ViewTech Borescopes Exhibiting at Inaugural AMPP Annual Conference & Expo

TRAVERSE City, Mich. -- Since the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE International) and the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) merged in 2021 and formed the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), a global community with more than 40,000 members was formed to advance corrosion prevention. ViewTech Borescopes will be one of hundreds of exhibitors connecting with corrosion and protective coating professionals March 7 - 9 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas during the first annual AMPP Annual Conference & Expo.

With corrosion affecting nearly every industry, ViewTech's inspection video borescopes allow contractors, inspectors, engineers, and technicians to see inside critical components without costly, time-consuming disassembly. As the largest international coatings and corrosion trade show, the AMPP Annual Conference & Expo is anticipating more than 6,000 attendees to visit the expo hall, which will also feature a heavy equipment area and coatings experience area.

With a variety of insertion tube diameters and lengths, ViewTech will have several borescope options on-hand at booth 926 throughout the AMPP Annual Conference & Expo. Inspection borescopes available include the VJ-3 Dual Camera video borescope, VJ-3 Far Focus video borescope, VJ-3 2.8mm video borescope, and VJ-3 3.9mm video borescope. ViewTech Sales Consultant, Evan Miller, will be able to share the advantages of using a VJ-3 video borescope to assist with inspections, maintenance, and quality control.

Both AMPP attendees and exhibitors are encouraged to visit ViewTech at booth 926, select a borescope that would work best for their inspection application, and reserve a no-cost demo during exhibit hall hours. While not all AMPP members are able to attend the first AMPP Annual Conference & Expo, the video borescope experts at ViewTech suggests contacting them to trial a VJ-3 mechanical articulating video borescope at their own facility for free with a no-cost, no-obligation demo.

VJ-3 Video Borescope

The VJ-3 mechanical articulating video borescope is a nondestructive visual testing instrument used for the remote visual inspection of machinery, equipment, and components. The VJ-3 facilitates the visual recording and photo documentation of an inspection and components in areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require great effort and expense to access directly. The VJ-3 consists of two modules integrated into one system: an insertion tube with distally mounted camera/LEDs, and the base unit with control panel, LCD monitor, power source and all necessary circuitry.

About ViewTech Borescopes

ViewTech Borescopes, founded as RF System Lab in 2008, is North America's #1 seller of video borescopes. Their first product, the VJ borescope, set a new standard for portability, ergonomics, and ease-of-use, with its industry-first mechanical, joystick-controlled articulation.

Talon International Announces Launch of 100% Sustainable Ghost Net Products

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. -- After years of meaningful development, Talon International is proud to announce the launch of its innovative Ghost Net Products. The company successfully developed a solution to improving marine habitats by collecting and recycling the surplus of plastic waste that has consumed our beloved oceans.

Plastic waste has finally reached the top of society's agenda. Only nine percent of the plastic produced since the beginning of the material's revolutionary debut has been recycled. Unfortunately, much of the remainder invade our waters-4.9 billion tons consuming the habitats of vital marine wildlife. If the trend continues, our oceans will contain more plastic than fish in less than thirty years.

Talon has taken to collecting abandoned ghost nets, a substantial portion of our planet's plastic waste, and developing them into an assortment of practical fashion items, including zippers, buckles, cord adjusters, buttons, and more. The company's process is simple: search, collect, clean, regenerate, and develop the recycled resin into innovative products that will change the world, one ghost net at a time.

Talon International has been awarded the Global Recycled Standard by the INFL Laboratory and Institute, certifying that its Ghost Net Products and manufacturing practices conform with international voluntary standards. The company currently coordinates and operates the recycling of ghost nets found amongst China's shores. Talon is honored to be the first audited and certified fishing net recycling system in China.

Larry Dyne, CEO of Talon International explains, "We believe that the solution is obvious. We have been practicing it for years now. Reuse! At Talon, we are at the forefront of innovation and sustainability. We coordinate and operate the collection and recycling of ocean waste plastic, including fishing nets, to reduce the environmental harm."

