Who's for going onward and upward with

poîyureîh iGnes a l k y d resins waxes anti-rust addit ives greases defoamers?

tô#

W e m a y have something for you.

iiîic diols of hi^h/nolî Wc make iipopliiiic diois oi high yrnciccuiar wcignt. We make them by t h e ^ n k ca^/from a wide variety of raw materials—

fully saturated to fully unsaturated. They're purified by molecular dis­tillation to contain over 9 0 % glycerol monoesters of fatty acids.

The high monoester content and high purity of these distilled mono-gîycerides suggest some challenging possibilities. Such as: Reactants

• With diisocyanates to make polyurethanes of unusual structure and properties.

• With phthaiic anhydride to make alkyd resins free of chains termi­nated by diglycerides or diluted by nonreactive triglycerides.

• With esterifying, hydroxylating, oxyethylating agents.

Solubilizers • A distilled monoglyceride is one fat which will dissolve water! When

blended with other oils the mixtures also dissolve water and many* aqueous solutions. Some applications of this result in anti-rust and carburetor de-icing properties.

Consistency Controllers • The viscosity of many polymer dispersions can be reduced amazingly

by small additions of distilled monoglycerides. An outstanding ex­ample is tha t of alkyd resins in odorless thinner.

• Greases made with monoglycerides show stable consistency over a broad temperature range. The solids-liquids ratio usually remains constant from about 10 C below the melting point of the mono­glyceride down to the clouding point of the oil. The resultant greases contain no ash or inorganic material.

Surface Modif iers • Foam control, wax emulsifying—or something we haven't yet

thought of£

Is there a market here? You may know. For samples of these mono­glycerides and a full discussion of what we know of their properties, write îyisîiiïation Products Industries, Rochester 3, Ν. Υ. Sales offices: New York and Chicago * W. ΐνί. Gillies, Inc., Albert Smith Limited, Montreal and Toronto.

Want explosive disintegration7

You use Kelacid (highly ref ined alginicacid) plus a carbonate material.

Want a tablet o f high mechanical strength? Kelcoso! (fibrous sodium alginate) is the effective binder that produces high mechanical strength tablets, reduces capping.

Want rapid disintegration? Use Kelacid alone.

Want an effective binder and excellent disintegrator? Use Keltose (ammonium-calcium alginate).

Mr tablets that behave exactly as yeu want, ALGIN PRODUCTS may prove your answer

YOURS ON REQUEST: Free samples of KELACID, KELTOSE, and KELCOSOL plus Technical Bulletin fully describing the use of these unique and valuable algin products in tablet making.
