The Industrial Materials business delivered another strong quarter, with sales up 19% after excluding sales from the divested distribution product line, related to strong demand in high performance automotive and tooling markets.  Aerospace Materials also delivered steady sales growth related to build rate increases in the large commercial transport sector.  
 
"In Process Separation delivered excellent earnings in the quarter due to strong sales to the copper and phosphine markets offsetting soft demand in alumina.  Additive Technologies remains steady despite tough economic conditions in its key markets.  Demand trends in our key growth markets look positive and I am confident in our ability to deliver our increased earnings per share projections for the year."
