I N T E R M E D I A T E S FOR DYESTUFFS: one of many uses for methylamines

Rohm & Haas monomethylamine, dimethyl-amine, and trimethylamine are good, low-cost sources of basic organic nitrogen. These amines can be used as intermediates for many different products, including dyestuffs, pesticides, quaternary disinfectants, pharma­ceuticals, photographic developers, rubber-vulcanization accelerators, and surfactants.

All three amines are available in both aqueous and anhydrous form in drums, tankcars, or cylinders. Volume production in two sepa­rate plants provides continuous availability.

T" high quality and purity of Rohm & Haas methylamines reflect more than 20 years' experience in their production.

PRE-TEST Your Production Blending

In The Lob Unique design of |»-lc twin shell blenders allows exact

scale-up of lab tests to production runs

Here's the one piece of blending equip­ment that has everything: a mixing action that blends most materials perfectly in 3 to 5 minutes . . . large access openings and smooth baffle-free interiors for fast and easy charging, discharging and clean­ing . . . interchangeable shells and acces­sories that give exceptional versatility . . . and . . . a unique, patented design that provides identical mixing results ia all sizes, from one pint lab models up to 500 cu. ft. production units.

.·. |»Jc cwin shell lab blenders are used for small production runs as well as research i n hundreds of plants. Priced low and available from stock. Dust-tight, corrosion and abrasion-resistant Lucite shells are standard. Also available in stainless steel. L i g h t w e i g h t cast a l u m i n u m base has sturdy grey crackle finish, adjusts for 4 and 8 quart shells and yokes. G.E. motor i s 1/20 H P , single phase, 115 volts, 60 cycle, AC. Chain guard furnished.

Yoke Model holds two 1-quart or 1-pint shells, or one of e a c h , or one 2-quart shell w i th e i t h e r , or a d a p t s into a standard 4 or 8 quart blender. Handles two jobs at once.
