PRODUCTS FINISHING — PFonline.com 9 THE VOICE OF FINISHING 80 YEARS Flashback Nov. 1974: Developments and Trends in Pretreatment, by John Curran. Sept. 1992: Racking Efficiency, by Richard Leopold. April 2000: Contrast Electrocoating, by Keith Anderson. THE VOICE OF FINISHING 80 YEARS NEWS RESEARCH & DEVELOPME You may know the work we've done. You may not necessarily know the work it took to get there. You may just see the bucket, but we see a dedicated team of chemists, engineers and researchers. All working together to develop, manufacture and manage real-world surface protection solutions for a variety of fastener needs. A team that listens to the customer and tailors the coating to meet specific challenges. A team that knows how to choose the right coaters that provide best-in-class operation for consistency and quality. And a team that helps you realize the performance you expect. That's quite a lot from a bucket. From the start, it's all about the finish. www.doerken-mks.com 517.522.4600 Dörken DELTA-PROTEKT ® Inorganic coating systems Dörken DELTA ® -TONE Non-electrolytic zinc flake basecoat system Dörken DELTA ® -SEAL Topcoat systems for a variety of metals Dörken DELTACOLL ® Clear and black topcoats for zinc and zinc alloy electroplating DELTA-MKS ® coatings & finishing systems product line includes: Electroplating Hall of Fame Nominations Open Nominations for the Products Finishing Electroplating Hall of Fame are being accepted through December.
