DNV Gives Drewgard 'OK'

Ashland Chemical Company's (ACC) Drew Marine Division has received a Type Approval

Certificate from DNV for use of 'Drewgard WB' corrosion preventa- tive as a semi-hard ballast coating.

This designation means that annu- al ballast surveys may possibly be avoided.

This new coating and process reportedly lowers the total costs of application, and eliminates dry- docking, while giving hard-coating performance with a normal service life of five years. It is a wax and synthetic polymer formulated with water as its carrier.

The resulting film reportedly will not crack or peel, and is thin- ner, brighter in color for easier inspection, and has a shelf life of approximately two years. It reportedly dries in 45 minutes while needing only one thin 4-5 mils thick coat.

The sea respects no one - least of all the weak. She demands respect and receives it from those who live on her. We at Leslie Controls understand this and have made our products with the quality and reliability necessary for marine service. Quality and reliability are designed into each product.

Leslie Controls produces the most complete line of ship- board fluid control products in the industry. These include Control Valves, Temperature Regulators,
