Benefits of Silica Gel 

What Are Silica Gel Packets?

Silica gel is a desiccant that can absorb moisture content from its surroundings. It is popular in the market, because of the ability to absorb moisture and water content from the atmosphere it can protect products from the damages due to excess water content.

There is a lot of products on the market that can be damaged due to moisture presence. It will make a big loss to the production companies as well as to the transportation companies. Therefore desiccants become the most popular product in between them. In all the desiccants, silica gel desiccant is the most common one.

Silica gel is easily available on the market worldwide. It is not reactive with any other chemicals, oils, acids, or any type of substance. It is considering as an inactive agent with other things. Therefore we can handle it easily as well as we can dispose of it with normal disposals.

Desiccants are one of the best and cost-effective for companies to protect their products from excess water content or damages.  We can see small silica gel packets along with some products which need dry packaging such as shoes, laptops, some medicines...etc.

To avoid the spoilage of many products we can keep silica gel packets along with it. It will not harm us because of its inactive character. The products such as electronics, vitamins, medical products such as pregnancy tester devices, leather goods, dried meat products, dried nuts and fruits, bread products, and more.

Once you got silica gel packets along with any products, do not throw it. Because it has many other benefits apart from industrial uses. In our daily life we can use these tiny packets for several applications such as to remove water content from our mobile screen, to avoid spoilage of coffee powder, to protect pregnancy test kit from moisture...etc.

Band IT Clamping Solutions

Band-IT Clamping Solutions

QTEQ has chosen pre-cut Band-IT clamping solutions to reduce hand injuries.

QTEQ employees were facing difficulties to cut the clamps for the specific uses. Finally, they approached Band-IT for a good solution to the sharp edges that were the results of cutting roll band to length. Band-IT offered pre-cut BAND-IT Clamps with seals. It is cost-effective and providing high quality for the life-time. Replacement or reinstallation is not required.

If the employees are cutting the bands as per the length on the live spot, it will be too much complicated. Pre-cut Band-IT clamps had a smoother finished edge than the bands cut to length on-site. Pre-cut band-IT clamps reduced helped to save the time of employees. While the bands were more expensive to purchase, the benefits were immediate.

Zero hand injuries reported from QTEQ after switching to the new banding with more than 300,000 units installed safely. 30% reduction in glove wear rate due to the reduced abrasion in the pre-cut Band-IT clamp. This product can be saved 20 minutes from every installation. By the way, there must be a big difference in the complete installation time. 

Installation: xe4809 from pneumatic combination tool. BAND-IT recommends the XE4809 Fromm tool which tensions, seals, and cuts the bands for installing the 3/4" (19mm) BAND-FAST bands with seals. Plastic cable ties can't withstand harsh environments. Therefore, stainless steel cable ties developed by Band-IT. and stainless steel cable ties replaced plastic ties in a harsh environment.

Band-it cable ties made from high-quality metals. Due to the highly-corrosive atmosphere, as even 304 stainless steel is subject to rust after an extended period, the conditions in the refinery complex are unique. Because of this, the specific requirement was for high-strength, durable clamping solutions to cater for these challenging conditions. At first, the company was using plastic cable ties for the facility’s electric cables. Plastic cable ties are proved not durable in the harsh operating environment.

Over a five-month period, Banding & ID Solutions Africa has been upgrading the tying system used on the cables at the refinery complex using a mixture of reusable Band-It cable ties. To date, it has supplied about 10,000 reusable Band-It cable ties to the company.

Band-IT Tie-Lok Ties

Band-IT Tie-Lok Ties

What makes tie-lok better?

Various grades of stainless steel are used for making it, Tie-Lok ties expand and contract with the thermal cycles of the exhaust. BAND-IT fasteners also use more noble metals within the tie composition that resists attack from road salts and other de-icing chemicals. And because BAND-IT provides complete solutions, they developed the IT Tool system, a pneumatic banding tool that creates installing Tie-Lok ties simple, precise and consistent.

Let's look at the process and economics. Welding calls for greater technical skills (and the associated salary), more capital investment in equipment, requires a hot work permit and yearly inspection, and a lot more energy. Band-IT fasteners are safer for workers, faster to install and not subject to environmental regulation. Warranty claims are virtually eliminated, which not only saves money in the long-run but enhances the manufacturer’s reputation for reliability.

Tie-Lok Ties help ensure that heat shields protect components and profits

The proven performance of Band-IT fasteners is where the rubber meets the road. In this application that’s the “hot end” of the exhaust system. Only solutions made with select materials under exacting manufacturing tolerances can meet the 10-year 100,000-mile survivability threshold and emissions requirements for auto manufacturers. BAND-IT gets you there.

The problems with attaching irregular shaped parts or fabric (sock) shields solved with band clamps. Band-IT’s heat resistant, high strength, corrosion, vibration, clamping systems replace welding and welded bolt-clamps.

Where the above stresses result in broken welds, failed assemblies and warranty repairs, BAND-IT’s ULTRA-LOK® employed in large commercial vehicle diesel applications shrugs off all those environmental realities thriving in an environment for which it is perfectly suited.

Band-IT can solve all the problems related to fastening difficulties. The best clamping solutions are offering them. It has Marine and aerospace approval. Even  NASA also trusting them to use Band-IT products for their aerospace fastening applications.

Band-IT Intelligent Clamping Solutions

Band-IT Intelligent Clamping Solutions

Band-IT offers Dual-lokt® intelligent clamping system secures the #1 position for safety restraint leader. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes a target to reduce road traffic deaths and injuries by 50% by 2020. Commented by World Health Organization.

Airbag systems in vehicles today take passenger safety to a new level of effectiveness. For the number one safety restraint company in the world, a cutting-edge installation system ensures that airbags deploy and protect as designed, and faster and easier installation creates a competitive differentiator. Band-IT clamping solutions offer it.

The mother of development is a necessity

In addition to the simple fact that people prefer to buy safer vehicles, industry regulations put pressure on auto manufacturers to develop safety solutions that reduce traffic deaths and injuries. We need to understand why Band-IT clamping solutions are better. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stipulates that side airbags need to deploy in less than 1/20th of a second. Current airbag deployment designs can meet that requirement.

Unfortunately, the industry-standard airbag clamping system capabilities are exceeded by those designs. That problem sent Band-IT to the drawing board. Airbags in automobiles were introduced in the late 1960s. In 1995, Volvo began offering side airbags and torso side protection airbags as an option on its 850 models.

What makes dual-lokt better?

Based on the customer's requirements, BAND-IT developed the patented Dual-Lokt Intelligent Band-IT Clamping System. The speediest, most accurate and ergonomic installation airbag clamp system in the world. The Dual Lokt Clamp is the heart of the solution, that exhibits extreme diameter reduction, 2 1/2 times greater loop tensile strength than the competitor’s system. It is manufactured with materials chosen for optimal performance and price.

Band-it also invented an installation system. It’s managed by a programmable logic controller (PLC), that provided never-before achieved control and accuracy in the installation process. The system set a new global standard for a clamping system installation on Automotive Safety Products.
