ASP 4 0 0 A SUPERIOR FOR EXTERIOR
MCP's ASP 400 aluminum silicate pigment extender has proven superior for use in formulations for exterior protective coatings. The test fences shown above are located at MCP's Menlo Park, N. J. Research Center. In the tests conducted, paints formulated with ASP 400 showed consistent high ratings for general appearance, gloss, chalking, checking, cracking, dirt collection, mildew, and flaking. Observation and recording of results were according to procedures established by the Federation of Societies for Paint Technology in conjunction with ASTM. All pertinent data concerning ASP 400, the other ASP's, and all MCP products used in Paint making, havebeen collected and condensed into technical data brochures. // you would like copies, check the coupon.

L u S o I I . . . a natural soil conditioner A new product from MCP Research, now in commercial production, is LuSoil, a natural soil conditioner that has the unique properties of being able to even out the water demands of all types of soil and at the same time lighten and condition soil for maximum root growth of grasses. LuSoil is recommended for golf greens, athletic fields and other critical turf areas . . . it also is an excellent addition to green house beds and to potting soil mixtures. LuSoil's ability to remain in its own granular form without breaking down enables it to provide long-life soil conditioning.
In addition to exterior test fence work, MCP Research also investigates every type of paint weathering . . . salt-spray, blister-resistance, and, shown above, weatherometer testing. The results of years of exhaustive testing prove that exterior water thinnable paints for wood and masonry weather best with MCP extenders. Investigation of all factors which influence paint durability have proven that ASP 400 is the preferred extender for all water thinnable paints. Our research staff is at your service to prepare recommendations for all these systems. Use the coupon or call us for further information.
