Skidaway Institute of Oceanography to test PRP anti-corrosion products on land and on sea.

Skidaway Institute of Oceanography to test PRP anti-corrosion products for offshore test equipment, underwater equipment, and land based equipment. Skidaway hopes to increase the life of its equipment that is currently susceptible to the corrosion caused by salt water. PRP Industries Corsol™ has proven its protection in high salt environments and expects Skidaway’s tests will confirm Corsols™ unique capabilities.

The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, a multidisciplinary research institution within the University System, is located on a 700 acre campus on Skidaway Island, 16 miles southeast of Savannah. The Institute sits on the banks of the Skidaway River, with access to a diverse range of estuarine and coastal habitats. Its remote pristine location, convenient to coastal and ocean waters, guarantees a constant influx of visiting scientists and students seeking access to state-of-the-art research facilities, accessible research locations, and opportunities for collaboration with Skidaway Institute's interdisciplinary and internationally-recognized research faculty.
