es securely with thumb screws and its hinged side stays upright when open, but closes easily to help reduce vapor emissions. Its large 18-in. lid opening makes filling easy, and its polyethylene construc- tion will not rust or corrode. To aide in waste segregation, the funnel is available in three colors - - black, red, and yellow. Circle 315 on reader service card
COATINGS REMOVAL NitroCision www. nitrocision.com NitroCision has in t roduced NitroJet to the auto manufactur- ing and aeronautics industries as an al ternat ive to water je t tech- nology. The technology uses liquid ni trogen ins tead of water to cut and remove coatings. It cleans as it cuts, then d isappears as it r e tu rns to its original gaseous
state in the earth's atmosphere. It has applications in the machining of exotic mater ia l s and can remove coatings from a variety of subs t ra t e mater ia l s including metal, plastic, ceramic, and fiber- glass. Because ni t rogen is iner t and compatible with most chemi- cals, Ni t roJe t can be used with flammable or explosive materials and those sensitive to moisture. It shares similar capabil i t ies with water je t technology, but because it cuts without the use of pressur- ized water, it does not generate a secondary s tream of waste.

H ~ - D ~ SOAK ¢¢FJU~i|S Houghton International Inc. www.houghtonintl.corn Houghton 's In ternat ional ' s Surface Finishing division is offering two heavy-du ty immer-
sion cleaners that provide superi- or resul ts for both ferrous and nonferrous alloys. These concen- t ra ted liquid cleaners - - Houghto-Clean® 8001 and Houghto-Clean® 8011 - - cost- effectively remove inert soils and carbonaceous mater ia l from metal surfaces, achieving a com- plete wa te r break-free surface. These cleaners are typically used as the first step in multi-stage, in- line cleaning processes to prepare meta l surfaces for manganese phosphat ing, heavy zinc phos- phating, prepaint phosphating, or plating. Houghto-Clean 8001 and 8011 are soluble, stable, liquid concentra tes tha t contain alka- line, heavy-duty detergents, and emulsifiers tha t rapidly dissolve most indust r ia l oils, as well as par t icula te and carbonaceous smut.
