Pourable Epoxy Resin

Chocking System

A colorful new bulletin contains information about Chockfast®

Orange, a pourable epoxy-resin chocking system for precise and permanent alignment of marine main-propulsion systems and aux- iliary equipment. This interna- tional 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, manufac- tured by Philadelphia Resins Cor- poration, Montgomeryville, Pa., and available throughout the world from factory-trained, cer- tified 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 as- sure precise contact with bed- plates for superior retention of critical alignment, reducing metal- chock-fretting problems which cause extensive damage to crank- shafts, crankcases and bearings.

Installation time for this pour- able, noncorroding, nonfretting, epoxy-resin system is measured in hours for a new installation or a rechocking of the largest ma- rine engine.
