Magna-Bond marine coatings are again available to the marine trade after three years of being off the market. Plasma Chemical Systems, Inc., 13909 Lee Jackson Highway, Chantilly, Va. 22021, has purchased the patents, formulas and processes pertinent to the Magna-Bond product line from the MB Coatings Company.
Plasma Chemical Systems is a relatively new manufacturer of synthetic bituminous products that are used for various applications. Its primary product is known as 'Plasmofalt.' In an expansion move, the firm purchased all the rights to Magna-Bond.
Magna-Bond marine metallic coatings, which were widely used for many years and gave excellent results, are available in two color tints for film identification. They are a one-package blend of vinyl copolymers with fortifiers and filled with atomized aluminum powder.
Magna-Bond marine decorative coating is also a one-package, high solid content blend of vinyl copolymers with fortifying resins and pigmented with chemical and weather resistant pigments.
Plasma Chemical Systems does not plan to have distributors, but rather intends to maintain its own direct sales force and work through local representatives. Two such representatives have agreed to handle the Magna-Bond line. They are Magnabond Sales Corp., 82 Beaver Street, New York, N.Y., and Varn and Brower Company of Tampa, Fla. Additional representative agreements in southern and western areas are presently being considered.
