PRODUCT
Kwik Mix Company, Port Washington, Wisconsin, has added a variation of the standard model S-10 MOTO-BUG to the manufacturer's line of material handling equipment.
Maintaining the basic features of the present S-10, company engineers have designed a new type of rotating 16 cu. ft. stainless or standard steel hopper for the unit. The new hopper will handle bulk materials for the chemical, food and construction industries.
The S-10, equipped with this type hopper can handle loads of up to 800 lbs, to a dumping height of up to 7 ft. Dumping can be handled either manually or by remote control.
Its compact design and short 61-inch turning radius let the S-10 move freely inside a plant. A steady, 3-wheel base and all-welded, heavy gauge chassis gives it the ability to work outside, too. Forward and reverse speeds up to 4.5 mph provide good mobility.
Power is supplied by a single cylinder, gasoline engine through a roller chain drive.

PROFIT
Wal-Lok Division of Lenowee Peerless, Inc., Adrian, Michigan announces that Wal-Lok Horizontal Mortar Joint Reinforcing is now being manufactured and sold in three grades. Previously furnished only in Superstandard and Extra Heavy grades it may now be purchased in a Standard Grade. Standard Wal-Lok has No. 9 ga. Siderods with No. 10 ga. galvanized Crossrods and is less costly.
Standard Wal-Lok, like the other two grades is double deformed for maximum anchorage in the mortar. Side deformation of 1/32 in. each way off center increases gripping quantities 4.6 times over plain wire according to the manufacturer. 14 square cut teeth per inch are rolled into both the top and bottom of each Siderod for an additional 64 mortar locks per inch.
The company states that Wal-Lok in all three grades should be laid in the wall with the Cross rods down. This hold the Wal-Lok up off the block far enough so that the mortar completely surrounds the Sidesrods and makes for a more perfect bond.
New Standard Wal-Lok like the other two grades is the rectangular type which results in less weight, greater rigidity and presents far less obstruction to pipe conduit or insulation in the wall according to the manufacturer.
For specifications, test results, pricing information and other details write for four page brochure to Wal-Lok Division, Lenawee Peerless, 1501 E Michigan Street, Adrian, Michigan.

Epoxy Liquid
Rez Duraclear, a new polyest epoxy liquid "veneer", for protection of painted woodwork, masonry, plaster, wall board, and many other surfaces, has been introduced by Rez Wood-Tone Inc, Pittsburgh.
When dry, the new coating forms a clear ceramic-like surface that is 1½ times harder than automobile enamel. It is scrubbable and cannot be injured by most common household chemicals and stains. Available in soft, invisible satin or very high gloss, this finish is guaranteed not to yellow after application. (The product carries a money-back" guarantee on the non-yellowing aspect.) Combining a tough, chemical resistant resin and a permanently clear polyester resin results in a hard, transparent coating that will cling to and protect almost any surface.
Rez Duraclear can be applied with a brush, roller or spray. A two-component material, it is sold in a two-can kit. Before application, the contents of the small can are poured into the large can. This starts a chemical action which produces the protective "veneer."
Further information can be obtained from Rez Wood-Tone Inc., Box 142, Springdale, Pa.
