FAST AIR-DRY RESIN CUTS PAINT JOB REJECTS From A D M comes a pure alkyd resin that air-dries tackfree with the speed of lacquer. Yet, a resin with performance —durability, gloss retention, and mar and solvent resistance —that equals or excels alkydmelamine baking enamels. Says auto refinishing king, Earl Scheib, Los Angeles, whose nationwide system of shops repaint nearly half a million cars a year: "AROPLAZ 6006 enables us to reduce drying time 15 minutes on the average. Rejects and returns caused by water spotting, dust pick up, or paint failure have been virtually eliminated." Used straight, or blended with other alkyds, remarkably compatible AROPLAZ 6006 is also cutting costs and solving problems in a host of other fast air-dry and quick bake industrial applications: toys, tractors, heavy machinery, lawn mowers, and garden furniture. It's typical of the new products ADM creates for the protective coating industry.
New ADM Adogen furfuryl quats are triple-threat bacteriostats ADM's new family of Adogen furfuryl quaternaries combines three features ideal for industrial bacteriostats : germicidal effectiveness . . . exceptional solubility in saline or hard water . . . and much lower cost. Through unique processing, ADM can produce a series of bacteriostatic quats with a wide variety of special properties. Adogen 446, for example, is a dimethyl hydrogenated-tallow furfuryl quaternary that's highly effective against Desulfovibrio and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. It meets sanitizing requirements for hotel, bar and restaurant sanitizers... is promising for bottle washes, floor sanitizers, and industrial water treatment. ADM also has new cotton-seed and coco furfuryl quats with special bactericidal effectiveness. These are available in development quantities. QUATS FOR TEXTILE SOFTENERS TOO. ADM's remarkable quaternaries improve textile softeners too. New Adogen 442 leaves less residual odor on fabrics, offers whiter color, and is non-toxic. All at no extra cost. BEADED AMIDES. Lighter color and excellent storage stability already distinguish ADM's fatty amides. Now ADM offers another vital advantage: stearyl and hydrogenated tallow amides beaded for fast, easy handling. This new, uniform, non-dusting form pours freely and is one more good reason to use ADM's versatile amides in everything from waxes to printing inks. HIGHER PURITY AMINES. More highest quality technical amine for your dollar. That's what you get with ADM's 90% primary amine content Adogen fatty nitrogens. This new level of purity is available in all of ADM's technical primary amines. You get fewer reaction by products to hamper formulations, almost total freedom from amides, greater functionality, and better reaction yields per pound. Yes, rely on ADM for new developments in fatty nitrogen chemistry. Developments that will save you time, money, and improve your product quality. Basic in the production of fats and oils and their derivatives, ADM uses gas chromatography and unique produc-
tion techniques to assure you highest quality chemicals. ADM's new, multi-million dollar Chemical Center will include expanded facilities for producing fatty nitrogen chemicals to better serve all your needs.
ADM's water-white oleyI alcohol is clearly superior for 101 uses As an intermediate for anti-static agents in synthetic fiber production . . . color dispersants in textiles . . . wetting agents in inks . . . anti-foaming agents in petroleum refining . . . or synthetic detergents, ADM's versatile, high quality Adol 32 can't be beat. This straight chain unsaturated monohydric oleyl alcohol is virtually water-white. It offers low viscosity, low cloud point, and high chemical reactivity. Chemical reactive groups include one double bond and one hydroxyl group. Adol 32 is soluble in most solvents and non-corrosive. Adol 32 can be sulphated, ethoxylated, or phosphated for wide variety of industrial applications. In addition to the uses listed above, it is ideal for chemical intermediates, surfactants, soaps, germicides, emulsifiers, resins, plasticizers, and lubricant additives. p M i — M — m m

T h e R e s e a r c h Chemists' Corner A whale of a new derivative! From the sea of chemistry comes a new derivative as unique and powerful as its source: the sperm whale. Methylated sperm oil. With this ADM development, you may solve tough metal wetting and incompatibility problems in the manufacture of lubricants. Free of triglycerides, methylated sperm provides by far the most economical source of mono-hydric alcohol esters. Here is a remarkable new oil with a natural surface tension in the range of good synthetic detergents—27 to 28 dynes compared with 38 dynes for sperm oil. It is ideal for use with lubricants and their additives, where it tends to hold sludge in suspension and provides resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Methylated sperm also possesses viscosity improver properties. Use it as is, or sulfurize for super E.P. properties.
