Protection For Grain Bins Studies at Purdue University, Lafayette, In diana, indicate that metal grain bins can be suc cessfully protected from the corrosive elements of chemical grain preservers through the proper use of specially developed coatings. Chemical corrosion is a major point of concern to farmers contemplating the use of chemical preser vatives, according to Bruce A. McKenzie, Professor of Agricultural Engineering at Purdue. However, he commented, it appears that Before I Talked to Big Dutchman, I Was a Range Hog Producer HERSHEY EQUIPMENT Co., Inc. 215 Diller Avenue iijiri-mir,. «. «ia A W*tr certain new coatings, properly applied, can prevent damage to metal grain storage structures from acid corrosion. At one of the Purdue Research Farms, four coating materials were applied to different sections of a galvanized steel grain bin last fall. High-moisture grain treated with propionic acid was then stored in the bm throughout the winter and removed by June of 1974. Visual comparisons of the various coatings indicated that INTERCHLOR, a material manufactured by Phone (717) 354-51680 r (717) 872-5111 AUTHORIZED Blq Dutchman * DISTRIBUTOR International Paint Com pany, performed best in preventing corrosion problems. “Under the particular set of circumstances with which we worked, it appears that INTERCHLOR performed very well, “Mr, McKenzie said. “Other materials met with varying degrees of success,” he added.

The material is used by manufacturers of chemical grain preserver application equipment to prevent corrosion to augers and applicator units, ac cording to Robert Doyle, technical manager for In ternational Paint. Mr. Doyle stated that INTERCHLOR was especially developed in anticipation of increased use of chemical grain preservers by farmers and livestock feeders. International Paint, a major manufacturer of marine and industrial paints, screened a number of coatings in its search for the best material for this pur pose. In laboratory and field trials, INTERCHLOR outperformed all other coatings tested in terms of corrosion, abrasion, moisture and acid resistance and simplicity of ap plication, Mr. Doyle ex plained. handles all types of silage! with (our sue* -12' to 16’, IS’ to 20'J 20' to 24' and the BIG ones 24' to 30’m diameter 1 See your PATZ Dealer today CALL 717-272-0871 MARVIN J.
