Coatings for Industry (CFI) has launched an interactive coatings selection tool dubbed Coatingstown.
The company says the tool will help facility owners, specifiers and contractors to identify the right resinous flooring system for any job.
The Coatingstown selection tool can also be found in CFI’s 2021 Floor Coatings Brochure. The 16-page catalog promotes all WearCOAT Products and Systems. It includes product and system descriptions, and a comprehensive table where users can match coating systems to their job.
“Coating specification isn’t always easy, and there are many variables that can affect the success of a floor coating job,” says Lou Frank, Director of Business Development for CFI. “The new Coatingstown interactive graphic online and accompanying brochure are powerful new tools to help designers and contractors get their jobs going.”

Paul N. Gardner USA, global distributors, producers, and designers of quality physical and inspection instruments for the paint, coatings, and related industries, has introduced a new offering: The compact, portable Sling Psychrometer.
As an easy way to measure relative humidity levels quickly, this uniquely compact Bacharach Sling Psychrometer accurately determines per cent relative humidity without the necessity of consulting complex tables. There is no need to wet the wick each time a reading is taken, and it contains a slide rule calculator which correlates wet and dry bulb thermometer indications for direct reading of relative humidity. When not in use, the thermometer case telescopes into the handle for protection.
The Sling Psychrometer consists of two thermometers that are turned by vigorously swinging the handle and exposing the thermometers to rapid air movement. These two thermometers are called dry bulb and wet bulb. The bulb of one thermometer is placed in direct contact with the room air to measure dry-bulb air temperature. The bulb of the other thermometer is covered with a silk or muslin sleeve that is kept moist to record the wet bulb temperature. Evaporation cools the wet bulb more than the dry bulb, and the humidity is obtained as a function of change in temperature. The atmospheric humidity is determined by calculations, steam tables, or using a psychrometric chart. Gardco.com
