Bright nickel plating process

tamination of areas surrounding spills and leaks. These barriers are flexible, moldable, sturdy, and shaped like a triangle. All three products form a tight seal on smooth surfaces, and are durable, reusable, and resistant to many chemicals, making them applica- ble to both everyday and emergency spills. In addition, the barriers are convenient and easy to use-simply remove them from their individual carrying cases and place them where needed to confine, control, or divert the flow of a liquid.

Multiangle Spectrophotometers Minolta Corp. Ramsey, N. J.

Minolta Corp. introduces the CM- 5 12ml and CM-512m2 multiangle spectrophotometers. Designed with three-angle illumination/single-angle viewing geometry, both make highly accurate measurements of metallic color and pearlescent finishes. A true-

angle function provides higher measurement accuracy and repeatability by automatically positioning the spectrophotometers perpendicular to the specimen surface, regardless of the contour. In addition to color, the spectrophotometers can simultaneously meas- ure the specimen surface temperature from 0-70°C in 0.1 increments. The CM-512ml measures at the DIN rec- ommended angles of 25”, 45”, and 72.5’ from specular incidence of viewing. The CM-512m2 uses the 15’, 45”, 110” geometry licenses from E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co. from specular incidence of viewing. Both models have 45’ viewing angle and are fully portable for easy on-site measurement.


Dye-Free Acid Copper Process Frederick Gumm Chemical Co. Inc. Keamy, NJ.

The Cuprafin 800 Bright Acid Cop- per Process is a dye-free system specif- ically formulated for bright acid copper

plating of zinc die castings, aluminum, and steel after an application of the appropriate base coat. Base coats can be cyanide copper, electrolytic or elec- troless nickel, depending on the application The Cuprafin 800 process pro- duces a deposit that has outstanding brightness in deep recessed areas, excellent ductility and leveling, as well as good temperature tolerance. The stability of the organic components avoids formation of harmful break- down products, resulting in easy startup after weekends or other idle periods. Additionally, the solution is free rinsing, assuring good adhesion between the acid copper and subse- quent deposits.

2000 bright nickel is completely new technology designed to provide all the benefits and none of the deficiencies and drawbacks associated with PPS and Index-type nickel systems. It provides exceptional brightness, leveling, and ductility in one easy-to-operate solution. Used in air-agitated rack plating operations, Ultra-Lite 2000 of- fers exceptional brightness and leveling in low current density areas; exceptional ductility and low internal stress; excellent chromium receptivity; ease of operation; and a fully analyzable secondary component. Unlike PPS systems, Ultra-Lite 2000 increases its

performance over time. Leveling, brightness, and ductility improve with age. No harmful degradation products are formed, eliminating downtime for expensive batch treatments.


Ion Detection Kits Fil-Chem Inc., Paul Frank Div. Brooklyn, N. Y

Fil-Chem Inc. announces the availa- bility of a line of 19 different detection kits, known as IonDetect. Each test kit is a complete, self-contained unit with everything necessary to begin testing immediately. Compact and convenient

to carry, IonDetect test strips make it easy to determine ion concentration in waste streams on-site and in the lab. Production and process control are easy, since there’s no need to shut down a line to run expensive labora- tory tests. IonDetect strips use a simple dip-and-read method to obtain accurate results in minutes.
