AMOCO IS GIVING AN OLD

Start with the old idea of a slide. Give it a few twists and turns. Now add water. What you end up with is one of the fastest growing recreational industries in the world, lb meet consumer 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 jnanufacturer 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 high, %.I, tech. And our goal is always the same: ,/ .'* customer satisfaction. „, . \' Formore information on f : hpw we've helped other: i < > edmpanies produce / - j v J \ refreshlag.nev^produjct?, write 1 An^qpa^^BrJl^t Gc^pan^ C
