Among product lines discussed are the high performance Devran marine coatings systems; Catha-

Coat high quality inorganic zinc coatings; the ABC-AF system of ablative antifouling coatings; the

Bar Rust product line that provides economic corrosion control in situa- tions where grit blasting is impracti- cal or too costly; and the Devflex line of fire-retardant, water-based enamels.

The company's "Supply and Ap- ply" service is explained as a con- cept where Devoe Marine is desig- nated as the prime contractor by the owner or shipyard, with Devoe fur- nishing the coating material and ap- plication service. The significant benefits to the customer include a complete turnkey project from ini- tial survey to final inspection and guarantee; the concept is applicable to a single task maintenance con- tract or to a long-term maintenance situation.

Devoe's commitment to safety, health and environmental protec- tion is emphasized with the coal tar- free "coal tar epoxy" product line that eliminates the carcinogenic ex- posure risks associated with coal tar resins, and in a number of other products developed by the compa- ny.

A listing by name of high per- formance specialty coatings for commercial, offshore, and military use is included in the publication, along with photographs and draw- ings that complement the text.
