Progressive Products offers the

TFT line of solvent-free epoxies.

Bio-Gard 251 and Bio-Dur 561 both reportedly have the ability to be applied underwater. Bio-Dur 561 also passed both ANSI and

ASTM 3911 Criteria for DBA and radiation, as well as Decon at 95 percent removal. Similar to Bio-

Dur 561 is Bio-Dur 560, a thinner version of the same product. Bio-

Gard 251 contains a Kevlar micro- fiber reinforcement that Bio-Dur 561 and Bio-Dur 560 do not have.

Biotherm 453 is a three-part epoxy created to provide a durable, single application coating and insulating system. Biotherm was originally designed for deck- mounted chemical tanks in order to replace the rock wool insulation and protective outside jacket now in use. Biotherm has one-half the insulating properties of fresh, undamaged rock wool and report- edly absorbs less than one percent of its weight in water when sub- merged for over 14 days.
