Electroless Nickel Bath Fidelity Chemical Products Corp. Newark, N.J.

A new, low-phosphorus electroless nickel bath designed to provide a hard electroless nickel deposit with excel- lent corrosion resistance in alkaline en- vironments has been developed by Fi- delity Chemical Products Corp. The

new 4026 low phosphorus bath is a compressively stressed electroless nickel bath well suited for use in the electronics industry. The bath has a melting point of 1,100*C and low elec- trical resistance, making it a suitable replacement for nickel-boron deposits, and is easily soldered with RMA flux.

Spray Gun ITI/V DeVilbiss Industrial Spray Equip- ment Maumee, Ohio

The OMX spray gun from ITW DeVilbiss Industrial Spray Equipment uses the concept of Spraynomx to maximize performance. Spraynomx is the science of matching the spray equipment, finishing process, and spraying environment to the spray op- erator. The gun's lighter weight, flexi- ble air hose, and fluid tube can be routed in two ways allowing spray op- erators to get into proper spraying po- sitions. The bottom hose inlet option uses a swivel-type connector for the fluid tube and air hose. The rear hose inlet option is ideal when supply hoses

come down from the ceiling of the spray booth.
