Fact of the week
The first practical visible-spectrum LEDs were red, not white. The red colour was the easiest to produce using the semiconductor materials available at the time (the 1960s). The alloy gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) used emitted red light.

Industrial processes in paper and waste processing involves strapped bale handling and de-wiring. Durwen provides the smart solution for the industry, with its fully Durwen designed and made de-wiring bale clamp. Expensive factory part equipment was needed yesterday - use the smart solution from Durwen in future!
