over traditional PTFE composites including a faster plating rate, greater bath efficiency and utility, and broader applications. Because these new hightemperature lubricants allow for more metal turnovers, companies can now maximize the use of their plating baths and reduce costs. The deposits’ ability to withstand greater direct loading increases their potential range of applications over traditional PTFE composite coatings. Circle 412 on the reader service card

Coating Thickness and Composition Measurement Veeco instruments Plainview, N. Y

method for measuring metal-finishing applications such as Cr/Ni/Fe, Cr/Ni/ Cu/Fe, Zn-Ni/Fe, Ti-Ni/Fe, and all mechanical and precious metal coatings. The system is driven by a full Microsoft Windows application, Xpert for Windows. The new 5300H chamber offers the largest sample positioning available, tube target selection (tungsten or high-performance molybdenum), stepper or closed-loop servo stage positioning, and single or dual monitor set-ups. One or two fully automatic, built-in motorized programmable detector filters are available along with laser-assisted focusing.

Safety Signs are available in two sizes-7 in. X 10 in. and 10 in. X 14 in., and in three different styles-aluminum, plastic, and self-adhesive vinyl.