Alongside their corporate efforts to push the boundaries with innovative designs and solutions, Talon International presents retailers everywhere the opportunity to take part in raising sustainability standards. Talon designed the sustainable Ghost Net Product line with their valued partners in mind, in hopes to encourage more retailers like yours to make a difference.

Hand-in-hand, companies everywhere have the power to make a positive, influential impact on the planet. Until zero ghost nets remain in our oceans, let us reduce, reuse, and recycle together.

Ken Rakusin Grows Gordon Brush Mfg. Co. Inc. Into Major US Manufacturer of Industrial Brushes

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. -- In 1990, Ken Rakusin took the position of president at Gordon Brush Manufacturing Company, but he was not sure what he was getting himself into. The company was based out of a dark and rundown 15,000 square foot facility.

"We had 22 employees. I mean, this was a little, tiny company that was on the verge of going out of business, and every year, for the next six years, I was able to double the company's profits," Rakusin said.

Thirty-one years later, Rakusin said there are 200 employees in a 182,000 square foot facility making more than 17,000 types of brushes for many industries, including medical, aerospace, janitorial and military.

Rakusin remains committed to keeping jobs in the City of Industry, despite an increasing number of manufacturers going overseas for cheaper labor.

"I could put a lot of money in my pocket if I outsourced everything and I went to China or Mexico," he said. "But I also have this loyalty to my employees. We have people that have been here more than 35 years. Our plant manager used to be the janitor."

However, one challenge of staying put in the U.S. is finding workers who have the skills or the desire to work a blue-collar job.

"Nobody that works in a factory that when they were going through school said, 'Gee, I want to make brushes for a living,'" Rakusin said. "It doesn't happen."

It is an issue that Joanna McClaskey, the executive director of the Industry Business Council, is looking at as part of the Made in City of Industry initiative.

The goal is to keep existing manufacturers, which provide about 17,000 local jobs, or 25% of total employment, and attract new ones to the city.

"There are so many people that college is not their first choice of what they should do in their life," Rakusin said. "They might want to work with their hands. They have this great mechanical mind, or they have this great mind where they love to see machines work and operate and design machines."

He ultimately wants to see more education in the U.S. geared toward those who work best with their hands, preparing them for blue-collar jobs critical to the economy.

MicroShield 360 Reflects on Impact to Private Aviation

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- MicroShield 360, an industry leader in antimicrobial coatings, has announced today that in the last year, more than 600 private aircraft have had the company's highly durable antimicrobial product applied to interior surfaces for added protection. Due to demand for safer air travel amid the on-going pandemic, MicroShield 360 is expanding application and distribution capabilities to meet the demand of the aviation industry.

A key component to the company's strategy was to create a better price point for its loyal customers and lower barrier of entry for new customers.

"2020 was a year marked by unexpected challenges for everyone, including us," said Steve Kubec, Vice President of MicroShield 360. "We knew in 2021 that we would have to challenge ourselves to deliver our products and services to a wider audience with more efficiency. Our strategic approach now includes competitive pricing and expanded product offerings. We understand this all about accessibility and consumer confidence."

MicroShield 360 has created a robust and detailed web-based training program that is available to any company or aviation end-user that wants to have the antimicrobial coating applied to its aircraft to create the safest environment possible. This is coupled with the release of MicroShield 360 Endure, a non-alcohol-based hand sanitizer that is effective for up to 4 hours.

"The product line and service are built on flexibility and the preference of our clients," says Kubec. "Our aviation partners have been amazing over the last year. Without their dedication to their customers and crew members, we would not be in the position we are today to help create the peace of mind everyone wants when they step onto a plane. The confidence to travel safely is paramount to our culture and economy, now more than ever."

MicroShield 360 is approved by Bombardier, Embraer, Dassault and multiple component manufacturers for application to virtually every surface on an airplane, including the cockpit.

"We cannot put into words how appreciative we are of these company's efforts to approve of, and more importantly improve on, what we can bring to the market." Kubec continues with, "We look forward to continuing to establish the aviation industry standard for safe, clean and protected air travel."

