Janet M. McAllister Welcomed To NY

It's ironic that New York City's most powerful tugboat is named after two year old Janet M. McAllister, who, dressed smartly in a sailor suit, chris- July. She is the daughter of Buckley tened her namesake in a ritual at New McAllister, vice president and general

York City's South Street Seaport in late counsel of the family-owned company.

NEUTRAL RUST REMOVER RUST REMOVER AND PREPAINT COATING

Production Description/Application Production Description/Application

SSP-2100 is a nearly neutral liquid rust stripper. SSP-2100 can be used to remove rust on all ferrous metals and because it has a nearly neutral pH is even safe for use on most non-ferrous metals including zinc, aluminum and galvanized metals. It can be applied either manually or by using dip or spray methods.

SSP-2100 also passivates metal surfaces thereby providing short term rust protection. The rust protection can be enhanced to some degree by using higher concentrations. SSP-2100 can also be painted over without rinsing.

SSP-2101 is a combination rust remover, iron phosphate and rust preventive. When applied to steel or iron, SSP-2101 reacts with the metal to remove surface rust while also providing a water insoluable prepainting coating for effective paint adhension.

SSP-2101 also passivates metal surfaces to provide excellent short-term rust protection. Rust protection can be enhanced to some degree by using higher concentrations.

SSP-2101 is suitable for use in a broad range of applications either as a standalone rust stripper and/or where short term/in-process rust protection and pre-paint preparation is desired in a single product. ss wnm

CONVERSION COATING/IRON PHOSPHATINCI COMPOUND SOLVENT RUST PREVENTIVE

Production Description/Application Production Description/Application

SSP-2200 is a liquid product specially designed for simultaneous cleaning and phosphate conditioning of metals prior to painting. This one-step metal treating ability eliminates the need for multiple products and is an advantage when there is limited processing space.

SSP-2300 is a solvent-based rust preventive which offers excellent medium term rust protection. SSP-2300 dries quickly to a barely perceptible protective coating that is water displacing, non-staining and fingerprint and atmosphere neutralizing.

SSP-2200 phosphate coating is comprised of a tightly bonded coating for excellent paint adhension. SSP-2300 is primarily used for indoor rust protection. It can provide protection during transport if there is supplemental packaging. Some typical product applications include tubing, assemblies and bearings.

Spectrum has the ability to provide a wide variety of surface preparation solutions. Contact us with your specific concerns and we will work with you to develop a cost-effective program that solves your surface preparation problems.

The event, to welcome the 96-ft. (29.2 m), 5,000-hp, Eastern Shipbuilding- built tugboat home, drew a crowd of industry and non-industry gawkers as the vessel was put through its paces off of Pier 16.

Powered by a pair of EMD 12-645

E7B diesel engines which generate 5,000 hp for the Schottel SRP 1212

Steerable Kort Nozzle Rudder Pro- pellers, the vessel is able to achieve a free running speed of 13.6 knots.

As is to be expected from a vessel of this type, maneuverability is, in a word, incredible; a fact surely confirmed by the hundreds of people that stopped to stare as the vessel approached the pier at full speed, turning at the last second and initiating a series of tight circular spins.

Designed by Jensen Maritime Consul- tants of Seattle and classed by ABS, the vessel is capable of developing 120,000 ponds of push or pull in any direction.
