Recently concluded tests conducted by Engelhard Minerals & Chemicals Corporation reveal that a newly developed epoxy-based cement has superior qualities over any other formulation when used as a dielectric shield for marine impressed current cathodic protection anodes. The name Capastic (Registered), will be retained from the previous formulation.

Test results show the new Capastic to be extremely tough and not subject to damage even by excessively high current in the vicinity of an anode. Easy application in hot or cold weather, and unlimited shelf life, are two other positive results determined from the evaluation tests.

It has further proved to be an excellent repair material as a patching cement for ship hulls, rudders, propellers, and other metallic surfaces and equally applicable to wood or plastic repairs.
