INTRODUCTION

MEL CHEMICALS/MEI/Nikkei-MEL(ME) are the largest and most innovative manufacturer of zirconium compounds in the world. With production sites in the USA, UK and Japan we have a global impact on the catalyst market. Our products now play such a fundamental role in the manufacturing process, we consider ourselves 'partners in industry' to our customers.

In recent years the use of zirconium oxides/hydroxides in catalyst systems has grown rapidly. The...

Advanced aerospace insulation finds many uses in industrial applications: high performance microporous-based insulating products--the most efficient high-temperature systems currently available--used by today's technology-driven aircraft manufacturers are also finding wide acceptance in industrial applications.(Ceramics & Refractories/Insulation)
Industrial Heating ; Design considerations for highly efficient thermal insulation systems for use in the aerospace industry led researchers to define an optimum theoretical thermal insulation. This is based on minimizing the primary modes of heat transfer involving the simultaneous action of solid conduction, gas
Decorative trivalent chromium plating: with corrosion protection that is better than standard hexavalent chromium deposits and equal to hexavalent microporous chromium deposits, trivalent chromium deserves a closer look as a decorative plating option.(PLATING: TRIVALENT CHROMIUM)
Finishing Today ; [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The first commercial trivalent chromium bath, based on a sulfate/ chloride electrolyte, was introduced by Albright & Wilson in 1975. Since then, the long-term corrosion protection of trivalent chromium over multilayer nickel deposits has been proven repeatedly. Tests
