MARKETWATCH Product spotlights 22 NIOCOM-Pumps are made of glass fibre reinforced vinylester resin (GRV), which are ideal for seawater as they are resistant to corrosion and therefore do not release particles or substances into the environment. NIOCOM-Pumps offer an alternative to metallic pump for all corrosive and seawater applications and offer a balance between chemical resistance, mechanical strength, lightweight and good quality-price ratio. As the pumps are lightweight, they save energy costs and consequently reduce carbon dioxide emissions. They are available in three types and settable in many different configurations, allowing them to be tailored to suit and fit any system. NIOCOM-Pumps Antti Marine produces a range of doors for marine vessels. These doors can often be heavy due to fire safety standards, sound reduction and durability requirements. However, the company has now successfully reduced their weight. “We have introduced new technical solutions with insulation materials,” said Markko Takkinen, commercial director of Antti Marine. “The thickness of the insulation material in these next generation doors has been further developed, and the steel thickness has been optimised. Additionally, we have made advancements in processing efficiency by implementing changes to the door structure and the entire design system. These innovations have resulted in up to 15 per cent weight savings in Antti B-class fire doors.” Antti Marine doors Floor adhesives F. Ball’s range of marine flooring adhesives and preparation products is Marine Equipment Directive certified and tested in accordance with International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards. It carries both the IMO wheelmark and UK Red Ensign conformity mark, which guarantees the appearance and safety of installations throughout the lifetime of floor coverings. The marine range has been specially designed for flooring that will be subject to conditions typically found in marine and offshore environments, such as surface water and extreme temperatures. Solar Glass Solar Glass by Brombach + Gess is a sustainable energy solution for cruise ships and ferries. The photovoltaic glass generates energy through a thin and translucent solar film. The technique ensures complete freedom of design, enabling it to be tailored for use for windows, roofs, balconies, railings and other applications. Solar glazing generates up to 26 watts of electricity per square metre. Solar Glass will be exhibited by Brombach+Gess at Cruise Ship Interiors Design Expo Americas in Miami, Florida, in June, and Cruise Ship Interiors Europe in Hamburg, Germany in December.
