corrosion. This film remains even when the ballast is discharged.

The rust-retarding qualities of

Protecsol-100 have been found to be outstanding when based on tests by a leading independent laboratory specializing in marine corrosion studies. Exposure of steel to a Pro- tecsol-100 solution provides protec- tion that remains even after the inhibited solution is replaced by un- inhibited water. The solution con- tains no chromates, nitrites, or orga- no-nitrogen compounds.

ELECTROCATALYTIC

Chloropac™ and Capac™ systems manufactured by Electrocatalytic are recognized leaders in marine ap- plications. Both products are of- fered in a complete range of capaci- ties to meet the needs of commercial and military use. After sales needs are fulfilled by worldwide, factory stocked service centers, manufac- turing licensees and service repre- sentatives.

Chloropac installations control the complete range of marine growth—from bacteria and slime to barnacles and mussels. Marine operators select Chloropac to elimi- nate downtime for cleaning and im- prove heat transfer. Now studies show that eliminating bacteria re- duces corrosion—a further benefit in both reduced maintenance and extended service life.

Capac has introduced a new cor- rosion control anode for high pres- sure or deep submergence (DS). Uti- lizing proven military concepts, this

DS design incorporates wrought platinum clad on a niobium sub- strate. The anode is mounted either flush or recessed into the structure.

Once the gland is welded in place the anode can be replaced while the structure is submerged.

DS anodes were initially installed on offshore oil production plat- forms. The diver serviceable (DS) feature of the anode is highly pre- ferred when damage to the anode is likely. Therefore, icebreakers now utilize the DS design as well. Other ship and rig operators have speci- fied DS for their applications, since the diver serviceable feature assures 100% cathodic protection capacity without delay and cost of drydock- ing.

Electrocatalytic is a world leader in providing equipment and service, to the marine field, which protect the user's investment and offers cost saving alternatives to historical technology.

HEMPEL'S

Hempel's Marine Paints Ltd. re- cently introduced Uniprimer 1385, a one-coat primer which can be used on all areas of a ship above the waterline.

Uniprimer 1385 is the latest prod- uct to be added to Hempel's "Main- tenance-Made-Easy" program.

The other two products currently in the program are Hempel's "two- primer and finish in one coat—and

Hempel's Multi-Mil system which combats pitting in cargo tankers.

Hempel's Uniprimer 1385 pro- vides excellent corrosion protection on hand-prepared surfaces, dries rapidly and provides a sound fabri- cation for a wide range of top coats.

According to the company, Uni- primer reduces costs to a shipowner because it is the only onboard prim- er an owner may need for any area of a ship except below waterline, thus making it unnecessary to stock different primers. Also, the risk of mixing incompatible paint systems is eliminated.

Hempel's "Maintenance-Made-

Easy" program is being backed by new "tailor-making" maintenance posters and manuals, designed for each individual ship.

Through computerization, tailor- made manuals and posters can be produced for each individual ship type, including variations depend- ing on the main engine type the ship is equipped with.

For each area of the ship (14 areas) the individual maintenance specification to be used is given in these manuals and posters. In addi- tion, the manuals give individual user instructions for each paint sys- tem.

Tailor-making of this sophistica- tion has been made possible through (continued)
