INSCX collaboration to list Pangang Titanium TiO2 grades for EU/USA delivery

INSCX exchange has agreed to act as a distribution point for China’s leading Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) producer, Pangang Titanium for deliveries to approved end user customers. The agreement which will see the Exchange add Pangang grades for trade is to commence May 2018. INSCX commenced formal listing of Chinese producer TiO2 grades in 2011, offering a delivered, duty paid service to end users. With the addition of Pangang, the Exchange can offer customers the full spectrum of Chinese producer TiO2 grades. End users seeking to purchase Pangang Grades for EU/USA delivery can register their interest by contacting the Exchange via mail @ Registrar@inscx.com or on  44 203 137 5187 during UK business hours.

Upgraded Polymer trading platform scheduled May-June, 2018

INSCX exchange will unveil its upgraded TORS (Trade Order Routing System) specific to physical trade in polymers, base oils and TiO2 by May-June, 2018. The upgraded system will further enhance the existing trade portal which enables real-time price discovery, and permits Spot and forward trade types and will prove relevant to the polymer market in particular. Commenting on the upgraded version of TORS, an Exchange spokesperson added:

“The upgraded platform will be more user friendly and offer the Polymer sector their first truly auditable, real-time price discovery mechanism and the ability to trade real-time on a Spot or Forward basis. Additional features on the platform will include technical analysis, a producer reporting mechanism and the ability to trade on margin. Going forward this will provide the physical polymer industry with a more credible pricing mechanism and greater trade flexibility including practical hedging tools. Going forward, TORS will offer cost benefit to the physical polymer industry, but also permit INSCX to engage with other Exchanges who have sought physical industry benchmarks to develop more liquidity and open interest in more relevant polymer futures contracts within a defined timeframe.”

The upgraded version of the TORS platform is estimated to go live May/June 2018.

Controlling Health Hazards When Working with Nanomaterials

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is pleased to present Controlling Health Hazards When Working with Nanomaterials: Questions to Ask Before You Start. This poster is a visual tool designed to guide those who work with nanomaterials on how to prevent exposures. The poster poses questions that the reader should ask themselves before starting work with a nanomaterial. Readers can then move through the poster to see which different control and personal protective equipment options are appropriate based on the physical form of the nanomaterial. The poster can be displayed in a lab or work environment, making it an easily accessible reminder of the important health and safety considerations for working with nanomaterials.

Online Traceability of Nanomaterials

Since live launch in 2011, INSCX™ exchange has operated a dedicated trade reporting mechanic to record actual trade in engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), objects and devices referred to as Downstream Audit Sequencing (DAS) for the purposes of enabling traceability.  The tool is to now be made available online free to exchange members and non-members alike. DAS can be used to report supply of nanomaterials quickly and easily in a manner which advances the requirement of regulation agencies for disclosure, safeguards business confidences while enabling means for supply-chain tracking of any nanomaterial from source.

Access to trade information collected via the DAS mechanic is offered exclusively and securely to official regulation agencies, approved insurers and the Institute of Occupational Medicine who formally collaborate with the Exchange.

The objective of DAS is to enable transparency and traceability in the trade of nanomaterials for the purposes of aiding a regulatory structure than can command broad societal and industry support, advance insurability and the goal of industry-relevant toxicology assessment of nanomaterials, while safeguarding the rights of producers and downstream users to commercial confidentiality.

To receive a registration pack and/or to learn more nanoproducers, converters, and downstream users are invited to complete the enquiry form accessible via the DAS Report link on the exchange website.

Anti-corrosion opportunity using nanoscale Grapehene

Producers of nanoscale Graphene are invited to contact the Exchange concerning an opportunity to collaborate with an industrial partner to explore use of nanoscale graphene to enhance anti-corrosion of metals. Registered Nanoproducers seeking additional information concerning this opportunity are advised to contact the Exchange via mail at:
