Low cost monomers from basic raw materials and process improvements Rohm & Haas has led the field in mak­ing acrylic monomers readily available — and at continually decreasing prices. How?—through leadership in acrylic research and process development . For example, we developed economical proc­esses for the synthesis of the acryla te monomers, then established means of securing impor tant intermediates from basic raw materials. Multimillion dollar new plant facilities at Houston, Texas use natural gas and air to produce am­monia, hydrogen cyanide, acetylene, carbon monoxide, and methanol . The diagram a t left illustrates the synthesis of acetylene and subsequent formation of aery kites. Likewise, some of the intermediates mentioned are used in

the R o h m & Haa_s process for mak­ing methacrylates.

What does o u r 25 years o f experience mean t o y o u ? — T h e widest range of commercially available acry la te and methacryla te monomers— sound tech­nical advice on t l ie i r t ranspor ta t ion , storage, and handling—and a record of continually lowered p r i ces ; for ex­ample, the price o f ethyl acrylate has been reduced over 30 percen t during the past 6 years. T h e s e R o h m & Haas acrylic monomers c a n increase the use­fulness of your products b y contribut­ing importan t advantages through direct polymerization or copo lymer ization with other monomers.
