Because Mother Nature works cheap, you can save up to 75% in rust prevention costs.

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."
