NBS Completes Latest Phase of Major Factory Expansion


Expanded lab services include a new scanning electron microscope. The recent acquisition of new


equipment, including a scanning electron microscope (SEM) for onsite analysis of coatings performed in the lab, led to some reorganization and physical expansion of the facility it- self in order to provide a better work- flow for customers and visitors in ad- dition to some increased elbow room. The newly installed equipment,


and particularly the SEM microscope, enables Sono-Tek to gauge process


vice coatings and other nanomaterial coatings. In addition, a new corona surface treatment has been installed to better prepare substrates for im- proved surface tension characteristics prior to coating. The acquisition of at least one more surface treatment tool


is planned in the future. Contact: Sono-Tek Corporation,
