Trial Offers SUPPLEMENT to ien FINISHING WORLD IEN / DECEMBER '16 21 www.ien.com products Sample Submission Process for Plating, Pretreatment Asterion (Indianapolis, IN) has launched a new sample analysis submission process for the company's propri- etary plating and pretreatment chemistries. The submis- sion process meets growing customer requirements to optimize plating line effi ciency and productivity at a low cost of ownership. The process includes: • Customers submit up to ten sample requests per submission. • Every sample is assigned an identifi er number for testing. • Free sample submission kits include all required packing materials and shipping documentation that are specifi cally designed to meet regulatory requirements. • Expedited sample analysis response time. • Testing includes chemical composition and trace analysis to determine composition, impurities and overall chemical quality for a diversity of applications. • A lab that houses instrumentation to quickly identify and resolve contamination is- sues, determine sample make-up and provide metal substrate testing and analysis. www.asterionstc.com; 800-428-0719 Wood Coatings Designed to Reduce Labor Costs for OEMs Specially formulated wood coatings from Chemline (St. Louis, MO) offer OEMs higher production levels and lower labor costs because they are fast cure. According to the company, products can be handled in a matter of minutes instead of several hours – and require minimal staging/cur- ing area, which saves costly fl oor space typically required for product production. Additionally, Chemline wood coatings provide a superior protective barrier for wood, making it abrasion, impact, moisture and UV-resistant – even in the harshest environ- ments, such as temperatures below -20° F. Unique in the industry, applied Chemline polyurea coatings resemble tra- ditional vinyl or ABS plastic with a textured-style appear- ance that forms a slip-resistant and waterproof barrier for wooden surfaces. Chemline polyurea and polyurethane coatings are used to protect wood surfaces in industries such as commercial table edging, shipping crates and containers, boat hulls and decks, hard wood speaker cabinets and delicate musical instru- ment carrying cases, as well as balconies, deck and walkway surfaces. Chemline wood coatings are ideal for virtually any wood surface – from hard woods to plywood to particle board – without the need for a primer in most cases (except for the softest woods). www.chemline.net; 314-664-2230 PTFE Paste Withstands Pressures, Temps Fluoramics, Inc. (Winona, MN) introduces LOX-8 Paste, now being used in water treatment plants as a proactive mea- sure to ensure lasting seals in pipes and threaded joints. The halocarbon-based Polytetrafl uorethyene (PTFE) paste is able to withstand both extreme temperatures and high pressures, providing superior performance as a thread sealant where safety, aggressive chemical resistance and extended service life is required. LOX-8, already widely used throughout industries including medical, cryogenic, nuclear and other high-tech fi elds, has been found to provide water treatment facilities with a reliable, long lasting seal for each threaded connection. Other features include: • Oxygen-compatibility and imperviousness to hypochlorite and chlorine used in water treatment. • A specifi c formulation for wet conditions and does not harden, so that it will retain its resiliency and eliminate the risk of cold fl ow. • No need for expensive emergency repairs that coincide with fi nding and fi xing a pre- ventable leak, extending the life of a facility, lowering operational costs and reducing potential water damage, contamination and waste. www.fl uoramics.com; 800-922-0075 (Winona, MN) introduces LOX-8 Paste, now sealant where safety, aggressive chemical resistance and extended service life is required.

Results of the metal being scanned are displayed on a tilting screen that can be viewed in varying light levels. • QuickID software for customizing results. • Analysis of any alloy in under three seconds, including beryllium coppers. • Rechargeable Li-ion battery. • Certifi ed to MIL-STD-810G and IP-54 standards. www.rigakukatana.com; 855-785-1064 Spray Low-Viscosity Materials The PILOT Twin from Walther Pilot (Chesterfi eld, MI) was devel- oped for spraying low-viscosity materials such as mold release and separating agents. It features a light, robust build and a three fi nger trigger for maximum comfort during extended runs, and has a generous selection of nozzle sizes that range from 0.2mm to 1.5mm. Other features include: • A choice of three different spraying angles (30º, 60º and straight ahead). There is no need to change the nozzle insert or air cap to switch between spraying angles. You need only change the air distribution ring, which is included with the spray gun. The ring can be changed in seconds without tools. • Shipped ready-to-use and includes a 15-foot twin hose and a 2-liter aluminum pressure tank. This makes for the perfect compact, mobile manual mold release spray system. • A cost effective system, with components that can also be supplied individually. www.waltherpilotna.com; 586-598-0347
