Lightweighting is a critical part of the mandate for aeronautic engineers, who constantly tread a careful line between cost, efficiency, and performance. The price of getting it wrong can be catastrophic. That is why careful attention is paid to each and every component to ensure the comfort and safety of passengers and crew throughout the [...]

Before discussing aluminum protection, it is important to offer an explanation of what is meant by ‘primary’  in the production, treatment, and application of the metal. The term ‘primary aluminum’ refers to the forging of the metal from raw alumina. Then, utilizing the Hall–Héroult electrolytic reduction process, the collaborative compound is smelted to create aluminum [...]

Mid-Mountain’s latest offering of flame-resistant fabrics for pallet covers was created as a direct response to the very real risk of sudden fires which have been known to break out in the transportation of dangerous goods. Unfortunately, freight fires are more common than you may think, and, as such, we have worked tirelessly to manufacture [...]

Global trade is built on our ability to safely supply commodities all over the world. This depends upon secure transport between different regions, to ensure that goods from one market can be readily supplied to consumers from another. Protecting products during transit is vital to this success. Cargo fire containment systems are widely used as [...]

Commercial- and industrial grade thermal insulation covers a wide range of materials and product formats. Most insulation types are primarily designed to inhibit costly or potentially damaging heat transfer within mechanical systems. Yet the plethora of design options available enables developers and process engineers to finely tailor their thermal insulation products to suit specific end-use [...]

Thermal insulation refers to the many ways we attempt to inhibit the transfer of heat from one object to another. These two objects may be the hot and cold faces of processing equipment in industrial facilities or the interior and exterior of external walls in domestic properties. The contexts in which thermal insulation may be [...]

Silicone rubbers are highly stable elastomers that are broadly used in industrial engineering and sealing applications. They are a viscoelastic class of synthetic polymers composed of silicone with added organic functional groups. Also known as polysiloxane, silicones comprise an alternating molecular chain of silicon (Si) and oxygen (O). They are inherently lubricating and chemically inert. [...]

Techtextil North America is an internationally renowned exhibition for high-performance industrial textile manufacturers around the globe. No other show in the U.S. provides the same level of insight and scope when it comes to the field of technical textiles and nonwoven materials for industrial areas of application. Mid-Mountain Materials, Inc. is proud to exhibit at [...]

The term “industrial fabrics” covers a broad range of products comprised of high-performance raw textiles with a choice of end-use formats. This versatility enables one underlying material to service many different industries. For example, fiberglass and silica can be modified to satisfy the requirements of applications in practically every market, from domestic to industrial insulation. [...]

Welded storage and process tanks are abundant in virtually every walk of modern life. Domestically, they are used in central heating systems to provide heat and hot water to our homes. Commercial storage tanks are used to house a limitless range of raw materials and feedstocks, from grain to hydrocarbons. While industrial tanks are used [...]
