Johnson Engineering (JE), a SPACEHAB Company, is a prime contractor (NAS9-18800) to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at Johnson Space Center (JSC), Houston, TX. JE is seeking qualified sources that can provide HELIOSCAN HD 530 PM Film (Manufactured by AGFA) for use in Manned Space Flight. This film is specially intended for use as original on electromechanical engraving machines for engraving cylinders with the application of conversion gravure. Helioscan HD 530 is a negative working, U.V. sensitive contact film. It's a daylight film which can be processed in dimmed U.V. free white light. The emulsion is coated on a white opaline polyester base: 0.18 mm. HELIOSCAN HD 530 pm is appropriate for negative contact work in room light of all screen and line work such as copying screened colour selections and black and white work and copying all line work. Special propreties are: Steep gradation. Average gradient: approx 3, High maximum density D max: approx 2.3. This is hardly affected by any fluctuation. This is an advantage when programming electro-mechanical engraving machines. Can be processed in light, line as well as halftone developers. Dries very fast and lies flat before as well as after processing : this is of importance for exposure in repeat machines. It is dimensionally very stable. The film complies with the most stringent regulations concerning affluents and environmentas protection. The film is cadmium free. Handling the film Workroom lighting: HELIOSCAN HDD 530 can be handled in U.V. free white light without affecting its photographic properties, the film can be exposed to lighting of 200 Lux in the workroom for 40 minutes if the back is facing the light source and for 2 minutes if the emulsion side is exposed to the light (Sylvania CWX). In U.V. free light of 100 Lux this can even amount to respectively 5 hours and 15 minutes. Exposure: It is recommended the material be exposed to a strong U. V. containing light source. A metal halogen lamp as used in the contact printing apparatus CDL 1020 R. CDL 1502 CDL 2002 R. Processing: HELIOSCAN HD 530 can be developed in a METOL- hydroquinone-bath as well as in a lith and line developer. The Rapid Access METOL-Hydroquinone is the most appropriate. The film can be processed together with other films. Qualified sources are requested to submit a Statement of Capabilities (SOC), including a published price list, brochures and equipment specifications, within 13 calendar days of the publication date of this notice.
