ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE COSTS?

THE BOTTOM LINE IS COST REDUCTION.

TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE FACTS ABOUT THE PRORECO DECK COATING SYSTEM WHICH HAS A

HISTORY OF PROVIDING A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN DECK MAINTENANCE COSTS. • FACT No repetitive metal surface preparation cost — one time only. • FACT Complete elimination of metal loss and replacement due to corrosion. • FACT Providing a fire-retardant, fuel and oil resistant, protective deck covering with 3 to 7 times the service life of other coatings. • FACT A minimum of 50% reduction in labor and material deck maintenance costs. • FACT A 15 year service history of providing deck maintenance cost savings on all types of high wear deck surfaces including aircraft carrier flight decks, helicopter landing platforms on military ships and on offshore drilling rigs, cruise ships, cable laying ships, ice breakers, fishing vessels and ocean going towboats of all types. • Most deck coatings hav

Even when they're called "heavy dutyT funventioral paint type coatings are brittle. "Dim. They crack, chip, and spall easily because they have no long-term resistance to a ship's normal structural movement and vibration. Nor do they resist impact.

Moisture is harmless, until vour deck coating gives it a break.

Once moisture lit |HHCfl deck, harmful otto- £ sJfcOjf V^ son bejgnsunme- k^vl^i maintenance are the only solution.

A PRC Proreof coatings system protects your deck better, because it protects itself. The elastcimenc base coat is not brittle, so it won't crack like epaxy cnatings or oement-type deck coverings. It resists the heaviest impact and abraswn.

The corrosion-inhibiting primer does not .sacrifice itself as does zinc so it stops "corrosion short even if a rupture occurs.

No other company offers products with a track record of more than 10 years' service with virtually no maintenance costs.

All types of ships use the PRC

Prorecn systems to virtually eliminate oiwoing deck maintenance costs: towboats. offshore rigs, cruise ships, commercial fishing boats. U.S. Naval and U.S. Coast

Guard ships of all types.
