CATO UNTREATED STARfcH

Simple iodine test demonstrates the strong affinity of Cato cationic starches for anionic surfaces.

Both yarns were first soaked in very dilute starch solutions of equal concentration. The yarn at the left in a Cato solution, the one on the right in corn starch solution.

Staining with iodine proved that the Cato starch was absorbed in the yarn while the corn starch had negligible affinity.

This simple test demonstrates the unique ability of Cato starches to attach themselves to anionic sites.

Cato is National's name for a family of chemically modified starches which have a strong posi­tive charge and exhibit a powerful affinity for negatively charged mate­rials such as the anionic yarn shown in the illustration.

Cato is also strongly attracted to many non-cellulosic materials.

Cato adheres exceptionally well to impervious anionic surfaces like glass, porcelain and many forms of

ceramic vitreous enamel. In fact, Cato cannot be removed from some of these surfaces except by degrada­tion with acid, burning and the like.

Interested? Can you use Cato in your industry? Write National Starch and Chemical Corporation, 750 Third Ave., New York, Ν. Υ. 10017. Toronto and Montreal, Canada. Roquette-National Chi­mie, Lille, France, Laing-National Ltd., Manchester, England.

that eat away other materials

When you need pipe that can carry corro­sive materials where temperatures are a bit too high for PVC. consider hi-temp Geon vinyl. It keeps dimensional stability at elevated temperatures and impact strength at low temperatures.

REGoodrich

Pipe made of hi-temp Geon vinyl (PVDC) offers excellent resistance to corrosion. Its low thermal conductivity keeps hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold. Assembly on the job site is easy because of solvent welding (no threading).

For that extra tough piping job, learn about hi-temp Geon vinyl. Write B.F.Good­rich Chemical Company.Department HO!6 , 3135 Euclid Ave.. Cleve­land. Ohio 44115. In Can­ada: Kitchener, Ontario.

When INC0L0YaUoy800 tubing is on the job

...ethylene units stay on the job.

Even after long exposure to elevated temperatures and corrosives, INCOLOY" alloy 800 retains its ductility and strength. It resists corrosion... oxidation up to 2000 °F.... carburization... sulfur attack. And it is immune to "sigma phase" embrittlement in the critical 1100-1600 °F. range. Hard to believe? Until 1954, maintenance costs and loss of production due to downtime were extremely high for U. S. Industrial Chemical's Tuscola, Illinois ethylene plant. Then they installed INCOLOY alloy 800 furnace tubes. Average service life of the tubes? Five years where operating demands were the toughest. Average annual savings on maintenance and downtime? In the hundred thousands of dollars. Find out all the facts on INCOLOY alloy 800 for high temperature ethylene operations.
