Rock,
What do you think of the latest news?
Why would they be paying 1.5% per month?
Seems high but, may just be a stop gap considering they may have been suprised by the private placement falling through.
Hi Rocklicker,
Wow, I cant bolivia it!
I had PCY on my watch list and didn not expect anything to happen until 2017 when they start to build the coal power plant.
What do you think of the Blovia Mine(s) purchase?
Also you must know more than anyone else around can you give me the "coals" notes rundown on Prophecy Coal Corp. (sorry bad pun) or update the main page.
Thanks so much and good luck.
Technical paper describing benefits of composite flooring utilizing polyurethane wins award at Composites 2013 Award demonstrates Bayer’s innovative leadership role in the polyurethanes industry
February 20, 2013 Pittsburgh,
Utilizing composites for shipping container floors offers several advantages, including reduced energy use and a smaller carbon footprint compared to containers with conventional wood floors. These advantages are not only gaining recognition in the shipping industry but in the materials industry, as well. The technical paper "Life Cycle Assessment of Composite Shipping Container Floors Compared to Conventional Wood Flooring" won the Best in Track Award for Green Composites at the recent Composites 2013 conference, hosted annually by the American Composites Manufacturers' Association. The paper highlighted results of a recent study comparing environmental impacts of interest and relevance to the logistics community, such as: energy and greenhouse gases associated with the entire life cycles of flooring made with fiberglass/polyurethane composites, plywood and bamboo wood. The study found that although composite floors may require more energy or generate more greenhouse gases during manufacturing than wood floors, during the use phase the composite floor saves more energy and avoids greenhouse gases due to its lighter weight. The paper was authored by George Pavlovich and Shen Tian, Product Safety & Regulatory Affairs; and Harry George, manager, New Applications, Polyurethanes; all of Bayer MaterialScience LLC.
Sticking it to vehicle weight: Bayer's materials contribute to enhanced styling, reduced vehicle weight
Pittsburgh, November 15, 2012 — Plastics and adhesives are playing an increasing role in helping automakers reduce weight and enhance vehicle aesthetics inside and out.
Bayer's diverse portfolio of lightweight materials and technologies can be used in numerous automotive applications, including composite underbodies, roof modules, load floors, exterior body panels, window glazing, headliners and interior components to help automakers reduce vehicle weight while retaining style and safety. Lightweight, multi-material vehicles require bonding technologies to handle the diverse material mix, and two-component polyurethane adhesives are well-suited for this task.
Bruce Benda, vice president, Automotive and Transportation, Bayer MaterialScience LLC, shared his insights about the trends for lightweight materials and bonding technologies in his presentation "Material Considerations and Making Them Stick in Lightweighting Technologies," during the 2nd annual Plastics in Lightweight Vehicles conference. During the conference, Benda also participated in an automotive panel discussion.
