Ecobuild To Feature Ancon Thermal Wall Ties Range Ancon Building Products is showcasing its sustainable products at Ecobuild, including its range of low thermal conductivity wall ties. The wall ties form Ancon minimise heat transfer through a masonry cavity wall. Use of these wall ties can reduce insulation thickness and wall footprint. In addition to Ancon's stainless steel wire wall ties, this range includes the BBA-approved TeploTie. The Ancon TeploTie is manufactured from basalt fibres and has a thermal conductivity of 0.7W/mK. Fixings with a conductivity of under 1.0W/mK are excluded from U-value calculations to EN ISO 6946. Ancon's low conductivity range is manufactured in a variety of lengths to suit cavities from 50mm to 300mm. Ancon designs and manufactures high integrity structural fixings and supplies a variety of construction sectors including residential, commercial, infrastructure and sporting stadia.

Harwin Maxi Clip Handles 0.7-1mm Wall Thicknesses Harwin has broadened its range of surface-mount EMI/RFI shield clips with the launch of the Maxi clip, which handles protective cans with wall thicknesses of between 0.7 and 1mm. The use of clips reduces assembly time and simplifies rework. Rather than hand-soldering shielding cans to a PCB as a secondary operation, cans are pressed into clips that have been placed during the main automated surface-mount assembly processing. This saves time, reduces errors and scrap, and enables sensitive components to be inspected and, if necessary, lifted and replaced more easily. Supplied in Tape and Reel packaging, Harwin's EMI/RFI clips are targeted at telecoms, datacoms, data processing and in-car entertainment systems. They are proven to help protect sensitive ICs used in applications such as the Bowman Military radio project and automotive Satnav and DVD players.

Pilkington's Group is committed to continued innovation and investment in improving sustainable performance of its wall and flooring material solutions. Sustainability Research. Pilkington's sustainability experts have conducted considerable research into the sustainability of wall and floor materials and this information has proven to be invaluable to clients that are involved in design and build of low -or zero carbon developments. Pilkington's embodied carbon and energy studies and life cycle analysis covers a number of widely specified wall and flooring materials. These studies show that ceramic and porcelain tiles, natural stone, terrazzo and many other tiling products offer a highly sustainable and environmentally friendly solution. This is further supported by 'A' environmental profile rating for these materials in the UK Green Guide to Specification compiled by BRE (Building Research Organisation), the World's leading research organisation for sustain...
