The many uses of Plastics Aboard Ship

Abstract

IN THE PAST decade the use of man‐made polymers—plastics—in marine engineering and shipbuilding has increased so greatly that today they are used for boats, hatch covers, sonar domes, electrical conduit, weather shields and even propellers; to these applications may be added plastic gear wheels, ropes, anti‐corrosive coatings, anode shields, adhesives, decorative panels and components of furnishings. This list is by no means complete, and because of the versatility of the materials, items are added to it almost daily.
