New Shipboard Decking

Now Available From Selby

Flexi-Flor® MT (marine type), a specially compounded decking for Naval and merchant vessels, is now available from Selby, Bat- tersby & Co. Flexi-Flor MT is a homogeneous rubber without backing or fabric insert. It was developed by the R.C.A. Rubber

Company, an Ohio Corporation of

Akron, and features high dielec- tric strength—minimum of 40,000 volts—which makes it ideal for use in shipboard electrical equip- ment areas.

The resilient decking is ap- proved by the U.S. Navy for use when specifications MIL-M-1556- 2C (Navy) and Federal Specifi- cation L-F-00450 (COM. NBS) must be met. It provides a firm, nonslip footing which acts as a cushion and helps reduce leg fa- tigue. Flexi-Flor MT is durable, easy to maintain, and crack and crevice free for fast, easy cleanup.

The decorative surface is avail- able in four marbleized colors— blue, brown, off-white and red.

Selby reports that Flexi-Flor is readily available for prompt ship- ment from the plant and distribu- tors' stocks.

For further information, write requesting Flexi-Flor MT Bul- letin, Selby, Battersby & Co., 5220 Whitby Avenue, Philadel- phia, Pa. 19143.
