Palmer Products, Inc. of Worcester, Pa. recently introduced a tough one-part, non-skid deck coating free of organic solvents. Designated Durapox PM-1191, this coating meets OSHA requirements. PM-1191 consists of water base binder and abrasive particles. Soap and water can be used for the cleanup operation. No red label is required, and it is safe for use in confined areas.
PM-1191 is said to be economical to use, easy to apply by roller, and maintains excellent adhesion to most types of surfaces. It is resistant to water and chemicals whether the surface is dry, wet, or oily.
Another new product announced by Palmer is a marine hull-smoothing and repair compound named Redepox, which was developed specifically to meet the demanding needs of the marine industry. This fast-curing epoxy resin has excellent resistance to sea water and most chemicals.
Palmer Products provided the first approved paste repair resin to the U.S. Navy in 1956. Extensive use in marine and industrial applications over the past 25 years has provided the company with a proven background in epoxy resins development and use.
In filling pits and holes in ship hulls and rudders, Redepox trowels easily and feathers smoothly, thereby reducing machining time. It provides a smooth, spreadable consistency with non-sagging qualities; if required, it can be painted. A one-to-one hardener/resin ratio provides for simple on-site mixing and application.
