ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTENANCE COSTS ?

THE BOTTOM LINE IS COST REDUCTION.

TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE FACTS ABOUT THE PRORECO DECK COATING SYSTEM WHICH HAS A

HISTORY OF PROVIDING A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN DECK MAINTENANCE COSTS. • FACT No repetitive metal surface preparation cost — one time only. • FACT Complete elimination ot metal loss and replacement due to corrosion. • FACT Providing a fire-retardant, tuel and oil resistant, protective deck covering with 3 to 7 times the service life of other coatings. • FACT A minimum of 50% reduction in labor and material deck maintenance costs. • FACT A 15 year service history of providing deck maintenance cost savings on all types of high wear deck surfaces including aircraft carrier flight decks, helicopter landing platforms on military ships and on offshore drilling rigs, cruise ships, cable laying ships, ice breakers, fishing vessels and ocean going towboats of all types.

Even when they're called "heavy ditfyf .conventional paint-type coatings are brittle. ^Jiin. They crack, chip, and spall easily because they have no kfrig-tenn resistance to a ship's normal structural movement and vibration. Nor do they resist impact.

A PRC Prorcof coatings system protects your deck better, because it protects itself. The elastomeric base coat is not brittle, so it won't crack like epoxy coatings or cement-type deck coverings. It resists the heaviest impact and abrasion.

The corrosion-inhibiting primer does not .sacrifice itself as does zinc, so it stops 'corrosion short even if a rupture occurs.

No other company oners products with a track record of more than 10 years' service with virtually no maintenance costs.

All types of ships use the PRC

Proreco systems to virtually eliminate otwping deck maintenance costs: towboats, offshore rigs, cruise ships, commercial fishing boats, U.S. Naval and U.S. Coast

Guard ships of all types.
