Happy Thanksgiving from SilcoTek®!

When you sit down to your meal on turkey day remember that inert coatings from SilcoTek® are helping to keep you safe.

Sipping a drink during the game?

Having that carbonated soft drink during the game is safer because inert SilcoTek coatings like SilcoNert® are used to detect sulfurs that can be found in the carbon dioxide (CO2) used to carbonate that soda.  Excessive levels of sulfur in CO2 can not only make the drink taste bad, it can make you sick.  SilcoNert® 2000 is used throughout the carbonated beverage industry to detect part per million and even low part per billion levels of sulfur.

SilcoNert® 2000 eliminates adsorption of sulfur on stainless steel, glass, and other sampling surfaces.  Allowing all the sample to be tested.  This assures that soda tastes great and you don't spend Thanksgiving in the hospital!

Have a beer or glass of wine at dinner?  SilcoTek is helping brewers and wineries detect and control naturally occurring sulfurs by making sample systems inert to active compounds.  So skunky beer or harsh tasting wine won't tarnish the celebration!

Ready for the bird?

You may expect to feel sleepy after eating that fabulous turkey dinner, but you certainly don't expect to be poisoned by dioxin and dioxin like compounds.  Dioxins from industrial pollution are prevalent in the environment.  The largest source of human dioxin exposure comes through dietary intake of animal sourced food.  Dioxins work their way up the food chain through animal feed.  Animals and animal feed are tested to assure dioxin does not ruin your turkey day.

In order to be sure low levels of dioxin are tested accurately, instrument manufacturers and laboratories turn to SilcoTek® coatings to prevent dioxin from sticking on analytical instrument components; assuring your bird is tasty and safe!

 

Have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
