Dependable sealing from reliable, durable gaskets is crucial in
protecting the crew, the marine environment, and shipboard
AMERINE™ CFR JOINTING
equipment from the potential hazards associated with leaking pipes
and pump casings. Drew Marine’s sheet jointings are designed to
provide this reliability, with a selection that allows you to choose
what works best for your vessel.

Constructed using the most current technologies and materials,

our three AMERINE jointing products cover the full range of typical
shipboard gasketing applications. Substituting man-made fibers,
selected for their health and safety benefits, each is manufactured
in the same manner as compressed asbestos, which was the long-
time industry standard. Our products have the same compressibility
and density. However, they also have more advanced properties,
including greater recoverability,and none of the hazards associated
with asbestos.

For certain general-service applications, some operators prefer

jointings made from familiar materials that have been traditionally
used. Look to Drew Marine to deliver cost-effective, conventional
jointings featuring the best-quality materials for each construction.
