VOC-FREE CLEANER A new VOC-free formulation of DZolve 917 from Solvent Kleene provides safe removal of organic paints, varnish, Mil-spec CARC paints, cured powder coatings, multi-layer coatings and E-coatings. Designed for energy efficient use at low temperatures, D-Zolve 917 is used in an immersion tank. Environmentally friendly D-Zolve 917 is non-flammable, has very low odor toxicity, and does not contain any ozone-depleting components or carcinogenic compounds. D-Zolve 917 penetrates paints and coatings to break the bond between the paint layer and the substrate. Severing this bond causes a paint or coating to delaminate and falloff the substrate and drop to the bottom of the tank. D-Zolve completely removes even the most difficult-tostrip paints and coatings, eliminating the need for processes such as sand blasting and burn off. 42 I metalfinishing I April/May 2011
D-Zolve is ideal for reworking high-value parts with paint or coating defects. It will not damage intricate surface details or polished surfaces. D-Zolve 917 has an NSN number and provides safe stripping of paints and coatings from ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steels and carbon steels, as well as plastic and silicon substrates. OVENS The No. 991 is an electrically heated 350°F C 177°C) bench oven from Grieve, currently used for heating parts including flammable solvents. Workspace dimensions are 28" wide x 24" deep x 18" high. The Nichrome wire heating elements are installed with 4 KW. This Grieve bench oven features 2' , insulated walls, leg stand, Type 304, 2B finish stainless steel interior, whereas the exterior is a brushed #4 stainless steel. To accompany the exhauster, a powered forced airflow safety switch shuts down heat if there is an exhauster failure. A purge timer provides a time period to exhaust four volumes of fresh air prior to turning the heat on. SeriesCLD is a new line ofstandard electrically heated cabinet ovens from Grieve, specially designed for use in a Class 100 cleanroom environment. They are typically utilized for drying coatings onto printed circuit boards. The unit has a maximum operating temperature of 260 C (500 F) and workspace dimensions of36 W x 36 Dx39 H. A 20 KW total heat input is installed in Incoloy sheathed rubular heating elements. A 10,000 CFM, 1-~
HP recirculating blower provides horizontal airflow across the workload, inside 4 insulated walls. For more information, please visit www.gnevecorp.com. Precision Quincy's model #49C 650D is an electrically heated oven, available in NFPA 86 Class 'A' or Class 'B' configuration. Known for its ability to successfully process a wide range of materials, the 49C 6500 is a popular choice among heat processors for most curingjdryingjpre-heating needs. The
49C 650D's compact design features two independent oven chambers (stacked one above the other), each with separate controls and sharing a single dampered exhaust system. The 49C 6500 weighs in at 1,180 lbs. with two internal working spaces of32" x 18" 0 x 18" H and exterior dimensions of 43" W x 29" 0 x 45" www.metalfinishing.com
NEW proaucts H. The oven is capable of reaching
and maintaining a maximum temperature of 650°F. An optional matching heavy-duty stand provides a stable base that adds an extra 24" to the overall height of the oven-a useful feature making for easier product loading and removal. All of Precision Quincy's ovens meet or exceed NFPA 86, NFPA 70, OSHA and UL requirements, and are factory wired, tested and balanced before shipping to ensure quick, trouble-free start-ups.

WHISKER PREVENT TECHNOLOGY Uyemura International Corp., a world leader in high-performing plating processes, has announced a new technology that prevents whisker formation in electroplated tin for 22,000 hours and longer. To be marketed under its beta test name, GHS·51, this unique, highspeed electrolytic process represents a breakthrough in the control of tin
whiskers, the most common culprits in the short circuiting of electronic components. Most often, the cause of tin whisker formation is compressive stress. The proprietary technology developed by Uyemura dissipates compressive stress, thereby preventing whisker formation. GHS-51 uses a high purity anode, and is ideally suited for connectors and semiconductor lead frames. It offers high deposition speeds for rackless and reel-to-reel processing, and high deposition efficiency over a wide current density range. The bath is lead and fluoride free, and foamresistant. Operating range is 113131°F, with 122°F the optimum. The GHS-51 film has a uniform white matte appearance; appearance after reflow is excellent. Carbon and sulfur concentrations in the film are very low, and control over liquid level is easy. The film is heat-resistant, with excellent solderability.

equipment to help industrial companies provide a safer, more comfortable environment for workers while achieving noise levels that meet regulatory agency requirements. The sound hoods are available as stan-
dard or custom units. Designed for spindle finishers and continuous thru-feed vibratory systems, including both new and existing machines, the hoods keep noise under 85 dbA. Made of sheet metal, the lightweight ALMCO hoods are lined with open-cell urethane sound-deadening material, which also is installed on undersides of covers of other types of finishing machines from the manufacturer.
