ILC Dover, Frederica, Del., announced its flexible containment systems are being offered for nanotechnology applications that use tiny particles that are difficult to contain.
ILC Dover pioneered flexible containment for the pharmaceutical industry 16 years ago and is now being seen as the industry leader in engineered controls for nanoparticles, according to a release.
ILC Dover offers a broad range of flexible systems to support safe nanoparticle processing operations.
Processes that can benefit from their solutions include, weighing, blending, particle sizing, as well as vessel charging and offloading.
Such operations can eliminate the need for expensive stainless steel isolators, reducing product loss via exhaust ventilation, and reducing downtime caused by cleaning that is needed in uncontrolled processes. In addition, product quality is maximized by eliminating cross contamination issues.
“We collaborate with manufacturers, researchers, educators, and government agencies to develop the most effective approach for each specific application,” said Alan George, Business Development Manager for ILC’s Commercial Containment Products group. “We look to help create a safe working environment using our standard solutions, but we also specialize in custom exposure control designs so that the right tool is provided for the right process.”
Known for production of space suits for NASA, ILC specializes in the use of high-performance flexible materials. To view ILC Dover’s solutions for worker safety, visit at www.ilcdover.com/Industrial-Containment.
