THE SMOKE GOES
UP THE CHIMNEY... JUST THE S A M E !
T H E INTERNATIONAL NICKEL COMPANY OF CANADA, LIMITED BEATS TOUGH CORROSION CONDITION This 554-foot chimney was built* in 1936 for International Nickel of Canada to handle gases from copper reverberatories and converters. Now, after ten tough years, the smoke goes up this chimney just the same as the day the stack was built! TEN YEARS WITHOUT REPAIR The gases contain SO2 with moisture content slightly above atmospheric humidity. Despite this corrosive condition, up to the present time no repairs have been made to this stack, and no evidence of deterioration has been noticed. HERE'S WHY: The entire lining of this stack was built with acid-proof brick laid in
Penchlor Acid-Proof Cement.** In addition the top fifty feet of this stack was further protected by using Penchlor Acid-Proof Cement for pointing the outside surface joints. Penchlor Acid-Proof Cement is a superior sodium silicate cement that is quick-setting and selfhardening. Its outstanding record of satisfactory service has been proved in chemical plants, steel mills, paper and pulp mills, oil refineries and smelting plants. SEND FOR CASE REPORT If you have a corrosion problem, you'll be interested in further details about this Penchlor installation, as well as an illustrated brochure on Penchlor. Write for Case Report Number 68-3.
