In other Basic Materials developments:  Praxair, Inc. (NYSE: PX) has expanded its offerings to meat and poultry processors with the introduction and recent commercial installation of a cryogenic liquid nitrogen injection system for cooling of meat mixing processes. The proprietary ColdFront™ CryoBlend™ injection system can improve cryogen efficiency by over 30% versus traditional nitrogen cooling systems.  Recent testing completed at KC Sausage in Kansas City, Missouri confirms the effectiveness of liquid nitrogen to achieve precise temperature control and deliver consistent product quality and efficiency.

In other Welding Products News of Note:  Illinois Tool Works Inc. (NYSE: ITW) yesterday reported third quarter 2015 diluted earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations of $1.39, a 9 percent increase compared to the year-ago period.

Scott Santi, chairman and chief executive officer. "In the quarter, ITW set new all-time records for operating margin and after-tax return on invested capital and grew EPS by 9 percent. In addition, free cash flow conversion was very strong at 126 percent.  Due to ITW's unique business model and proven track record of operational execution, the company is well positioned to continue to deliver differentiated performance in both the current environment and over the long-term."
