MOBILE ELEMENTAL ANALYZER FOR SMALL PARTS
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is pushing the boundaries
of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) with the
introduction of small parts capabilities for its Thermo
Scientific Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer. This highly
portable, user-friendly analytical device-based on optical
emission spectroscopy -allows customers in locations
like oil refineries and stainless-steel production sites to
measure carbon and steel samples as small as 1/4 inch (6
mm) in diameter.
Users grading and identifying complex metal alloy
structures can now benefit from the innovative optical
engine and compact tapered-nose design of the Niton
Apollo. This analyzer brings the precision and power
of laboratory testing to the field, offering exceptional
coverage and cleaner, safer analysis for intricate samples.
The Niton Apollo Handheld LIBS Analyzer now features
an enhanced laser with a reduced aperture, allowing it
to measure previously challenging structures, including
1/4-inch (6 mm) pipes, 3/8-inch (9.5 mm) bars, and larger
weld wires. The analyzer's fully sealed Argon environment
enables rapid and precise mobile carbon analysis
for metals and alloys with accuracy and safety, while
continuing to provide excellent identification, an easy-touse
interface, calibration adaptability, drift correction, an
ergonomic design, and fast results.

Flake System. These new solutions are qualified under
MIL-PRF-32584 for monolithic deck covering materials for
interior shipboard applications, and they also meet IMO

The SeaGuard One-Step System is a seamless, durable,
ultra-high-solids, low odour system with a quartz-like
finish that can be formed into a cove base. It is available
in eight stock colours and can be customised for eyecatching
logo designs and fleet colours. The system works
in wet and dry spaces, and is easily applied onto properly
prepared surfaces including steel, aluminum, sealed
underlayment and properly cured primers.
The SeaGuard Decorative Color Flake System consists
of an ultra-lightweight underlayment with cosmetic
polymeric topcoats in a variety of colours and vinyl chip
additions. The underlayment is recommended for leveling
and smoothing deck irregularities such as welds seams,
creating a uniform walking surface. It is also approved for
use in wet spaces such as heads and showers.
The company has also added the SeaGuard Grout Coat
SHERWIN-WILLIAMS UNVEILS MARINE
DECKING SYSTEMS
Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine introduces
two innovative interior marine decking solutions for
government and commercial applications-SeaGuard
One-Step Decking System and SeaGuard Decorative Color
to its porfolio, which is intended for easy application as a
sealer for porous surfaces and underlayment. This coat
is qualified to ANSI A118.10, American National Standard
Specifications for load bearing, bonded, waterproof
membranes for thin-set ceramic tile and dimension stone
installation. As a result, there is no need for an additional
waterproofing membrane often required by competitive
systems. This benefit provides both the owner and
contractor savings in schedule, labour and installation
costs.
