General news
UK e x p o r t award winner AES Engineering has become one of this year's Queen's Award for Export achievement winners. This year's Queen's award is AES's third. After losing the right to distribute an American-made product, AES took over a small Derby engineering company and successfully patented a new type of seal which compensates for angular misaligm'aent in pumps. North America which once supplied products for AES to distribute is now the biggest export market for the Yorkshire firm's mechanical seals. The company supplies a network of over 100 distributors worldwide and has more than doubled its exports in three years. AES seals are working all over Europe, Scandinavia, South Africa, Australasia and Peru. For the future, AES expects the oil industry to be one of its biggest customers. A significant use for mechanical seals is on ships. In a tanker fleet the most important pumps are the cargo pumps used for unloading crude oil. AES Engineering is currently associated with Mobil Shipping which is the first major tanker operator to fit double mechanical seals on cargo pumps. This decision resulted from Mobil's concern for the environment. The total seal business on a typical tanker fleet is estimated at one and a half million pounds every three years.

Trade fair for surface and b o n d i n g technology Lively interest is being shown by supply-side companies in Bondtec, the Trade Fair for Surface and Bonding Technology to be held at Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre from 20 to 22 June 1995. The following product groups are planned at Bondtec: • bonding, sealing, casting, laminating, coating • raw materials and additives • material treatment (mechanical, thermal, physical, chemical) • Adhesive applicators, robot technology, handling • hardening processes and equipment (ultraviolet, infrared, electron-ray hardening) • testing technology and quality assurance • surface modification techniques, plasma treatment
Sealing Technology No. 17
• recycling, ecology, safety at work Potential exhibitors are manufacturers, processors, users, dealers and trade associations. According to the lndustrleverband der Klebstoffe e.V. (Industrial Adhesives Association), sealants and adhesives are an important branch of the chemical industry with a production volume in excess of 1.8 thousand million deutschmarks (1993). In Europe, Germany is the largest producer with 483 000 tonnes (22%), followed by Italy with 1896, ahead of France and Great Britain, each with 14%. The remaining 32% is divided among the other EU countries and Switzerland.
