Guyson Corp. of U.S.A., Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
denser coils, as well as enclosures, stampings, and metal parts of all sizes including tiny screw machine parts. Energy used with the vapor degreasers is often 10% or less than aqueous systems and provides better cleaning and no drying problems. The + GF + PPRO-Seal Piping system features an innovative new plug connection and insulated leads to provide faster, cleaner field installation with strong fusion joints. Constructed of natural polypropylene, the system is ideally suited for water treatment, chemical processing, and other applications where high purity and corrosion resistance is required. The system can handle corrosive fluids up to 180°F and offers excellent impact strength at ambient temperatures, retaining much of its impact resistance at low temperatures.

Heatbath Corp., Springfield, Mass.
Colzinc ACF-II produces a brilliant, bright deposit from alkaline cyanide-free plating solutions. Deposits have exceptional ductility, even at thicknesses of 1.25 mil. Concentrated, multiple polyamine blend operates over a wide zinc range: 5.5 to 24.4 g/L. The process is extremely tolerant of trace contaminants from maintenance additions and preplate drag-in, and is ideal for low current density barrel plating and a wide range of current densities for rack plating.
