Technicians – Running the Masterbatch Mechanism Overview All manufacturing industries, including the masterbatch industry, are nearly full-automated. I say ‘nearly’, because the machines don’t operate themselves, and can’t think for themselves about what material has to be put where, and what to do with the material once it has been processed. This is what technicians are for. What Do Technicians Do? According to REPIN Masterbatches, one of the leading masterbatch manufacturers in India , known for their additive masterbatches and colour masterbatches , technicians in the masterbatch industry are skilled professionals who help the plastic engineers, scientists, research groups and manufacturers in designing, manufacturing, and marketing plastic products. Technicians can work in the research and development (R&D) section of the company, or in the manufacturing process. They function at a level between the levels of a plastic engineer or scientist and a product...

What Is That White Powder In My Basement? Overview Well, let me guess. Your basement also has a musty smell hanging around it all the time, feels a bit damp and maybe the walls are discolored too? If you answered yes to any or all of the above questions, let me first tell you that your basement has a water problem. Secondly, that white powder on your basement walls and floor is called ‘lime’.

This process is called efflorescence. As you might have guessed already, long-term efflorescence weakens concrete and makes it more prone to crumbling. If left unchecked, this can lead to structural integrity issues, such as concrete block shifting out of place, or mortar joint rotting to the point of the wall ‘moving’. Why Is This Happening? This is happening because most probably your basement is le...

Why Sealing Basement Foundation Cracks Is Important Overview You stroll into your basement and find its carpet wet. A little scrutiny leads you to note that it is a crack in your basement’s foundation that is allowing water to seep through. What do you do? Waterproofing the whole basement using basement waterproofing products are going to cost you a fortune, and waterproofing contractors in Delhi NCR don’t offer their services cheap either. Fortunately for you, you don’t have to go through the trouble of waterproofing your whole basement. Sealing Basement Cracks There are two ways basement cracks can be sealed. One, a foundation crack injection, and two, exterior excavation and crack repair.
