HYGROMETERS Elcometer has launched the Elcometer 309 Delta T Hygrometer,
a new addition to its range of climatic condition measuring equipment. Before painting, the coater must meet the coatings' parameters, which are clearly specified on the paint manufacturer's product data sheet. Change in temperature (TLi) and relative humidity (%RH) are two of these parameters. The Elcometer 309 is
has expanded its equipment line intended for solar cell, semiconductor, and microelectronic packaging manufacturers. After finding success with the Excellite FSP, designed for wide-web, reel-to-reel (R2R) flexible substrate plating for manufacturing flexible CIS, CIGS, and TCO coatings associated with thin film solar cells, Precision Process now offers the ExceLLite 1000 BCP intended for use in plating on silicon or glass substrates for discrete parts. Excellite BCP offers a fully automated dry-in/dry-out cassette-to-cassette tool set. Excellite 1000 BCP can be configured for pre-plate deposition of seed or barrier layers, plating of a variety of metals, and post-plate annealing, if required. Excellite 1000 will produce superior yields on thin, fragile substrates, in both inline deposition systems as well as other automation set-ups common to SiCell or glass photovoltaic production systems.

POWDER COATING STRIPPER D-Zolve 1012, available from Solvent Kleene, Inc., strips powder
coatings at room temperature, eliminating the need for heating and the resulting high energy consumption. D-Zolve is designed for quick and safe stripping of difficult-to-remove powder coatings, is non-flammable, non-hazardous, and has no hazardous air pollutant potential. It is biodegradable and does not contain ozone-depleting components. D-Zolve 1012 is compatible with both metals and plastics. It safely removes powder coatings from galvanized steel, aluminum, zinc, copper, brass, magnesium, carbon steel and stainless steel, as well as most plastic and silicone substrates. D-Zolve is

has added three new military shades to its line of Sanodure fade-resistant colors for aluminum. Sanodure Mil 00 Green 34089 is a dye mixture that produces a military olive drab shade often specified as MIL-59534089. Unlike other olive drab dyes, this blend has been specially formulated to consistently hold color over the life of the bath. Sanodure Mil Tan 33446 is a dye mixture that has been specially formulated to produce a military desert "tan" or "sand" shade for desert camouflage. The shade is often specified as MIL595-33446. Rounding out the new offerings, Sanodure Mil Taupe 22070 is a dye mixture that has been specially formulated to produce a military pale taupe shade for desert camouflage. This shade is often specified as MIL595-22070. For more information, or to download technical data sheets for Sanodure military shades, please visit www.ReliantAluminumProducts.com.
designed for use in an immersion tank and does not require any blasting, scrubbing, or scraping. It penetrates several layers of a coating, breaking the bond between the metal or plastic substrate and the coating. At the same time, it reduces the coating to its powder particles.

new line of flexible, non-woven surface conditioning quick-change discs for light grinding, blending, and finishing ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Megabrite surface conditioning quick-change discs are designed for general-purpose light grinding, blending, cleaning, and finishing applications using a portable rightangle grinder. These flexible 2" and 3" discs are suitable for use on stainless steel, aluminum, and sheet metal, and they feature non-woven construction in coarse, medium, and very-fine aluminum oxide grits. Megabrite surface conditioning quick-change discs come with stan-
dard type "R" connectors ("S" optional) and are ideal for manufacturing, quality control, and maintenance applications. They are recommended for removing scale, weld splatter, pits,
scratches, rust, corrosion, and light deburring to leavea smooth, clean finish. For more information, call (800) 225-8182, e-mail bobcwrexcur.com.or visit www.rexcut.com. Circle 411 on reader service card
WIRELESS MEASUREMENT Mahr Federal has pioneered the next generation of portable surface finish measuring instruments with the new MarSurf M 300.
