NALFLEET, BULL

Circle 95 on Reader Service Card
Ballast tanks can be protected
from rust through the use of Maxi-
Cote corrosion inhibitor from Nal-
fleet, Bull and Roberts Inc., Spring-
field, N.J. When the product is ap-
plied, it produces a stable film on
the metal surface, above and below
the waterline.
The protective film remains soft
and flexible, repels water and forms
a chemical bond with the base
metal, producing a strong durable
surface adhesion. It penetrates ex-
isting rust, cutting down consider-
ably the usual preparation time re-
quired with some alternative corro-
sion control methods.
This low viscosity liquid is easily
applied by flotation, spray or brush,
over existing coatings and rusted
surfaces, in wet or dry conditions.
Maxi-Cote applications are simple
to inspect because they remain visi-
ble on the tank surface. With its
high flash point and neutral pH, it is
non-toxic and safe to use.
When properly applied, Nalfleet,
Bull and Roberts claims that with
normal ballast tank operations,
Maxi-Cote will provide effective
corrosion protection for over two
years.

More than one million square feet
of Proreco® deck coating systems
have been applied to exterior decks
of small boats, large commercial
ships, towboats, offshore rigs and
military ships. Manufactured by
Products, Research & Chemical
Corporation (PRC) of Glendale,
Calif., the interior and exterior
Proreco coating systems are fire-
retardant, and resistant to acids,
caustic chemicals and petroleum
products.
Proreco III exterior coating sys-
tems are used to virtually eliminate
costly maintenance and down-time
for working ships. The PRC Proreco
III coating systems are specified by
many naval architects and specified
by the military due to its known
track record for corrosion control,
dependability and long wear.
Proven to be most effective, the
Proreco III coating systems have an
inherent flexibility to withstand
normal stress caused by deck move-
ment. The fire-retardant systems
provide excellent corrosion control
and are resistant to abrasion and
impact. According to PRC, one of
the advantages of Proreco III sys-
tems over rigid coatings is that the
Proreco elastomeric base is not brit-
tle and subject to cracking, chipping
or spralling.
The Proreco I coating system is
specified for habitability areas such
as heads, galleys and mess decks.
Proreco I is a low-cost, minimal
maintenance system for living
spaces. The Proreco I polyurethane
coatings provide an attractive high
gloss appearance coupled with the
long-wearing capability and flexibil-
ity to withstand structural move-
ment, impact and abrasion, with ex-
tended corrosion control. The Pro-
reco I coating system has both U.S.
Navy military specification and SO-
LAS approvals.
PRC supplies to the marine
market a full line of both one-part
and two-part polyurethane and
polysulfide sealants, caulking com-
pounds, hull coatings and com-
pounds. •