The MicroShield 360 antimicrobial coating, disinfectant and hand sanitizer are now available for purchase direct from the company, OEMs, Embraer, and Bombardier, as well as any of its authorized application agents throughout the United States.

ITS Looks to A Green Future by Cutting Down on Plastic Packaging

ROCK HILL, S.C. -- For over 30 years, Industrial Test Systems, Inc. (ITS) has been a leading innovator of instruments and chemistries designed to test water quality. The company continues to push industry boundaries by shifting its packaging process and reducing its carbon footprint.

Known among many things for their easy-to-use test strips, ITS has long since packaged their products using blister-style packaging. This packaging style is not only bulky, but it creates unnecessary plastic waste. Despite this, several companies continue to implement blister packaging. ITS however, in an effort to decrease their carbon footprint, has moved away from industry standards and has made strides to produce products focused on sustainability.

ITS recently unveiled a new line of eco-friendly packets. These "pocket packets" use no plastic and opt instead for paper that is light and recyclable. Their packet like design is especially noteworthy as it holds up to 30 water quality tests in a packet that easily fits into the palm of your hand and is no thicker than a few sheets of paper.

This year also brought changes to many of the company's other long-running products. Several products were slimmed down and moved away from plastic blistering in efforts to reduce plastic waste. Amongst these were the Safe Well Check™ and the Safe Tap Check™ Kit for water quality testing designed to measure the major parameters in city and well water.

As the company moves forward, there is excitement to see where their next push towards sustainability takes them.

For more information on any of the products offered by ITS, please contact a knowledgeable ITS Product Manager by calling (803) 329-9712 or toll-free at 1-800-861-9712.

MINLOX Announces Launch of ‘The Ultimate Chemical for Water’

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- MINLOX, LLC, a chemical manufacturer based in Newport Beach, California, with multiple blending facilities globally, today announced the launch of its proprietary formula used to treat recreation waters as well as watersheds.

This product proves to be a big game-changer for water service companies as it reduces their chemical footprint significantly. Similar to ozone but much more effective, this proven chemical is a multi-functional liquid that is simply applied in concentrate or dilution form to affected areas.

Historically, pool service and lake & pond service companies have relied on multiple, toxic chemicals to treat issues such as bacteria, algae and turbidity. In doing so, they have resorted to using as many as 5-10 chemicals to complete a job. This antiquated method is costly and provides risk with DBPs (disinfection by-products). The alternative method of using ozone to treat water is always a costly one and typically a last resort for many customers as well.

"To say that this technology is a disruptive, game-changer would be quite an understatement," said company president, Wes Glenn. "Case in point: we helped a commercial pool service company save over $10K per month on their chemical bill. They were using 5K+ gallons of chlorine monthly for one of their customers and switched to MINLOX chemical which got the job done with only 500 gallons needed per month. They were pleasantly surprised, to say the least."

This NSF/ANSI 60 approved chemical has an MSRP of $99 per gallon to the general public but is sold at distributor pricing to water service companies only. MINLOX does not sell direct to customers or retail outlets. Water service companies interested in distributing this product should contact the office for more information.

Applications and testing information: https://minlox.us/applications

About MINLOX, LLC:

Based in Newport Beach, California, MINLOX is a U.S. chemical manufacturer that has a proprietary catalyst which mixes with 12.5% sodium hypochlorite to create an earth-friendly, 100% biodegradable chemical for treating contaminated waters in many markets. This technology was developed in 2011 and has been used in several market around the world. This formula mimics nature by using ROS (reactive oxygen species) to disinfect, oxidize, sanitize, deodorize, remove biofilm and metals, etc.

The multi-functional benefit of MINLOX is that it replaces the need to use multiple, toxic chemicals. It works as a standalone product or can supplement chemicals such as ozone and chlorine more effectively.

MINLOX is open to distributorship in the California, Arizona and Nevada markets for 2021. They will pursue the North American markets in 2022 and the International markets in 2023.
