A TEGO-BONDED AIRPLANE IS BORN
THIS ROLL of translucent paper is TEGO Resin Film. Called a "plastic" by some and a "glue" by others, TEGO is actually a special phenol formaldehyde type resin adhesive. Introduced in 1935, TEGO launched plywood on its career as a structural material for airplanes, boats, truck bodies, houses.
INTERLEAVING TEGO between veneers is the first step in making TEGO-bonded plywood- This operation consists of placing pre-dimensioned TEGO sheets between wafer-thin wood veneers. As a dry film, TEGO introduces no "glue water'' into the panel, permitting rigid control of gluing conditions.

THIS "HOT" PRESS fuses TEGO and wood into plywood that is weight-for-weight stronger than steel—completely waterproof, weather-proof and fungus-proof. TEGO revolutionized the manufacture of plywood by cutting down the time required to make plywood from hours to minutes.
TEGO The phenolic film that revolutionized the production and use of plywood,
UFORMITE FINISHED AIRPLANE SECTION in 20 minutes is made by molding TEGO-bonded plywood over forms. This curving is done by the aircraft manufacturer from flat plywood supplied by subcontractors. By using TEGO bonded plywood, many firms never before associated with aviation are now making aircraft sub-assemblies.

Applications
SYNTH5TIC COATING RESINS for every purpose—wood, metal, rubber, paper, textile are but five of the many classes of products which are today more serviceable because this Company developed synthetic coating resins to improve them. Beginning in 1926 with AMBEROL, which paved the way for the modern quick-drying varnishes, this Company has worked continuously on synthetic resin coating problems.
STRONGER THAN STEEL WINGS and fuselages made of TEGO-bonded plywood are today standard on scores of different airplanes from training planes t o cargo transports. Plywood bonded with TEGO Resin Film is the accepted standard for aeronautical plywood meeting the rigid U. S. Army and Navy Specifications-

A group of hot and cold setting resin urea formaldehyde adhesives. UFORMITE CB-551 meets all Government cold-setting aeronautical plyivood specifications.
AMBERLITE A group of phenolic resin adhesives loidely employed in the manufacture of Douglas Fir Plywood products and rubber bag molded plyivood.
PRODUCTS & CHEMICAL
SYNTHETIC ION EXCHANGE RESINS — a group of synthetic resins that produce salt-free water, purify chemicals, recover metals from solution, and help increase production of synthetic rubber is now available through the Company. Introduced less than two years ago, AIMBERLITE ion exchange resins have already found many applications in diversified processes where highly purified water is required.
COMPANY
MODIFIERS AND PLASTiciZERS for natural and synthetic rubber—natural rubber and nearly all the vitally needed synthetic rubbers work faster and better when they are plasticized, or "softened" during processing. Synthetic resins which perform this function of "softening" synthetic rubbers, especially in the case of buna types, are recent developments of The Resinous Products and Chemical Company.
