CURING of

furniture lacquers Furniture manufacturers who use V-C Acid Phosphates as catalysts for lacquer can cut curing temperatures to 140°F, or even lower! Resultant finishes are hard and t o u g h . . . have excellent coldcheck resistance... shrug off cigarette burns, alcohol spills and other solvents. In addition, V-C Acid Phosphates permit formulation at high solids, which makes it possible to finish with a minimum number of coats. V-C Acid Phosphates are strong organic acids which form useful salts with alkali and amines. Purity and lightness of color are outstanding. Solubilities change with chain length. Available as liquids and waxy solids. Types include Methyl, Ethyl, Butyl, Isooctyl, Phenyl, Octylphenyl, Stearyl, and Bis (2-ethylhexyl) Hydrogen Phosphate. FOR SAMPLES and more information on V-C Acid Phosphates as catalysts for wood finishes, write: Virginia-Carolina Chemical Corporation, 401 East Main Street, Richmond 8, Virginia.

The right adhesive helps any product on the road to market success... and for adhesive manufacturers success can start with Colton emulsions, beads, and resins. Colton offers a wide range of products, each available in a variety of grades, each tailored to meet specific formulation requirements. Colton supplies resins for adhesive compounding . . . not finished adhesives. Vinac (polyvinyl acetate homopolymer emulsions, beads and spray dried powder), Flexbond (copolymer emulsions and beads), and Vinol (polyvinyl alcohol) give formulators a choice of starting points for adhesives to suit specific end-uses. By starting with Vinac, Flexbond, or Vinol products you eliminate guesswork and needless production worry because Colton polymers meet high specifications. Colton starts with high quality monomers . . . production is controlled and strengthened every step of the way by Colton's years of knowledge and continuous research . . . and backing up the skills of Colton Chemical Company, a division of Air Reduction Co., Incorporated, are the basic research resources of Airco's Central Research Laboratories at Murray Hill, New Jersey.

The exceptional properties of United ultra pure graphite have made it widely favored for crucibles, boats, funnels and similar parts. United offers you graphite shapes purified by the famous " F " Process (developed by United for A E C ) . This means you receive shapes machined to precise dimensional tolerances — " F " Process purified after machining — and safeguarded by multiple quality control. Your own processes are therefore more reliable, your results more reproducible. If you are engaged in any work that demands the utmost reliability of ultra pure graphite shapes, contact us. Our R & D and technical service staffs are ready to serve you and will prove they can meet your "crash" delivery schedules. Write today for full details!
