I 'ALLOPRENE' IS A BEG I BIER ED TRADEMARK, PROPERTY OF IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED. The Sigship Group of Oslo, Norway call Sigtina the best-painted baby they've ever had. (Baby? She goes at 74,000 tons!) Three years ago, when Sigtina entered service, she wore a complete 'Alloprene''® chlorinated rubber paint system ? superstructure, decks, boot top, bottom. (How's that for paint versatility?) Since then, Sigtina has sailed and sailed without once needing to dock for a major paint job. And her paintwork is inspected regularly and thoroughly. With 'Alloprene' high build coatings, money-, time- and labor-saving records like this are the rule. These tough films resist salt spray and sea water. . . they beat corrosion . . . and are reported in some instances to produce up to T5% savings in fuel consumption. One 'Alloprene' high build coating gives a dry film thickness of 5 mils, equalling five conventional coats. It goes on fast ? under all climatic conditions ? by brush, roller or airless spray, forming a strong inter-coat adhesion. This means excellent recoatability, allowing easier repair of local damage. You may not own a 74,000 ton "Baby", but if you want long-lasting protection against corrosion, wear and weather for structural steel, chemical plants, tanks, tank trucks, marine installations, get the 'Alloprene' story! 'Alloprene' is now made in the U.S.A. Contact ICI AMERICA INC., Box 1274, Stamford, Conn. 06904 (203) 327-3200; Deerfield, III. (312) 945-1905; Los Angeles, Cal. (213) 749-7235.
