Monsanto Chemical, St. Louis 4, Mo., increased its prices for feed grade dicalcium phosphates to $83.25 per ton for the 18.5% grade, and $94.50 for the 21%. Tom K. Smith, director of marketing, said increased production costs all along the line were factors in the advance.
American Potash and Chemical, Los Angeles 28, Calif., effective Feb. 1, made substantial price reductions in quantity lots of elemental boron ranging up t o 35% for quantities of 100 pounds or more. On the latter basis the new quotation is $13 per pound. Company said that the reductions are expected to stimulate new development work in numerous industrial applications.
Atlantic and Gulf, Red Sea, and Gulf of Aden Freight Conference announced a general increase in ocean freight rates effective May 15, 1956. The rate boost was attributed to increases in vessel operating expenses.
A MUST for your laboratory
Brookfield Helipath Stand
Non-flowing substances are no longer viscosity-measurement and control problems! The Brookfield Helipath Stand, coupled with your Brookfield Viscometer, actually makes it easy to test, study and control the viscosity of highly-plastic materials, gels and semi-gels.
Regardless of structure, the Brookfield Helipath Stand allows accurate viscosity measurement by automatically lowering a special bar-type spindle through the test material. Throughout its helical path, the spindle constantly measures undisturbed material. Precision engineered, quality manufactured, the Brookfield Helipath Stand is an instrument no laboratory should be without.
FREE! Write, wire or phone for your copy of Brookfield's fully-illustrated brochure.
NEW! Now, eight-speed viscometer models with α 200:1 ratio of maximum to minimum speed provide increased accuracy, sensitivity and flexibility. Write for descriptive literature.
