What's so SPIKEDM about... MARINE COATINGS MORE CARGO TANKS have been protected by Amer-coat's Dimetcote, the original inorganic zinc coating, than with all other materials combined. Amercoat entered the marine coatings field during World War II at a time when little or no improvement in paints had been made for about a century... Amercoat entered with new concepts and new materials to protect ships... coating systems designed to really reduce metal loss, maintenance and to prolong vessel life. Today, these "innovations" are standards, backed by 20-year success records. They are utilized throughout the world together with still newer products of Amercoat's continuing research. Today ?as 20 years ago ?Amercoat is the source for modern, scientifically-formulated coatings with the proved ability to reduce your corrosion losses. SMALLER VESSELS, like this tuna clipper, have also benefited from Amercoat's superior products... from long -life coatings which have slashed maintenance costs,and from anti-foulings which offer proved protection for as much as 24 months! WHOLE FLEETS OF PASSENGER/CARGO VESSELS have standardized on the use of Amercoat vinyl coatings for hulls, decks and superstructures after once experi-encing the outstanding benefits of these superior coatings. AMERCOAT TANK LININGS have given new cargo capabilities to hundreds of barges, enabling them to carry highly-corrosive chemicals and also to maintain product purity... without resorting to costly alternatives such as stain/ess steel. Amercoat-protected. the deck of this vessel has gone 12 years without even a touchup. Based on such experi-ence. new vessels rely on Amercoat to provide 10 years or more without maintenance. BREA.
