A corrosion inhibiting flow wrap for storage of highvolume metal products has been launched by Technology Packaging of Northwood, UK. It eliminates the need to lubricate products with oil, and its corrosion inhibiting technology is said to last longer than previous techniques. The TechCorro flow wrap is made from two laminated layers. The inner section consists of polythene extruded with a special formulation of corrosion resisting chemicals that ‘‘volatilize and are attracted to the charged surface of the metal,’’ explains Managing Director Jerry Harwood. ‘‘The flow of electrons in the metal, and the flow of ions in the electrolyte surface, are unable to operate, halting corrosion.’’ The outer polyester layer adds strength to the wrap and allows it to be heat sealed at temperatures of up to 250 °C. The anti-corrosion technology is available within the company’s stretch and shrink films, bubble wraps, foams, paper, boards, and plastics. For more information: Technology Packaging Limited, P.O.

other NH-series instruments from Mitaka Kohki. The high-precision NH-3SP provides noncontact 3-D surface metrology, measuring geometry and roughness on all types of surfaces with a vertical resolution of 1 nm and a lateral resolution of 10 nm. Incorporating an auto-focusing lens alignment system that minimizes noise, it provides accurate measurements on slopes of up to 80° and excellent repeatability. A strong correlation between the NH-3SP’s measurement results and international roughness standards (including NIST and PTB) means that the instrument is suitable both for measuring surfaces with high aspect ratios and fragile surfaces that cannot be measured using contact methods, and for measuring surfaces that are traditionally measured using contact instruments. Numerous applications include the measurement of LCD light panel dies, aspheric lenses, dimple moldings for screens, phase gratings, thin-films, punches for narrow-pitch connectors, integrated-circuit lead frames, hard-disk drives, ball grid arrays, diamond abrasive grains, and many other samples.
