485 Ships prove Mobil Marine Paints can really take it! t Mobil Maintenance and Marine H Coatings How do we know Mobil Marine Paints can really take it? We test them on one of the largest tanker fleets in the world?our own fleet. Improve them. Retest them. Take out all the "bugs" on our own ships. You get all the benefits of our on-the-sea research?paints that protect through years of typhoons and hurricanes, blistering sun and gale winds. Basic systems for tailor-made hull protection: Four-Coat Vinyl System?the S/S MORMACVEGA, as pictured above, is coated with our Four Coat Vinyl System from Keel to Rail. She recently broke the North Atlantic westbound cargo liner speed record. We like to think our smooth vinyls contributed in attaining this speed record. Inorganic Zinc/Vinyl System?The Mobil fleet has standardized with our Inorganic Zinc/Vinyl System for Topsides, Decks and Superstructures. Mobilzinc 7, an inorganic zinc ethyl silicate, similar to cold galvanizing, is the foundation of this system. Zinc Rich Epoxy/Epoxy System?This system is currently being applied to the entire exterior of over 1,000,000 D.W.T. of ships in Japan. Mobilzinc 4, an organic zinc rich epoxy, is used as a shop primer in conjunction with automatic blasting. Learn aII about additional Mobil Marine Coatings in our free booklet. Top-sides.
