rijAiiX 11*1-5 I-.AH1KI I romin^ soon . . . the West Coast's first plant for the production of Coal-Tar Enamels At Fontana, California, Koppers is building a new, modern plant for the production of Bitumastic En amels, the Coal-Tar Base Coatings which have been famous for nearly a century for protecting under ground and underwater metal sur faces from corrosion. This plant, which will also produce Koppers Roofing Pitch, will be the first such plant to be located west of the Rocky Mountains. From it, Koppers will be able to provide improved service to West Coast users of Bitumastic Enamels. Bitumastic Enamels are the tough coatings that are used to protect buried oil and gas pipe lines against severe corrosive elements. Largediameter steel water pipe lines also are protected, both inside and out, by Bitumastic Enamel. On the in side of the pipe, this enamel is ap plied in a smooth lining that keeps flow capacity high and reduces pumping costs. Processed from a base of Coal-Tar Pitch, Bitumastic Enamels are im pervious to moisture and are chemi cally resistant to soil elements. They make a tight bond with pipe and other metal surfaces, do not disin tegrate with age, and maintain con tinuously high electrical resistance. For information on delivery' of Bitumastic Enamels ... on the West Coast or elsewhere in the United States . . . we invite you to get in touch with us. 2 S THE OIL AND GAS JOURNAL
