Epoxy Coating ITW Devcon Engineering Coatings Danvers, Mass.

SL 1300 is a two-component, ep- oxy-based coating ideal for resurfac- ing, sealing, and protecting new or ex- isting concrete floors. Easily applied by roller or notched squeegee it is a low-viscosity, self-leveling formula- tion that achieves complete contact with the prepared surface. SL 1300 is 100% solids and has virtually no fumes or odors. It cures rapidly to an ex- tremely hard wearing and durable sur- face, which can be subjected to foot traffic after only 24 hours, full service after 48 hours, and chemical exposure after 7 days.

Air Filtration System La-Man Corp. Port Orange, F/a.

The Model 180 Extractor/Dryer Filtration System removes tiny parti- cles of dirt, dust, oil, rust, and mois- ture from compressed air lines sim- ply, economically, and without an additional power supply. It features a 2-stage filtration system. In the first step a coalescing effect occurs as compressed air passes through a car- tridge mesh filter that captures larger contaminants and causes moisture to form larger droplets. The air then enters the extraction chamber where particles collect and moisture con- denses on the honeycomb. The parti- cle-laden water flows along the bot- tom and out the drain. In the second stage air passes through a wire-sup- ported fiber filter cartridge where
