Waste not, want not — 1957 style! Pictured above is one way for today's manufacturers not to be found wanting for a method of turning processing wastes into profitable products. These ingenious machines convert a variety of fibers—animal, vegetable, mineral or synthetic—into versatite?nonwoven fabrics, mats, wadding or felt, efficiently and economically.
CHEMICAL LATEX
Take cord or yarn wastes. By feeding them through a "webber" and impregnating them with a bonding agent based on C H E M I G U M LATEX, one soon has a strong, smooth, soft, porous, random fiber fabric.
L A T E X is a colloidal dispersion of a butadieneacrylonitrile copolymer. It is used in bonding agents to impart nitrite rubber permanent adhesion, flexibility and softness. Moreover, C H E M I G U M LATEX is easily handled and compounded. No complicated equipment or proc CHEMICAL essing problems are involved in giving you an unusual product of wide application. Write today for details and the latest Tech Book DIVISION Bulletins on C H E M I G U M LATEX in nonwoven fabric and many other uses.
