  • Heraeus Precious Appraisal I 1 Precious Metals Review
    HERAEUS PRECIOUS Ed. 7 APPRAISAL st 1 March 2021 MARKET SPOTLIGHT Record dollar-short positions is now an alert on gold Fiscal and monetary policy in the US and Europe provides support for gold. The Federal Reserve and ECB are both expanding their balance sheets at roughly the same rate, at around $120 billion and €100 billion per month, respectively. With a Democrat-controlled Congress, more fiscal spending is likely in the US which could result in higher inflation (gold positive) as the economy recovers. This could lead to a further fall in the dollar index (DXY), which should also help to propel gold higher. Dollar index Gold price (rhs) DXY vs. gold price $/oz Dollar index trend Gold price trend 200 2,500 2,000 150 1,500 100 1,000 500 50 0 Au DXY Au DXY Au DXY Au DXY 0 -500 1971 1976 1981 1986 1991 1996 2001 2006 2011 2016 2021 Source: SFA (Oxford), Bloomberg Vigilance is needed, though, as speculative traders are overly short the dollar. The concern is that when positioning is this one-sided, the trend is usually near its end and a reversal is not far off. Financial conditions in the US are extremely loose and are unsustainable, despite Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell reiterating that the Fed will remain very accommodative for now. At this stage, easy fiscal and monetary conditions are priced in to gold. On this basis, any rumoured shift to tighter conditions in the US could strengthen the dollar, which is negative for gold.

  • Carbon Emitters Dry Textile Print on T-Shirts
    Carbon emitters dry textile print on t-shirts Carbon infrared emitters optimize the drying of prints on T-shirts and other textiles in dryers by Calmatech BV, The Netherlands. Compared to the previously used halogen emitters, they use energy much more efficiently and only need half the time. Calmatech BV is a worldwide known manufacturer of flash cure dryers and tunnel dryers for textiles. The dryers can be used on different carousels as well as on mobile stands. The heart of the dryers are medium wave carbon infrared emitters from Heraeus, which replaced conventional halogen emitters. The carbon emitters are so cleverly arranged in the dryer that a very even heat distribution on the textile surface is achieved. The medium wavelength is optimally suited for drying on the surface. In contrast, the short-wave halogen emitters used previously emitted much energy through the paint and the textile. For example, drying every screen ink with the halogen emitters took seven to eight seconds, while carbon emitters now only need two to three seconds. In addition, the system is no longer unnecessarily heated with. Carbon infrared emitters respond in seconds and are therefore suitable for pulsing; they only have to be switched on when they are needed. In contrast, the halogen emitters had to be kept constantly on standby and thus consumed power permanently. Jurgen van Oostrum, Managing Director at Calmatech BV, is convinced: "The switch to carbon infrared emitters has made our textile flash cure much more efficient. Our customers particularly appreciate the power savings due to the low drying times and the textile-friendly heating.

  • Getting Most Value from Your Petrochemical Catalysts
    Getting most value from your Petrochemical Catalysts Steffen Kitzing, Thomas Trin, Dr. Viren Pathare Precious Metal (PM) catalysts are an integral part of Downstream Processing and Petrochemical Manufacturing. The Petrochemical Industry uses PM catalysts, mostly Platinum on alumina, to produce high octane components of gasoline from naphtha and to produce many critical organic chemicals such as cyclohexane for polymer fabrics. It is estimated that over 642 refineries worldwide process 87 million bpd of crude oil1 using 41 Thousand MT of PM catalysts2. On an average, these catalysts contain 0.25% Platinum; so a total of 102.5 MT of Platinum is deployed in the industry. At today’s prices, it represents an investment of $3.13 billion! Needless to say, significant value optimization can be achieved by judicious management of these assets. Over time, all catalysts lose their functional ability due to deposits of carbon, sulfur and metals. Or they may suffer from pore closures and lose effective surface area. Although they can be regenerated a few times, eventually they must be retired as ‘spent’ catalysts and replaced with fresh catalyst in a catalyst ‘change-out’ event. In general this replacement period is 5 to 7 years; although for some special catalysts it can be as short as 2 years. The Petrochemical Industry is really advanced when it comes to efficient use and recycling of metals used in these catalysts, especially the precious metals such as Platinum, Palladium and the special metal Rhenium. The Industry collaborates with companies like Heraeus Metal Management to efficiently recover more than 95% of the precious metals3.

  • Competitive Impact Statement: U.S. V. Heraeus Electro-Nite Co., LLC
    Case 1:14-cv-00005 Document 3 Filed 01/02/14 Page 1 of 21 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. HERAEUS ELECTRO-NITE CO., LLC, Defendant. COMPETITIVE IMPACT STATEMENT Plaintiff United States of America (“United States”), pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act (“APPA” or “Tunney Act”), 15 U.S.C. § 16(b)-(h), files this Competitive Impact Statement relating to the proposed Final Judgment submitted for entry in this civil antitrust proceeding. I. NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THE PROCEEDING On September 7, 2012, defendant Heraeus Electro-Nite Co., LLC (“Heraeus”) acquired substantially all of the assets of Midwest Instrument Company, Inc. (“Minco”). After investigating the competitive impact of that acquisition, the United States filed a civil antitrust Complaint on January 2, 2014, seeking an order compelling Heraeus to divest certain assets and other relief to restore competition. The Complaint alleges that the acquisition substantially lessened competition in the U.S. market for the development, production, sale and service of single-use sensors and instruments used to measure and monitor the temperature and chemical composition of molten steel (“S&I”), in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § Case 1:14-cv-00005 Document 3 Filed 01/02/14 Page 2 of 21 18. As a result of the acquisition, prices for these products did or would have increased, delivery times would have lengthened, and terms of service would have become less favorable. Concurrent with the filing of this Competitive Impact Statement, the United States and Heraeus have filed an Asset Preservation Stipulation and Order and a proposed Final Judgment.

  • Press Release Heraeus Porocarb® Enables Lithium-Ion Battery
    Press Release Heraeus Porocarb® enables Lithium-Ion battery manufacturer to increase C-rate performance and reduce formation time by 40% Latest customer implementation confirms battery additive’s ability to deliver real-world results in improved battery performance. KLEINOSTHEIM, Germany- June 19, 2018- Heraeus Battery Technology today announced that Porocarb®, its innovative line of functional carbon additives, has been successfully implemented in a customer’s lithium-ion battery production in Taiwan. This marks the company’s first implementation in a full manufacturing environment and represents a major step forward in the additive’s global commercial rollout. The implementation project with LiS, a Taiwan-based lithium-ion battery developer, began in mid-2017. Heraeus worked with LiS production experts to develop a special formulation of Porocarb to the specific technical manufacturing requirements of one of its customers in central Chaina. Porocarb (a non-agglomerated, highly-porous carbon with fully interconnected macroporosity) and carbon nano tubes were then implemented as a pre-formulated carbon system. The non-agglomerated Porocarb particles are designed to maintain their open porosity, even under high packaging densities, allowing for easy electrolyte access. This open porosity significantly improves the ionic conductivity, reduces diffusion limitations, and increases power densities and charge/discharge acceptance. Once implemented into the customer’s production process, the synergetic effect between Porocarb and carbon nano
