You don't apply Floatcoat.
The ballast water does.
Floatcoat floats on the surface of the ballast water.
Each time you raise or lower the ballast water level, you automatically apply a new coat of rust- proofing.
No surface escapes Floatcoat.
Not even hidden corners or pockets.
To keep ballast tanks, cofferdams, and rudder in- teriors really rust-free, remember this: you float, we coat.
Ask your local Texaco Marine Engineer about it.
Or send for the free booklet: "Texaco Floatcoat."
