\Five iilew Hooker Products to Help You κ
mong Hooker's thirteen new chemicals announced a t t h e Chemical Exposition, December 1943, some have shown especially promising futures. Many chemists all •over the country have been trying out these new products. Their work is of course •confidential, b u t we feel t h a t you may find, as they have, chemicals to assist in doing •an old job better or to do an entirely new job. Whether your research or production problems are concerned with present or post Λ\ΆΤ needs, we invite your inquiries about these new products. T h e Hooker Labora tories have prepared additional data and will be glad to send y o u such information when requested on your letter head. plastics.

Description: Hexachlorbutadiene is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild char acteristic odor. I t is insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol, ether and most chlorinated solvents. I t is highly stable and is resistant to hydrolysis by water or mild alkalies. Hexachlorbutadiene has been found to be compatible with t h e following types of plastics. I n most cases t h e resultant ma terial tends to be soft (S) or rubbery (R). In a few cases, tough (T) or even brittle (B) materials are formed.

CHLORPARAFFIN RESIN 70 C 2 4 H 2 9 C 1 2 1 (aver.) Description: Hooker Chlorparaffin Resin 70 is a highly chlorinated paraffin. I t is a brittle resin having an amber color in lump form. I t may be crushed readily to a white powder which exhibits little tendency t o agglomerate on standing. I t is more stable than chlorinated paraffins containing lesser amounts of chlorine. I t is soluble i n most aromatic solvents, but is difficult of solution or insoluble in mineral spixits. I t begins t o soften measurably a t a b o u t 90°C a n d is still very viscous a t 120°C. ChlorparafHn Resin 70 has been found to be compatible with the following types of plastics: Chlorinated Diphenyl Resin Rosin Modified Phenolic Resin Gilsonite Chlorpropane Wax ISO Ester Gum Methyl Abietate Resin Polystyrene Phenol Formaldehyde Alkyd Resin Chlorinated Piccolyte Piccoumaron Chlorinated Rubber Vinyl Polymer Urea Formaldehyde Benzyl Cellulose Poly Terpene Resin Polyvinyl Chloride Methacrylate Interpolymer
Suggested Uses: Ingredient of fire, water and mildew retardant paints, fabrics and other protective coatings. I t s stability and chemical inertness relative to most substances make it of particular interest for the impregnation of combustible materials to give fire retardant action. In protective coatings and paints, it does not affect t h e rate of drying. Physical Data:
