f l # f c ^ ^% MmmmWm m mm m1'^ Mm demands,manufacturers every year are making larger and wilder slides. This creates some difficult challenges, as constant exposure to water, chemicals, UV degradation and friction all take their toll. That's why Whitewater, a major manufacturer of waterslides, began using isopolyester resin, a plastic based on isophthalic acid supplied by Amoco Chemical Company. They've found it helped their slides to be extremely durable, resisting dangerous blistering and laminate deterioration. Every year, Amoco Chemical produces more than $4 billion of quality petrochemical-based products for customers in such varied fields as packaging, electronics, sporting goods and hightech. And our goal is always the same: customer satisfaction.
