratholiner 7840, a
lining with superior chemical resistance and high temperature
resistance; Stratholiner 7900, a high solids protective lining for
application with plural component equipment that can be applied
in one or two coats; and Stratholiner 8050, an anti-static lining
that provides conductive/static dissipating benefi ts.
Wood added: “This new relationship with APC expands our
opportunities in the rail market by giving us new, state-of-the art
lining solutions for our customers. We offer a full-service, turn-key
approach for every coatings segment of the rail industry. APC will
support our efforts by providing technical expertise, cargo testing,
and laboratory approvals for various chemicals that our clients
want to carry in these new Stratholiner coating systems, so this is
win-win situation for everyone involved.”

A
t this year’s PetroTrans show in Kassel, Germany, Elafl ex
presented products for road tankers.
They included the lightweight gravity discharge road tanker hoses
‘LG’ now also available in size 2ins for application as a lightweight
and very fl exible vapour recovery (vapour balance) hose.
Also on display was the ‘Camlock’ product range to EN 14420-7
from Elafl ex’s own production that now also include all sizes and
types made of brass for petroleum based products. Additionally
available are Easyloc female couplers with automatic lever lock made
of stainless steel in sizes DN 19-50.
‘DDC’ Dry Disconnect Couplings in DN 65 can also be supplied
with space-saving handles, hence suitable for tank trailer hose
connections.
In European countries, composite hoses are being used more and
more with electronic crossover prevention systems (COP). For the
fi rm’s range of ‘FWS’ composite hoses Elafl ex provides the ‘COPSAFE
system’ which guarantees functional and electrostatic safety for this
application.
Also at the booth two development studies were displayed. First, a
nozzle quick-change system involving a compact dry disconnect
coupling, that enables a fast switch between automatic nozzles (eg,
ZVA 25 ) and bulk delivery nozzles (ZV 400/500, ZH 50). Second, the
prototype of a modern, ergonomical and lightweight bulk delivery
nozzle for heating oil.

We believe in originality, but also in continuous improvement in our designs.
If a customer comes to us with a bespoke requirement, our design capabilities mean we can
produce one off prototypes that are tailored to their precise specifications. If a customer comes
to us and suggests a change to one of our products, we’re always ready to listen.
The new Fort Vale Superseat Footvalve is an example of developing an existing product, specifically
from customer feedback, for advancing corrosion resistance within hazardous cargo transportation.
Whether making standard equipment or specialist valves – originality, improvement, and
innovation are our focus.
cully Signal Company has released a new corporate profi le
video which highlights the company’s capabilities.
It includes interviews with the CEO, Eric Kirleis, and other
members of management, as well as an explanation of the entire
engineering, manufacturing, and test processes told by the
employees working in those departments.
“Most people in the industry know that we were the originators of
innovative oil delivery, static ground verifi cation and overfi ll
prevention systems,” said Katrina Scully Ohl, executive VP. “What
many do not realise is that we engineer, manufacture, test, and
service our products in one integrated facility. There are not many
companies that still retain all these processes under one roof. This
video offers a glimpse of our extensive capabilities and our
dedicated team of professionals.”
The fi lm includes an overview of Scully’s 82-year history, an
explanation of the patented Dynacheck self-checking circuitry, and
extensive footage of the manufacturing and test process at the
Wilmington, MA, USA factory.
