Quality System Manual and the Quality Management System defined in the manual have been revised. Written testing methods remains unchanged, except for document naming conventions. The firm implemented the same manual at the NSL Analytical site and the NSL Metallurgical site, to have one manual across the organization. The quality conversion process was completed.

FLM36 is a B-staged film for bonding and sealing applications in the aerospace, electronic, opto-electronic and specialty OEM industries. Reportedly eliminates mixing and measuring. Can withstand temp. up to 500°F; retains high strength properties. Bonds well to metals, composites, glass and many plastics. Is a good electrical insulator. Can endure thermal and mechanical shocks, and thermal cycling. Has good chemical resistance to water, acids, bases, fuels and oils. Has release paper on each side. The assembly is fixtured and cured for 1-2 hr. at 350°F. Bonded parts are returned to 75°F before removing fixtures. Is offered in three standard sizes: FLM36-4A is 4 x 4 x 0.008"; FLM36-8B is 8 x 8 x 0.008", and FLM36-12C is 12 x 12 x 0.006".

SV2000N valves are available in 3, 12 and 18mm spray paths, suitable for urethanes, flux and silicone coatings. Are actuated by air pressure sequenced by SVC100 controller. Air pressure opens a needle in the valve, allowing material to flow; a separate air line creates pressure in the valve exit cap, atomizing the fluid. Controller sequences the time relationship between a fluid start signal and an atomizing signal. Can be installed to existing production lines with signal control or used as a bench-mounted spray station.
