SO
far! The range of industries served by Methocel (Dow nietliyIrelluIo.se) is both extremely large and diverse. In lhe formulation of adhesives, the excellent film properties of Methocel impart strength and flexibility t o the adhesive layer. As an emulsion stabilizer. Methocel serves the latex industry which in turn is making giant contributions to the paint, paper, textile and other fields. In the agricultural field, MethoceFs foremost use is for "seed sticking," binding seed protectants effectively t o the surface of the seed to eliminate hazardous dusting. Methocel serves in many ways to provide finer pharma ceuticals. An interesting example is its use as a suspend ing agent for barium sulphate in X-ray radiography. T h e superior suspension provided by Methocel makes possible X-ra\ photographs of much sharper definition than were ever before possible. The thickening properties of Methocel have been particularly valuable to the textile industry for ihe formulation of textile printing pastes. These \aiuable properties, combined as they are in one uniform, water-soluble gum, have brought the solution t o many production problems and made many new products possible. Methocel can do the same for you. THE DOW
