THE ENGINEERED SOLUTION

The concept of poured-in-place resin chocks for marine engines was conceived at Philadelphia Resins Corpo- ration almost 20 years ago. This concept has been proven, unquestionably, through the mounting of 70 million horsepower on CHOCKFAST.

Factors contributing to the remarkable performance of

CHOCKFAST include: a precision fit, superior modulus of elasticity, higher coefficient of friction against steel, and the application expertise of factory trained world- wide installation specialists. The system Philadelphia

Contacting the worldwide CHOCKFAST organization for your new construction, engine retrofits and repairs pro- vides owners and operators with proven superior per- formance and maximum dependability.

We never resort to guesswork in our application engi- neering; and we never compromise on quality from the finest raw materials to guaranteed product performance.

You can depend on Philadelphia Resins' closely-knit, thoroughly trained CHOCKFAST representatives: skilled specialists who have chocked thousands of marine die- sels and provided valuable on-site services in all major ports throughout the world. 7W Philadelphia Resins Corporation a complete family of formulated products for the marine industry.

THE PERMANENT CHOCK

The main propulsion system is the most expensive, most im- portant and hardest working component on any ship. To keep a vessel at sea, permanent en- gine alignment is essential.

Steel chocks allow large diesels to pound down on them, caus- ing slack bolts, loose chocks, misalignment — and ultimately — severe damage to costly en- gines.

Due to the precise fit of poured- in-place CHOCKFAST, critical alignment is permanently maintained. No engine has ever been damaged as a result of a CHOCKFAST mounting.
