—New Nonionic —Ethylene Glycol —Isobutyl Alcohol and Acetate
New nonionic TERGITOL Nonionic TP-9 is a new ad
dition to CARBIDE'S long line of nonyl phenol-ethylene oxide condensates. I t is similar to CARBIDE'S widely used T E R GITOL N P X — except for a lower cloud point. TERGITOL TP-9 has a cloud point of 51-56°C. (124-131°F.), com pared with 61-66°C. (142-151°F.) for TERGITOL N P X .
More uses for ethylene glycol Although ethylene glycol is best known for its anti-freeze applications, it is widely used for many other purposes. For example, when esterified with polybasic acids, ethylene glycol forms resins for laminating and surface coatings. It can also be used in the manufacture of polyester fiber and films. With pentaerythritol, ethylene glycol produces alkyd resins for paints and enamels. Ethylene glycol should be evaluated as a solvent and conducting medium for ammonium perborate, the conductor in most dry-type capacitors. It is also a valuable solvent for stains, soluble oils, resins, special varnishes and enamels, and some dyes and inks. A 62-page booklet lists and describes CARBIDE'S glycols, their properties, and scores of applications. For a copy of "Glycols," use the coupon at right.
The low specific gravities of these products give substantial savings when per-pound purchases are converted into per-gallon sales. CARBIDE'S high-purity isobutanol not only serves as a latent solvent and as a viscosity reducer, but also as an inter mediate in production of ester solvents and plasticizers. Isobutyl acetate has properties paral leling η-butyl acetate and other acetate mixtures. In addition to the attractive cost differential that goes with isobutyl al cohol or acetate, other economies are obtainable through bulk shipments with other CARBIDE solvents. Tear out this coupon.
