Plastics Exposition Looms as Sell-Out Industrial response to the Fifth National Plastics Exposition to take place in Ex position Hall, Philadelphia, next March 11 to 14, already has marked this event as one of the nation's most powerful concen trations of industrial activity. N o fewer than 110 exhibitor companies were allotted space at t h e drawing late in September, accounting for all the exhibit space then laid out. Immediately, The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc., the sponsoring body, authorized the setting up of 19 additional booths, available on a first-come first-served basis. Within a few weeks, many of these, t©o, h a d been reserved. On experience gained from the four previous National Plastics Expositions, a total sell-out was regarded as assured.

Soap Producers To H o l d Convention The governmental outlook on supply problems of the soap industry and related fields will receive intensive coverage in a panel discussion at the 25th Anniversary Convention of t h e Association of Ameri can Soap & Glycerine Producers, Inc., Jan. 21 to 2 3 in N e w York City. The discusison panel i s one of t h e num ber of unusual program features designed to augment the theme "'Get the Whole Picture." T h e program i s being prepared in recognition of the fact that today's decision^making in soap and related industries rests o n factors beyond t h e individual con cern o f the company. Other panels and speakers of similar prominence will deal with problems of production, marketing, government relations, and economic trends to develop this theme. General economic trends will be considered at a combined meeting. Group meetings on specialty and in dustrial soaps are scheduled, as well as a combined session on the developments in the glycerol a n d fatty acid industries. Trends in usage of glycerol will be dis cussed along with recent manufacturing advances, such as the u s e of ion exchange resins. A special meeting of primary interest to producers of fatty acids will include a panel discussion "What We're Looking for from Fatty Acid Producers," presented by representatives of leading consumer in dustries.
C I C - N R C Symposium On Corrosion T h e Physical Chemistry Division of the Chemical Institute of Canada and the Associate Committee o n Corrosion Re search and Prevention of the National Re search Council o f Canada are jointly spon
soring a symposium on metals and their reactions in Ottawa, O n t , Jan. 2 8 to 30, 1952. G. V. Raynor of t h e University of Birmingham will be among the featured speakers at t h e sessions and John Convey, director of the Mines Branch in Ottawa, will b e the special dinner speaker. Among the distinguished guests taking part in the discussions will b e A. E. van Arkel, pro fessor of inorganic chemistry at t h e Uni versity of Leyden, Holland. Delegates are requested to make thenown hotel reservations by writing the Lord Elgin Hotel, where rooms will b e avail able to those stating they will attend the symposium. Further enquiries about the symposium should be sent to Garnet T. Page, general manager of the C I C , 18 Rideau St., Ottawa, Ont., Canada.
Instrument Society Schedules Future Events At the recent national meeting of the Instrument Society of America, Los Angeles was chosen for the 1956 meeting. This is in line with the policy of t h e soci ety in making meeting preparations five years in advance. The 3954 meeting will b e an Interna tional Instrument Conference and Exhibit to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the formation of the Instrument Society of America.

Phenol
O n e of K o p p e r s series of Alkylated Phenols
• Koppers makes Nonyl Phenol in com mercial quantities. I t is a slightly viscous, yellow to tan liquid; only very slightly soluble in water, b u t miscible with com mon organic solvents. REACTIONS: Two of the three normally in active nuclear positions are unsubstitutecl in this alkylated phenol, and are subject to such reactions as acyiation, sulfonation and nitration. The unhindered phenolic hyclroxyl group undergoes such reactions as etherificatioh, esterification and vinylation. USEFUL APPLICATIONS: The physical prop erties of Nonyl Phenol indicate usefulness in the production of modified phenolic res ins, non-ionic surface active agents, lu bricating oil additives, etc. A request on your letterhead will bring further information.
