Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

As you can see below, we had loads of treats today at Eclipse. Everyone pitched in and brought food for lunch to celebrate the holiday week. Sloppy Joe’s, spaghetti salad, ghost brownies and yes, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you, that is actually a “road kill” cake.

In addition to our monthly lunch meetings to discuss business, we absolutely love to have several pitch in lunches every year. My personal favorites tend to be when we pull out the grill and spend some time outside. Sometimes it’s the simple things at a company that mean the most and it’s no exception for these lunches. These days are fun little celebrations that bring a smile and laughter to everyone to give us a break from the norm and really bring us all together to have fun!

From everyone at Eclipse, be safe this week and don’t forget to treat yourself and your coworkers to some excitement and laughs!

Fillers That Improve PTFE’s Performance
By Doug 30 Jun, 2022
PTFE was discovered in the 1930s as an accidental byproduct of chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant production. It’s a synthetic compound consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine — a fluorocarbon. Its many unique properties make it highly attractive as a seal material. It possesses one of the lowest friction coefficients of any known material, is nearly 100% chemically […]
Cantilever V-Spring
By Doug 19 Apr, 2022
Shortly after the discovery and use of PTFE as a seal material, the need for a secondary energizing method became apparent.  Unlike rubber or urethane which possess elastic and spring-like properties, PTFE will not return to its original state once deformed. This is obviously not a desirable trait for sealing material, especially in dynamic sealing […]
