Extreme Testing: Stork expands its environmental simulation capabilities

NEW BERLIN, WI - November 7, 2005

Stork Technimet, Inc. of New Berlin, Wisconsin announces the recent
installation of an new environmental chamber. Sidewall ports inside the
fully programmable, 32-cubic-foot volume chamber allow Stork scientists to
monitor and record changes that take place within the sample during
testing, an advanced feature that provides precise data on samples
subjected to the accelerated aging process.

Jeff Jansen, Polymer Science Manager says about the new instrument, "The
ESPEC ESX-4CA Platinous Temperature & Humidity Chamber opens a new door for
us and for our clients who need product testing. We can now offer extreme
ranges of temperature, from -70 °C to 150 °C (-94°F to 302°F) and humidity
(5% to 98%) in any combination or sequence as well as a workspace large
enough for most samples. Being able to monitor the sample internally will
give our clients much more information about what is happening to their
samples in a chosen environment--and will help them choose materials,
protective coatings, processes, and even packaging. A machine like this
help take the unwelcome surprises out of manufacturing."

The ESPEC Chamber is installed and running, and has already completed X
tests for clients of Stork Technimet. For more information about
environmental simulation, product testing, or other kind of testing and
