The Triangle Fluid Controls Bantam Jr. Bulls entered the 6th annual Prince Edward County Minor Hockey Association, Milk Tournament, October 23rd – 25th with a .500 record on the regular season to date.
The TFC Jr. Bulls first game featured a matchup with the host, Prince Edward County Kings, on Friday, October 23rd. The TFC Jr. Bulls came out flying and put up a dominating performance winning 8-0. The second match of the tournament for the TFC Jr. Bulls saw them facing the well-rested Mount Brydges Cougars on Saturday, October 24th. In a tight match from start to finish, the TFC Jr. Bulls were downed 3-1. Twelve hours later in their third and final match of the round robin portion of the tournament the TFC Jr. Bulls faced Valley Storm needing at least a tie game to advance to the finals on Sunday. In a dramatic finish, the TFC Jr. Bulls scored with under 5 seconds left in regulation to seal the victory in a 7-6 barn burner.
Finally, on Sunday the TFC Jr. Bulls were up against the Mount Brydges Cougars who had beat them a little more than 24 hours earlier in what was expected to be a tight game. The TFC Jr. Bulls jumped out to a 2-0 lead only to have Mount Brydges come back with two of their own to tie it at 2-2. The Jr. Bulls went up 3-2 and never looked back. They put the game out of reach with an empty net goal late in the third period to seal the victory and the championship 4-2.

Triangle Fluid Controls Ltd.® Set to Release New Blog Covering Hot Industry Topics.
Triangle Fluid Controls Ltd. ®, the global Durlon® sealing solutions company, is set to launch their new blog September 2015 in order to provide a valuable resource for engineers, end-users and channel partners who may not have the specialized knowledge of a fluid sealing applications engineer.
“Providing excellent customer service for gasket users is tricky because we serve such a wide range of industries and end-users. We feel everyone should be able to find a reliable and accessible information source for their needs,” says Mike Shorts, Vice President and General Manager of Triangle Fluid Controls Ltd. ® “Not only will we be able to educate users on industry changes and standards, but by providing this resource we will be able to answer the questions we see as ‘hot topics’ on our customers’ and users’ minds. Some of these ‘hot topics’ just aren’t being addressed by others in the market, and that’s where we are prepared to step in.”
Some of the topics TFC plans on tackling are emissions, maintenance, leakage, safety, product lifecycles, and system failures in both gaskets and check valves. The new resource will be updated monthly by a team of contributors with extensive backgrounds in gasket and check valve application in order to help users determine their individual needs.
TFC is currently in the final stages of this new project after a very successful release of their new website late last year. Triangle Fluid Controls Ltd. ® has seen a flurry of web traffic and has noticed a need for this type of specialized technical information. Visit https://trianglefluid.com/category/gasket_blog/ for more details.

TFC is excited to offer the SecureTrack™ technical support, training and customer service to our Canadian end-users.
Maureen Boyle, Rail Equipment Coordinator at Sunoco Inc. had this to say about the SecureTrack™ Program:
“Sunoco has over 3,000 tank cars in our fleet carrying various hazardous commodities. We were pleased to learn through testing by our laboratory that [the] Durlon® 9000 material is acceptable for use in all commodities we ship. Simplifying to one gasket material has helped Sunoco with compatibility, performance and standardization. We have confidence in the suitability and traceability of the branded Durlon® 9000 gasket material and have received excellent technical support, training and customer service.”

Sealing Devices in the
Environmental Goods Agreement
On April 9th, FSA President Mike Shorts met with senior trade officials from the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs to discuss the sealing device market in Canada, and the positive and important role that these devices play in environmental protection efforts.
Unlike the USA and Europe, Canada has not fully supported the inclusion of sealing devices in the Environmental Goods Agreement which reduces or removes trade tariffs on environmental goods. Mr. Shorts traveled to Ottawa to educate the Foreign Affairs officials on the necessity of sealing devices so that they may be added to the program. The elimination or reduction of trade tariffs on sealing devices would allow access to better existing technologies at cost competitive prices and provide process industries with products that will exceed existing global emissions regulations.
“Reducing tariffs is a great step towards establishing market access to Canadian sealing device manufacturers and other FSA member companies,” he says.
“The sealing device manufacturing industry in Canada is relatively small compared to the USA, Europe and China but it has a long established history here and continues to be competitive in the global marketplace. Our company, Triangle Fluid Controls Ltd., through affiliated companies in its history, has been in the Canadian sealing products arena since 1922.”
