Containers can be rapidly and consistently warmed without hot and cold spots common with competitive products. Powerblanket warmers operate from standard 120-volt; certiÞ ed to UL/CSA/CE safety standards and Þ t 55-, 30- and 15-gallon drums. An adjustable thermostatic controller allows setting of material temperatures from ambient up to 160¡F / 71¡C. www.powerblanket.com Evonik Cyro?s Customized Specialty Acrylic Evonik Cyro and marine cover fabric manufacturer CY4EZ have developed ACRYLITE Heatstop Resist with UV Þ ltering OP3, a specialty acrylic designed for boat windows blocking 98% of incoming ultraviolet (UV) light and limiting heat penetration. ACRYLITE Heatstop Resist protects boat occupants from the sunÕs rays and shields materials inside the cabin that otherwise might deteriorate. Boats with windows made from ACRYLITE Heatstop Resist use 20% less energy when cooling the interior because the acrylic limits heat penetration and features the impact resistance and clarity of ACRYLITE Resist acrylic sheets to provide durability and prevent yellowing. www.4u2sea.com Mercury Marine Starts Production on 8.2L 2nd Generation Mercury Marine has started the production of a second- generation 8.2L engine.
