Located at 210 East Hanover Street, the new com-pany will handle manufacturing and distribution of the pellets on a national scale. Incorporated in Delaware, the firm is headed by three officers with vast experience in the blast-clean-ing industry. Two of them spent a combined 52 years with Baldwin-Ehret-Hill. They are Edward R. Stevens, chairman of the board and treasurer, who served as BEH president from 1960 until this past October, and Robert F. Hastings, president, former director of man-ufacturing at BEH. The other officer is George R. Tollefsen, executive vice-president, who is also president of Tollefsen Bros., a Brooklyn firm engaged in blast cleaning and painting of large ocean vessels, as well as large tanks and industrial equipment. Pelletronics offers a variety of blasting materials, depending on the job. Pellet size ranges from J/s inch to invisible particles for finer work.

Stevens Chemically inert and non-mag-netic, the pellets meet both federal and military specifications for glass beads in blast cleaning. Their silica content is lower than any other non-metallic spherical material cur-rently on the market. Clogging and corrosion of blast-ing equipment is reduced because the pellets do not absorb moisture. Since they are strong and dense, they can be recycled numerous times with very little wear on the equipment. Another plus feature of the new blasting materials is that they are dustless. It is estimated that a painter could follow within 50 feet of the blasting and recoat the metal surface immediately before oxida-tion sets in.
