wide variety of substrates. NiKlad Eclipse deposits typically measure 22 on the LAB color scale, with a 94 to 96% absorption rate. The deposits provide excellent corrosion protection, and withstand more than 1,000 hours of neutral salt spray exposure per ASTM B117. NiKlad Eclipse deposits are UV stable and will not fade or discolor over time or with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. NiKlad Eclipse utilizes electroless nickel technology to produce a uniform black deposit even on the most complex components. NiKlad Eclipse deposits are conductive and can be used in applications which require a conductive deposit. or when an addi~ tionallayer of electrophoretic lacquer is desirable. The NiKlad Eclipse products are formulated without any heavy metal stabilizers, and are compliant

Pavco is excited to showcase two innovative zinc nickel alloy technologies to help meet the growing demand for post-plate fabrication requirements. In an effort to meet specific preferences around the globe. both alkaline and chloride alloy systems are available.

Process Technology, a wet process heating and cooling manufacturer, unveils its new SmartOne™ line of PTC (positive temperature coefficient) electric immersion heaters. With the SmartOne™ technology, thermal overtemperature protectors are no longer required for safe operation. SmartOne™ PTC heaters will not burn out in air like traditional resistance heaters. Note: This product is cULus listed. A PTC heater utilizes solid state ceramic heating elements as its heat source. These devices are "self-limiting" -the maximum temperature is internally limited regardless of the operating conditions. Therefore. these heaters have a built-in safety not previously available in electric immersion heaters. Traditional resistance heaters have the

potential for a runaway heat condition if operated out of solution, but a PTC heater can self limit its maximum temperature regardless if operated in water, air, or surrounded by buildup. If the temperature goes down, so does the resistance (thereby increasing power output). If the heat transfer is restricted, as would happen when, i.e., operating in air, the temperature will increase (as will the resistance), resulting in reduced power output. Finally, buildup and scale--common threats to heater life-will not cause the SmartOne™ to overheat.
