Diisocyanates are widely used in the manufacture of flexible and rigid foams, fibers, coatings such as paints and varnishes, and elastomers. It is also utilized in the automobile industry, autobody repair, and building insulation materials. A group of low-molecular-weight aromatic and aliphatic compounds, the most common diisocyanates are toluene diisocyanate (TDI), met...

Photoionization detector (PID) measures low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them a vital tool in the decision-making process following a hazardous materials (HAZMAT) incident. In the immediate aftermath of an accident, chemical spill, or other incidents involving hazardous materials, there are many unknown factors. The almost instantaneous response o...

Heating diacetyl above certain temperatures significantly increases airborne concentrations and the potential for exposures above safe workplace limits. HSE Releases Safety Alert for Diacetyl Vapor Health Risks Associated with Diacetyl HSE Releases Safety Alert for Diacetyl Vapor Diacetyl vapors have been linked to Bronchiolitis Obliterans, a rare but incapacitating lun...

As the HVAC system draws in outdoor air to supply the building, particulate matter can easily pollute the air inside. The only way to ensure HVAC systems are ventilated properly throughout the building and ensure worker safety is through air quality monitoring sensors, such as the Next PM. air sensing technology Unlike particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOC...

Many industrial applications, such as combustion plants, have to monitor oxygen levels at work sites to ensure there is no oxygen enrichment or depletion occurring for worker safety, as well as avoiding flammable events.

The device samples gas from the environment once per minute, and within just 60 seconds, an accurate benzene measurement is displayed. It provides an immediate warning alarm system with two operator configurable levels, ensuring your workers are kept safe and protected to the standards required on site. This fixed benzene specific gas monitor has continuous, real-time ...

ION Science offers world-leading technology for the improvement of air quality and protection of worker health with its benzene-specific gas monitor, the Titan. ION Science’s benzene-specific Titan, as the leading continuous benzene gas detector, is fast and accurate with monitoring down to 0.1 ppm, providing the best protection against benzene exposure with minute-to-m...

A confined space is defined as an area with a limited path to enter and exit, and is not designed to be occupied by a human but is big enough for someone to go in if required. Confined space entry usually means only one person can enter and exit, creating a situation where someone on the outside can help monitor the safety of the dynamic and the person inside. Communica...

Benzene is a common carcinogen that is highly toxic and volatile when exposed to air and is most commonly found in the oil and gas industry. It is also a natural constituent of crude oil. When investigated, most benzene emissions were discovered from leaks in valves, tanks, pumps, and other areas that are difficult to detect. Studies estimate millions of people in the Un...

Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) are similar to VOCs as they are a collection of organic compounds that differ in their chemical composition, but display similar behavior when in the atmosphere.

Designed for refineries and petrochemical environments, the robust Titan monitors benzene in real-time, providing the ultimate device for plant and worker safety. Titan incorporates ION Science’s market-leading patented photoionization detection (PID) sensor technology with proven resistance to humidity and contamination with no need to compensate, ensuring optimal perfo...
