PEOPLE
Carol Honored by AOAC Jonas Carol, deputy director of the division of pharmaceutical chemistry at Food and Drug Administration, has been named to receive the 1960 Harvey W. Wiley Award of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists. The award was established in 1956 to honor the father of the original Pure Food and Drug law and a founder of the association. It consists of $500 and is presented to a scientist who has made outstanding contribution to the development of methods for analysis of food, drugs, cosmetics, feeds, fertilizers, or pesticides, or for use in general analytical chemistry.
Drechsel Elected Erhart K. Drechsel, associate director of development for Texas Butadiene & Chemical, has been elected president of the Chemical Industry Association. Other new officers are Richard S. Mooney, director of sales development at Continental Oil, vice president; James C. French, manager of market research, polychemicals department, Texas Butadiene & Chemical, treasurer; and Paul H. Grady of petroleum chemicals department of Mobil Oil, secretary.

HALF SECOND
NEW BUTYRATE/RESIN PRODUCE SUPERIOR COMBINATIONS COATINGS Half-Second Butyrate has become widely accepted among lacquer formulators as a major film-forming material. Coatings based on it are noted for their low color, nonyellowing characteristics, toughness, flexibility, outdoor durability and high gloss. Now even greater advantage can be taken of these properties. For recent work has shown that a number of important resins not generally considered in the formulation of Butyrate coatings can in fact be combined with HalfSecond Butyrate to produce finishes of outstanding performance. In many of these finishes, Half-Second Butyrate serves as a modifying resin; in others, it is the basic film-former. In either case, the combination results in coatings whose properties are significantly superior to those obtainable from either resin alone. The characteristics of a number of these combinations are described here. HSB/AminO Amino resins modified with Half-Second Butyrate produce lacquers of increased toughness, improved sprayability and flow-out, more rapid air-dry and outstanding weather resistance. Half-Second Butyrate modified with amino resins, on the other hand, offers improved adhesion and abrasion resistance, and increased heat and solvent resistance. In both cases, the amino resins crosslink with the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose acetate butyrate molecule.
HSB/Epoxy Epoxy resins of low molecular weight are used to modify Half-Second Butyrate to produce coatings with improved adhesion. In epoxy-butyrate-amino formulations, the epoxy resin acts to stabilize the system, increasing its storage stability significantly. Such formulations exhibit great toughness and flexibility. HALF SECOND
HSB/PolyiirethanB Polyurethane systems show improved build and better flow characteristics with the addition of a Butyrate resin such as EAB-381-20. This resin has a higher viscosity than has Half-Second Butyrate. HSB/SiliCOne Silicone resins, when added to Half-Second Butyrate formulations, further improve their outdoor durability and high gloss retention characteristics. HSB/AcryliC Acrylic resins, in c o m b i n a t i o n with HalfSecond Butyrate, show improved film performance in several ways over formulations based on acrylics alone. Use of Half-Second Butyrate builds solids content, improves sprayability, and imparts better solvent release characteristics. In addition, the coating is tougher and shows better weather resistance and gloss retention. The excellent adhesion and alkali resistance of Butyrate-acrylic formulations suggests their use on exterior structural aluminum. HSB/Maleated Vinyl Maleated vinyl resins may be used— and only relatively small amounts are required—to improve the initial toughness and adhesion of Butyrate-acrylic films.
HSB/Oil-free alkyds ou-i ree alkyds,
when incorporated in Half-Second Butyrate formulations, serve to improve adhesion and toughness.
HSB/Myester
Polyester resins can be modified with up to 15% Half-Second Butyrate. The addition of Butyrate resins promotes leveling and brings about a sharp reduction in tack-free time. The results of these studies of Butyrate/Resin combinations are discussed in detail in Eastman's " F o r m u l a t o r ' s Notes 0.3? 9 Starting formulations are included.

The book documents why chemical and biological weapons now must be regarded as nearly on a par with nuclear weapons and stresses what defenses should be in the hands of every citizen for his personal protection and why a protected citizenry will be a major factor in preventing such agents ever being used. The book includes a point by point comparison between chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons; a detailed description of the chemical and biological threat; the medical problems involved in protecting citizens; the individual and collective protection for individuals, companies, institutions, and communities; a detailed discussion of chemical and biological early warning and detection problems; the research still needed to protect individuals from these agents; and detailed, nontechnical discussions of why individuals should be aware of such threats and what they can do about it. 100 pages—paper bound—$2.00 per copy bulk rates on request order

Can't get enough rosin? Why not investigate acid-refined UNITOL as an alternate source? Most acid-refined grades of UNITOL tall oil contain substantial amounts of rosin acids and are available, in this form, at approximately half the price of rosin. By taking advantage of this high rosin acids content and low cost, many enterprising manufacturers are saving money and softening the impact of the current rosin shortage at the same time. There are numerous chemical processing operations where fatty acids as well as rosin are essential parts of the formulation. There are others where rosin is the principal ingredient but where some fatty acids can be tolerated. Acid-refined UNITOL can have application in both these areas. It often provides substantial savings. And since acid-refined UNITOL is in a convenient liquid form, your in-plant handling problems are simplified as well. Why not look into acid-refined UNITOL now?

ALIPAL
®
No. 1 surfactant for high, stable foam
What does it take to win first place? Usually, a lot! And Alipal anionic surfactants offer a lot to liquid detergents: good cleansing power, high wetting strength, easy emulsification, economical price — all in combination with high foaming ability. Alipal formulations are also distinguished by easy rinsing and improved drainage characteristics, mildness of odor and gentleness to the skin. Alipal CO-433 is employed especially in industrial applications requiring stability to alkali. It is useful as an emulsifier for latex polymerizations and petroleum waxes, as a wetting agent in the processing of textiles and of metals, an antistatic agent for plastic materials, and in other operations.
ANTARA®
Alipal CO-436 is used principally in detergents for dishes and light laundry, and in household cleaners for rugs and hard, waxed surfaces. Also in bubble baths and hair shampoos. Chemists must be able to rely on the complete standardization and purity of the components they use — and they can when the label reads "Antara"! Purchasing Departments, too, find Antara's product line attractive because it is so broad. You get extra convenience and economy when you supply all of your chemical needs from a single source. Shipments are made promptly from distribution points located nationally — by tank car, tank truck, drum or even smaller containers. Write or call any Antara office for samples, information, and technical assistance.

ASCO O-RING STANDARD TAPER CONICAL JOINTS The first major improvement in jointed glassware since the original design. It is now possible to construct glass apparatus which is leakproof at high vacuums (up to 1 x 10-8 mm. Hg.). These joints will permit a new standard of cleanliness within a glassware system by eliminating the need for high-vacuum greases, and also permit freedom from atmospheric contamination of the system. The rubber O-ring is protected from attacking solvents by the ground tapered surface of the joint. • Highest quality borosilicate glass construction • Fusible and compatible with pyrex and other borosilicate glass tubing • Reduces expensive breakage • Economical • Rubber O-ring may be removed ASCO-SEAL, O - R I N G , inner joint only Taper 1I 10/30 | 12/30 11 14/35 I 19/38 |1 24/40 1I 29/42 24 24 24 24 24 Case 11 23.33 1 26.35 1 1 28.94 1 30.52 |I 33.26 || 36.07 34/45 || 40/50 | 45/50 11 50/50 | 55/50 11 60/50 11 71/60 " 12 12 12 8 8 8 8 22.46 I1 27.111 33.80 |1 24.77 J 28.15 1[ 32.33 39,38
