Free Bulletins Describe Pourable Epoxy Resin Chocking System
A colorful new bulletin contains i n f o r m a t i o n about Chockfast® Orange, a pourable epoxy-resin chocking system for precise and permanent alignment of marine main-propulsion systems and auxiliary equipment. This international chocking system has been used to install more than 8,000 main-propulsion diesel engines with cumulative in-service hours exceeding 175 million.
Chockfast Orange, manufactured by Philadelphia Resins Corporation, Montgomeryville, Pa., and available throughout the world from factory-trained, certified representatives, is approved by Lloyd's Register of Shipping— for operation at temperatures to 80 C (176 = F)—and by all major classification societies, worldwide.
Chockfast Orange chocks assure precise contact with bedplates for superior retention of critical alignment, reducing metalchock- fretting problems which cause extensive damage to crankshafts, crankcases and bearings.
Installation time for this pourable, noncorroding, nonfretting, epoxy-resin system is measured in hours for a new installation or a rechocking of the largest marine engine.
For free copies of Bulletin 631, with general i n f o r m a t i o n and ful-color illustrations, and Bulletin 601-B, with technical information, write Nancy Heck, Philadelphia Resins Corporation, Montgomeryville, Pa. 18936.
