BECCO
research brings PROGRESS IN
Beccp .research, service and manufacturing facilities are deVoted primarily to the industrial application of hydrogen peroxide and other peroxygen chemicals. Latest "first" in Becco's long history of peroxygen chemical leadership is the commercial production of anhydrous hydrogen peroxide, an attainment long considered impossible. Textiles, pulp and paper, synthetic organic chemicals, food, plastics, detergents and cosmetics are only a few of the many fields in which Becco Peroxygen Chemicals and Becco patented processes are contributing to industry. Of particular current interest are Becco epoxidation processes. One process produces epoxidized compounds of extremely low iodine number. Another is a catalyzed in situ process giving high yields at low cost and low investment. I t offers a choice of catalysts, among them ion exchange resins. So little catalyst may be used that it can be discarded economically after each run.. These flexible, fully proved processes are covered by pending and issued patents, available under license agreements to manufacturers. They are of particular interest in the making of resins, plasticizers and stabilizers, pharmaceuticals, insecticides, paints, varnishes, lubricants and organic chemicals. Send for complete information on these Becco processes and for a. list of Becco's technical bulletins. If you have a problem in the application of hydrogen peroxide or other peroxygen chemicals, Becco's technically-trained field men are at your service.
