Aristech data on hull

[tcollins2]

Hi, I was in the back of the boat near the port rudder box on my 12M Express and I noticed some peeling paint. When I removed the loose parts I found some numbers and a manufacturer name called Aristech. Any useful information here? Part of the manufacturing process tracking? Just curious. Tom

I have something similar on the underside of my cockpit floor in the engine room. I'll see if it says the same for my 10m.

I assume it refers to a component of the boat , maybe even the f glass . there is a Aristech chemical co. in PA and a Aristech acrylic co.

FWIW there are more the one Aristech companies but the one list above could be the one or the chemical company .




Small fact back when Trojan first started F glass they work with a bath tub company .
