Now you can specify lightweight, firesafe, low-cost Marinite-23. With melamine veneers. Using hard plastic veneers on shipboard interiors always required a heavier core material, such as our Marinite-36. But no longer. Now extensive cycling tests have proved that these veneers can be applied to Marinite-23. And Marinite-23 is easier to cut, handle, install. More econom-ical, too. Marinite is an incombustible asbestos, diatomaceous silica sheet that comes in three densities?23, 36/65 pcf. All are available in a variety of finishes. (Marinite-36, with a modulus of rupture of 1200 psi, is still the strongest USCG B-15 panel made.) With Marinite, your ship interiors have complete fire safety (meeting USCG 164.008 and 32-MA-5), effective sound control, and, when faced, need only minimum maintenance.
