Abstract
Sheen Instruments report that 1985 has been their best year for sales of instruments for corrosion control and measurement, including wet and dry film thickness measurement, pinhole detectors and holiday dectors. In fact, Sheen managing director Alan Routs told this journal that in 1986 there will be no price increases for these products. He added: ‘We are delighted to pass on to our customers the cost reduction benefits brought about by substantial volume increases and the efforts of our design and production staff. We believe our product range continues to offer the best value for money in the industry.’
All technical or commercial developments in the Surface Coatings Industry, will inevitably prominently feature R&D and more particularly Quality Control.

Abstract
Dr. John Peter Burden, assistant managing director of Cray Valley Products Ltd., visited China recently at the invitation of the China International Trust & Investment Corporation (CITIC). Dr. Burden visited the Canton Fair, and various Ministries in the capital Beijing (formerly Peking). The main purpose of the visit was discussions with representatives of the surface coatings industry of Liaoning Province in the city of Shenyang (formerly Mukden) in north east China. This was the first visit by any representative from C.V.P. to the People's Republic of China. The discussions covered a wide range of subjects within the surface coatings field, and as was expected, the discussions were very searching and detailed. Dr. Burden reports that the contacts at all levels were on a most friendly basis and conducted with charm and expertise. It was evident that a considerable amount of homework had been done by the Chinese, and that they have very clear objectives for trading with Western partners which will require considerable flexibility on the part of those wishing to do business with the People's Republic of China.
