Announcement Concerning Honeywell Product Codes

Dear Customer,

Last December, Honeywell acquired a part of the Seelze, Germany-based laboratory research chemicals business from Sigma-Aldrich. Many of the acquired products had suffixes including -H, -R, -F, -A, -D, and VOLPAC attached to the product number. These suffixes were used for various internal administrative purposes and, in the case of VOLPAC, to indicate specialised packaging.  

This may affect the following brands: Fluka®, Hydranal® and Chromasolv®

Charity Climb up Mount Kilimanjaro

After 6 years of talking about it, 2 years of planning, saving, training and periodic panics over making sure everything was right, Key Accounts Co-ordinator Kimberley Dale has started her trek of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for the British Heart Foundation in memory of her uncle who died of an undiagnosed heart condition.

The trek will take roughly five days to the summit, hopefully arriving in time to see the sun rise and another 2 back down covering roughly 37 miles from gate to gate.

Everyone here at SLS is rooting for you Kimberley. Best of luck!
