Vecom

Circle 40 on Reader Service Card

Vecom is a Dutch company that specializes in chemical cleaning and surface treatment of metals and metal alloys.

The company sold its marine department last year, but since then has tried to penetrate the marine market by selling its chem- ical cleaning services.

Corroseal is designed to convert rust into a barrier of black, non- rusting magetite, for priming metal for painting in just one application. This water-based con- verter is combined with an unpig- mented, latex copolymer primer, is nonflammable and VOC compli- ant. Corroseal has been field test- ed for use on decks, double bot- toms, ballast tanks and bilges.

Ipec LLC.

Circle 62 on Reader Service Card

Ipec L.L.C. is a holder of a patent for recyclable abrasive blasting technology. Rather than prohibit- ing manufacturers from producing equipment whose design violates

Ipec's patent, the company is offer- ing to license the technology on a per-unit basis. License fees to manufacturers will equal three to seven percent of the value of the machinery.

Ipec has also established a basis for owners of infringing machines to continue using those machines.

Depending upon whether the man- ufacturer of the infringing equip- ment cooperates in the licensing program, owners' fees for existing equipment will range from one third to two thirds of the fees for new equipment.

Infringing equipment can also b licensed on a project-by-projec basis. William D. Gluck, presi dent of Ipec, stated these fees wil be based on the number of squar feet treated.

The new line of cold repair

Eutectic composites, made with advanced ceramics, carbides, poly- mers and other materials, is designed to provide wear resis- tance and to improve the perfor- mance of equipment.

The Eutectic composites are unlike solvent-based compounds in that they produce no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other toxic fumes, and have virtu- ally no odor.

The line of Eutectic composites includes products such as Express, an emergency repair patch for a wide range of substrates; Ceramic

Brush-On, a brushable coating for protection against corrosion, cavia- tion and chemicals; and General

Repair, high performance bonding and rebuild compound.

Graco, Inc.

Circle 43 on Reader Service Card

Graco's new expanded line of high pressure corrosion control sprayers are designed to provide extra power for higher flow rates, longer lines and better automiza- tion. Pressure ratios have report- edly been increased by up to ten percent on Bulldog, King and

Premier corrosion sprayers.

Wear life of these sprayers has been extended by building extra strength into the pump couplings, piston/displacement rods and ball stops, foot valves, housing, wet cup, threads and pump outlets.

These new pumps also feature an extended three-year warranty.

Because they're safer, easier to use and more accurate over a wider range of water conditions. And they're less expen- sive in the long run than chlorination, without the taste and odor problems.
