PLASTIC HOLDUNERS

THAT OUTPERFORM

STEEL?

OKAY MMONT, PROVE IT!

If you're finding steel plate a drag in your loading and unloading operations,

Himont has a suggestion:

Hold liners made of our 1900 UHMW*polymer.

The low coefficient of friction of this exceptional material can speed your cargo handling operations. You won't have to put up with the bridging that occurs with steel plate. And its tough, abrasion-resistant, textured surface eliminates the need for the expensive coatings that have to be applied to steel.

What's more, 1900 UHMW polymer liners can be applied quickly and economically. At sea or in dry dock.

If you'd like proof, send for free samples, a detailed report, and a list of sup pliers. Write Himont U.S.A., Inc., 1313 N. Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19894.
