CHOOSE YOUR CHEMICAL DISTRIBUTOR THE WAY YOU SPECIFY YOUR CHEMICALS. VERY WISELY. I After all, both can improve your bottom line. A distributor matches his product availability to your production schedules. He coordinates warehousing, blending, drumming, LTL quantities and mixed load deliveries to meet your specific needs. His investment in facilities and product inventories can help cut your costs. Of course, we can't speak for other distributors, but Ashland has a special understanding of the distributor's role. Our Industrial Chemicals & Solvents Division is the nation's largest distributor of industrial chemicals and the local marketing partner of most leading chemical manufacturers. A distribution network such as ours provides a tremendous advantage to these manufacturers by keeping their products flowing to the thousands of LTL customers scattered throughout America. In turn, each IC&S distribution center is sensitive to local market needs and individual requirements. Because of our resources, we can offer you many unique services and advantages. • Reliability: Our 68 strategically located distribution centers serve more than 77,000 accounts. IC&S has 27 million gallons of bulk liquid storage and two million square feet of dry storage. On any given day we have some 2.5 million gallons in transit. Through thick and thin, we'll be there when you need us. • Technical Service: Our local distribution centers are supported by nine regional labs. All have access to Ashland's I extensive R&D complex in
Columbus, Ohio. This technical support network can be invaluable to you when you need it. • Safety Data: You can receive a Materials Safety Data Sheet with each new product you purchase from IC&S. And we deliver this information, so vital to "right to know" requirements, through our special computerized system. IC&S Safety Data Sheets are prepared by our full-time staff of legal, medical, environmental, occupational safety and transportation professionals. If information changes during the ensuing year, we automatically send you revised sheets. And if you need advice or help, Ashland's 24-hour emergency phone number is listed on these sheets and on our product labels. • Waste Collection: Through a unique arrangement with the nation's top chemical waste management firm, we provide a complete service for transportation, treatment and disposal of your chemical waste by safe, legal and environmentally sound methods. This service is especially important to help you comply with the complex government regulations. As you set optimum inventory levels and demand just-in-time deliveries, Ashland's role as marketing partner becomes even more important to improving your bottom line.
