'ALLOPRENE' IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK, PROPERTY OF IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED. The Sigship Group of Oslo, Norway call Sigtina the best-painted baby they've ever had. (Baby? She goes at 74,000 tons!) Three years ago, when Sigtina entered service, she wore a complete 'Alloprene'® chlorinated rubber paint system ? superstructure, decks, boot top, bottom. (How's that for paint versatility ?) Since then, Sigtina has sailed and sailed without once needing to dock for a major paint job. And her paintwork is inspected regularly and thoroughly. With 'Alloprene' high build coatings, money-, time- and labor-saving records like this are the rule. These tough films resist salt spray and sea water. . . they beat corrosion . . . and are reported in some instances to produce up to 15% savings in fuel consumption. One 'Alloprene' high build coating gives a dry film thickness of 5 mils, equalling five conventional coats. It goes on fast ? under all climatic conditions ? by brush, roller or airless spray, forming a strong inter-coat adhesion. This means excellent recoatability, allowing easier repair of local damage. You may not own a 74,000 ton "Baby", but if you want long-lasting protection against corrosion, wear and weather for structural steel, chemical plants, tanks, tank trucks, marine installations, get the 'Alloprene' storyl 'Alloprene' is now made in the U.S.A.
