COATINGS & CORROSION CONTROL Isotrol is designed to penetrate and permeate reust through to the substrate and encapsulate rust and rust particles. Both products contain a blend of resins, active oils, inhibitors, and surfactants as well as siccatives which reportedly accelerate the expulsion of trapped moisture and oxygen. Rohm And Haas Company Circle 82 on Reader Service Card Rohm and Haas Company, a spe- cialty chemicals manufacturer, was one of four companies present- ed with the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. on July 11. Rohm and Haas was recognized for its development of Sea-Nine 211 marine antifoulant, which uses isothia- zolone chemistry as a more envi- ronmentally acceptable ingredient in marine paints. The Green Chemistry Challange Award was established by an alliance of the chemical industry and the Clinton Administration to recognize and promote fundamen- tal breakthroughs in chemistry that accomplish pollution preven- tion through source reduction. In March of this year, Rohm and Haas announced the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Bayport, Texas, dedicated to the production of the company's isoth- iazolone biocides and antifoulant products. Kansai Paint Co., Ltd. Circle 80 on Reader Service Card Nu-Forte Barrier, from Kansai Paint, is designed for the repair of heavily-corroded areas and pitting corrosion of ships. In combination with Nu-Forte or Nu Cep, Nu- Forte Barrier reportedly provides permanent protection of all types of vessels. Nu-Forte Barrier can be applied by brush or roller with no thinner required. Nu-Forte Barrier requires a minimum film thickness of 2,000 microns (2mm) and has a pot life that ranges from three hrs. at 5° C to 30 min. at 30° C.

Euronavy International Circle 99 on Reader Service Card Euronavy International, an ISO 9002 company that has produced quality paints for over 13 years, has introduced a new product, Euro-basic ES301. Euro-basic ES301 is a two pack composite epoxy coating that can be applied on wet and rusty surfaces in 100 percent humid conditions, with no dew point restrictions. This epoxy coating has epoxy composite, allowing it to reach steel surfaces by removing water molecules from the surface. Being moisture com- patible, Euro-basic ES301 allows High water blasting surface prepa- ration. Euro-basic ES301's formu- lation creates a strong chemical and mechanical bond between the coating and the substrate, allowing adhesion to wet and rusty surfaces possible. Euro-basic ES301 is a solvent free coating of 100% vol- ume solids that complies with VOC regulations, so the abscence of harmful solvents makes it easier and safer to apply. Intelligent Power for Marine Applications Hagglunds Drives is a supplier of hydraulic drives for the marine and offshore industry and tough industrial applications. The Viking motors has been fitted into many thousand's of ship cranes on board ships sailing on the seven seas. Working in tropical heat and arctic cold. Day after day, year after year. The Viking motor is a high-torque low speed motor which has a mechanical efficiency as well as a starting efficiency of 97%. Because of the extremely low moment of inertia the motor is virtually insensitive to shock loads. The Viking motor is designed to be highly resistant to severe working conditions and environments. The Viking has proven itself on board ships, in underwater applications, in explosive and chemically corrosive industrial environments, in extreme heat and freezing cold.
