Proper protection means more profit, a better finished product, greater customer satisfaction. Metallurgists are constantly improving the quality of steel. And, the chemists at International Paint, the world's largest ma- rine paint company, are constantly seeking new coat- ings that protect longer and are more efficient in use. "INTER-ZINC" is an inorganic zinc silicate coating designed for greater protection of steel surfaces. It is extremely corrosion resistant. Its high metallic zinc content provides exceptional cathodic protection to exposed steel in abraded areas. "INTER-ZINC" requires no special curing solution for hardening.

It is self curing. It can be applied at temperatures as low as 0°F or up to 95% relative humidity with no effect on the cure. It can be subjected to extreme changes in atmosphere 20 minutes after application. "INTER-ZINC" provides superior durability resistance to "rust creep" and has remarkable abrasion resistance when cured.

One coat of "INTER-ZINC" protects steel structures. In marine use, it is unparallelled as a primer for other coatings such as

INTERGARD® Epoxies, on ships' hulls, superstructures or off-shore drilling platforms, barges and steel piers. "INTER-ZINC" is specifically formulated for simple overcoating.

Epoxy. Overcoat "INTER-ZINC" with "INTERGARD" 4437 for interim contamination protection and/or for subsequent top coats of con- ventional International Alkyds, "INTERGARD" Epoxies, and any other type International heavy duty paints.
