Find that datasheet

Anonymous, Germany
"I have been searching for a particular datasheet for Block Insulation: TR 19 which I believe is a Thermal Ceramics American product but I cannot find this document in the Europe section…? Do I have to change my region?"

Beware of Imitations!

Customer – UK
“I must say I found your recent article on “beware of imitations” extremely interesting, I didn’t realise there was a solubility test kit…? We have questioned when we receive products (out of their packaging) whether the product is carcinogenic?"

"
Thank you for your comments, our solubility test kit does determine whether the fibre is bio soluble or ceramic fibre. See the link in our website for full information and how to place an order, link: Home / Knowledge Centre / Solubility Testing Kit"

Interesting Stuff – are we right?

We recently had the following feedback from Matt in the UK after he read the “Interesting Stuff” section of our website.

Hey, I found it hard to believe your interesting fact on Golf standing for “Gentlemen Only…Ladies Forbidden” so I looked around. Found this on interestingfacts.org;

 “It is the internet myth that the name of the popular Scottish game Golf stands for "Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden." The word golf originates form medieval Scottish and Dutch dialects. Back in a day before the creation of dictionaries, there was no standardized spelling of any given word. So it is believed that word golf originates from Dutch word "kolf" or "kolve" which meant "club." Later on old Scots dialect transformed the word into "gouf" or "golve ."

And also wikipedia backs most of this up.

Thanks for this Matt, we are also now aware that it’s no longer illegal to chew gum in Singapore… so these interesting stuff statements are changing all the time…

I will be looking to update the site with new interesting facts so keep an eye out

We appreciate your feedback
