They carry the most advanced weapons against corrosion.

Military aircraft and ships arm themselves against corrosion with PRC sealants and coatings.

Based on proprietary PRC Permapol®

Polymers, PRC sealants and coatings are elastomeric, providing the flexibility to "give" with movement caused by thermal shock, vibration, and other environmental factors.

Where other materials become brittle and crack over time, PRC products maintain their elasticity. In addition to having a high degree of chemical resistance,

PRC coatings are also abrasion and impact resistant.

PRC coatings conform to the rigorous standards out- lined by the EPA under VOC regulations. The end result: long-term protection.

PRC Proreco® Decking Systems have 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.
