CRYSTAL UREA helps turn wroocf waste into building board

I n making this new building material, wood waste is bonded with a urea-formal­dehyde adhesive and molded into panels under hea t and pressure. Y o u can nail these panels, p u t screws in them, cut t h e m with saws. They have a high insulating value, great s tructural s t rength and are resistant to both moisture and fire. Ad-hesives made with Urea are low in cost. They resist mold, fungus a n d water and are nonvolatile. They set rapidly a t low temperatures and pressures.

Crystal Urea 's properties make i t a val­uable chemical for other industries, too— for example, in pharmaceuticals, finishes, and explosives. And they suggest many new applications. A few possibilities are: as a stabilizer for cellulosic and vinyl plas­tics, as an intermediate for cosmetics prep­aration and in fire-resistant electrical in­sulation.

Your business may find opportunities for profitable future use in D u P o n t Crys­tal Urea . . . or in many of the other Poly-chemicals products . There are more than 100 of them—organic acids , amides, alco­hols, ammonia, esters, resins, solvents and plastics.

Although demand for many of these products now exceeds supply , we will glad­ly discuss the availability of experimental quant i t ies for developmental work.

Write for technical booklet on Polyçhemicals products for your industry

Technical bulletins o n Crystal Urea and the chemicals and plastics used in your industry are available. Each product bulletin in the booklet presents physical and chemical proper­ties, description, specifications, uses and possible applications, bibliography and other data. Write us on your business letter­head for your copy—and please tell u s the name of your industry.
