Kanthal AB will focus on new product developments at Heat Treat 2003. Particularly featured will be Kanthal Globar(R) SD, a new high-performance, silicon carbide heating element; four new products in the Kanthal Super range of elements; and Ecothol(R), a gas treatment system for reducing nitrous oxide emissions. Globar SD is a new grade of silicon carbide heating element that has been designed for maximum performance in the widest range of high-temperature applications. It combines all the best features of the existing Kanthal Hot Rod, Silit ED and Globar LL products to offer high mechanical strength, a lower rate of reaction with the process atmosphere and longer life potential.
