Company at a glance
RASIRC innovations convert low vapor-pressure liquid chemistries into safe and reliable gas flow for most processes. RASIRC technology delivers hydrazine gas and hydrogen peroxide gas in controlled, repeatable concentrations.
RASIRC products include BRUTE® Peroxide, BRUTE® Hydrazine, the Peroxidizer®, and the RainMaker® Humidification System. These products incorporate proprietary and patented technology that enables them to deliver gas to process with precision.
BRUTE Hydrazine provides a stable, reliable flow of ultra-dry hydrazine gas from a liquid source in a sealed vaporizer.
BRUTE Peroxide generates ultra-dry hydrogen peroxide gas and can be used with or without a carrier gas.
The Peroxidizer is the first commercial vaporizer capable of delivering concentrations greater than 5% H2O2 gas by volume from 30% H2O2 liquid source.
The RainMaker Humidification System (RHS) is the first and only system to generate and deliver precise amounts of ultra pure water vapor purified for both ionic contaminants and dissolved gases.
The company was founded by Jeffrey Spiegelman, former president and founder of Aeronex, Inc., a company that designed and manufactured gas purification systems. RASIRC gas delivery systems and closed loop humidification systems are critical for many applications in semiconductor, pharmaceutical, medical, biological, fuel cell, and power industries.
