Toroidal Transformers & Custom Coil Winding

Image
Toroidal transformers are small devices found in many of our everyday electronics. They are also found in life-saving medical equipment and help keep our military and police forces safe. Although most people have never heard of a   toroid   or custom coil winding, they greatly benefit from them. Toroidal transformers have emerged as an essential component in modern electronic systems, displaying a range of unique characteristics and advantages. These transformers stand apart from their traditional counterparts, from their distinct shape to their high efficiency. What Makes Toroids the Go to Choose for Transformers They are more environmentally friendly than other similarly powered transformers. This is true in two ways: first, these transformers have less power loss, meaning less power is used and wasted. They are a cleaner transformer. The second reason is the shape of a toroid is often smaller than other transformers, which means fewer materials are used during construction....

Additive Masterbatch Options

Image
Development in the world of additive masterbatching has allowed plastics to take on a functional performance role, rather than simply looking nice. Specialty additives are added to a wide range of colored products, which give them special characteristic Plastic can be made to be anti-static. This type of plastic compound reduces electrostatic discharges and thermal management. Compounds can even be custom tailored depending on needs within the surface resistivity spectrum. This plastic can replace metal in certain applications. Foam agents are also a possibility when using  masterbatching . This reduces the weight of traditional plastic by up to 20%. This type of plastic is best used for plastic injection molding. Antimicrobial plastics do not suffer from discoloration, odors, or polymer degradation. Additives can be mixed with plastic resins that will create a biocide treatment. This plastic will be effective against, mildew, mold, and other microbes. Flame retardant plastics are ...
