Chemical Intermediates Many of Armour's aliphatic organic chemicals have numerous applications when used per se—but the various functional groups present in certain of these compounds allow modification of the molecule to produce other compounds with more valuable properties for new applications. The high molecular weight normal alkyl groups present in the chemical intermediates may impart desirable characteristics such as surface activity and oil solubility to the new compound. Functional groups available for modification are present in our acids, nitriles, amines, ketones and amides. Result: from the broad range of Armour chemical intermediates, a wide variety of end products for numerous uses. For example:
KETONES-REACTION PRODUCTS FOR PLASTICS, LUBE OILS, LACQUERS Armour Armone® compounds- methyl unsymmetrical alkyl ketones—offer interesting potential as chemical intermediates. The combination of long and short alkyl radicals imparts excellent solubility characteristics to Armones, influences their reaction rates, and maintains the low-volatility characteristics necessary for many applications. Armones may also be used as intermediates in perfume manufacture... additives for plastics and lube oils...mutual solvents in lacquers and varnishes... ingredients in resin formulations and rubber recipes. From these chemicals compounds such as carbinols, amines and alkanes may be formed.
ALPHA-SULFOS-NEW AIDS TO DETERGENT MANUFACTURE, GLASS PRODUCTION, GREASE PREPARATION Recent research has uncovered the versatility of Armour's Armosul* compounds: alpha-sulfonated palmitic acid, Armosul 16.. .and alpha-sulfonated stearic acid, Armosul 18. Since they are sulfonated products, the Armosuls are completely stable to acids and alkalies. With these difunctional acids, mono-, di- and mixed salts are easily prepared. The salts are suggested for improvement of detergent formulations...and to aid in production of synthetic detergent bars. As flotation reagents, the Armosuls remove mineral impurities from silica sand to assure quality glass products. Reports also indicate their usefulness in the preparation of high dropping-point greases. With Armosuls, it is easy to form water-soluble esters with anionic surface active properties. These esters are quite stable to hydrolysis, suggesting uses as surfactants in acid dyeing, pickling and electroplating. *'Armour & Co. trade-mark

TERTIARY AMINES-Α SHORT CUT TO CHEMICALS FOR SANITATION Quaternary ammonium salts can now be produced more economically with Armour tertiary amines. These Armeen® com pounds are ideal raw materials for produc ing algaecides for swimming pools, germi cides, bacteriostats, emulsifying agents, even dye-leveling aids for textile process ing. Tertiary amines can be converted directly to quaternaries without interme diate steps, and Armour's amines offer the most efficient approach to quat manufac turing. Tertiary amines also form amine salts with both organic and inorganic acids to produce a series of oil-soluble or water-soluble chemicals with surface ac tive properties. These same properties give tertiary amines, when added to lubri cating oils, the ability to neutralize acids —therefore acting as acid scavengers. IN YOUR OPERATION, TOO! Armour chemical intermediates can help you produce useful end products. Call the man who knows—your Armour representative.

PRIMARY AMINES-INTERMEDIATES FOR THE PREPARATION OF OIL-SOLUBLE HERBICIDE FORMULATIONS Hormone acid type herbicides such as 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T are usually applied in emulsion form. However, since these materials are not soluble in oil, they are often reacted with alkyl amines to yield an oil-soluble prod uct. Newest and best of the amines for the purpose are the Armeens. The Armeens provide herbicides with lower volatility and lower water solubility than those prepared with short-chain amines. Armeen-derived herb icides dissolve easily in oil, adhere better to weed sur faces, and will not vaporize and spread to nearby plants.
