CHEMAGINATION FROM HOOKER
Ml 1. TRIGGER A PROFIT with an alkyl acid phosphate that cata lyzes surface finish curing at lower temperatures for extra hardness and durability. Other such active phosphates go into rust preventives, textile lubricants and anti-static agents, and extraction solvents for exotic ores. 2 . MAKE THINGS SPIN at lower cost with phenolic. Mold a sturdy pulley that saves machining, won't pit or rust, runs true for years. Or reinforce phenolic with glass fibers to form a gear with 3 times the life and 60% less cost than a metal one. Many such appli cations of Durez® Plastics Division's versatile molding compounds are cutting industry's costs. 3 . TAME HARD WATER Minute amounts of a complex phos phate tie up scale-forming free ions—prevent scale deposits that choke vital water lines. Related inorganic phosphates, created with searing furnace heat by our Phosphorus Division, provide other watertreatment benefits for industry and communities alike. 18
