INTERCOASTAL PAINT - 1934

Intercoastal Paint, located at 1248 Walnut, manufactures paint used only for industrial purposes. Almost every batch is for a special application and must be developed and tested in the laboratory before production starts. Several interesting applications at the plant have been worked out for the auto industry. Intercoastal developed a heavy paint to be applied on body panels to eliminate the annoying metallic "ring" caused by jars and vibrations, In another instance they developed a chassis paint that dried in twelve minutes to allow for speedy production.

Also, the Corporation developed a product to reduce the cost of rust and scale removal from ship hulls. This product loosens the scale by chemical action to such an extent that it drops off in huge layers. Each particular paint is first made up in the laboratory.
