water portion of water-based wastes. This methodology reduces the effluent to 2-S% of its original volume. Typical applications include plating solutions, various rinsewaters, ion exchange re- generate, tumbling solutions, alkaline cleaners, RO/UF concentrates, wire drawing compounds, floor-scrubber waters, machine/grinding coolants, stamping/drawing compounds, and diecasting solutions.

Zero-VOC Coating Tioga Coating Corp. Calumet City, 111.

Tioga Coatings Corp. has introduced a zero-VOC, liquid-coating system. TioTech 20 is a 100% solids, bakeable, sprayable coating that is solvent- and water-free. Engineered as an altema- tive to costly powder conversion for manufacturers who need long-term environmental compliance, TioTech 20 achieves low, dry film builds at

0.5-1.0 mil. The material is fully recyclable, and recycled material does not change the material’s build charac- teristics. The coating is applied at room temperature (warmer if desired) using standard high-speed rotary atomizers or conventional or electrostatic air atomized guns. Fast color changes are possible, and the coating is fully blendable. There are four coatings within the TioTech 20 series: high- temperature cure, rapid/low-tempera- ture cure, exterior weatherable, and general interior surfaces.

Attention Copper and Brass Platers.. . SUPER-Q Additive Improves Appearance and Brightness

SUPER-Q liquid additive for cyanide copper and brass plating solutions greatly improves the appearance and bright- ness of plated parts over a wide range of current densities - at lower temperatures than previously possible. And, SUPER-Q contains no chemicals that promote anode corrosion. SUPER-Q offers these benefits: ??Exceptional Brightness-attractive finishes for copper

and brass ??Wide Plating Range - useful in both barrel and rack

applications ??lower Cost - low temperature operation cuts heating

requirements and reduces carbonate build-up in baths ??Reduction in Nickel Required -full brightness

achieved through fine-grained deposits . and it won’t interfere with your pollution control system

because it contains no complexing agents.
