Solvatochromic Investigation of Polarlzable Polymeric Liquids 278
THE FORCE IN CRITICAL CLEANING • Laboratories · Hospitals - R & D Facilities · Educational Institutions · Genera! Industry · Electronics • Dairy & Food Processing Modern sciences and industries are discovering aque ous cleaning to be efficient and safe. ALCONOX detergents clean without noxious fumes or harsh, dangerous acids or solvents. ALCONOX de tergents are concentrated, to be diluted for conve nience and economy. ALCONOX detergents remove difficult sous on glass, plastic metals, rubber, porcelains, and most hardsurface materials, without leaving film or residue. ALCONOX detergents complement virtually every aqueous cleaning method or system, either manual or machine, ALCONOX detergents: the force in critical cleaning for today's technologies.
