Stratica™ Deck Tile
Problem: Current shipboard deck tile is not rugged and requires a continuous effort to keep clean and polished. This effort represents a huge daily drain on manpower and is a true sailor morale issue. Solution: Stratica™ is a commercially available decking material that is extremely tough and requires no waxing or buffing. Only daily damp mopping is required. MTTC, Navy and CES, Inc., developed and proofed the installation procedures that must be followed to ensure a quality product. NAVY POC:
