THE " C D " CHEMICALS shorten the time between NOW . . . end TOMORROW The world of tomorrow is near at hand for those w h o have discovered the vast range o f applications of " C D " amides. These really high molecular weight amides, containing normal alkyl chains o f 16 and 18 carbon atoms, are in daily large scale commercial production. They are freely available without priority ratings. Physical characteristics vary from soft to high-melting waxes, dependent on the chain length and the unsaturation o f the molecule. (Commercial octadecane amide, coded AD-1180-C, melts at the boiling point of water.) MELTING POINT ELEVATION. A small percentage o f octadecane amide added to a parafBne having a dropping point o f 53° C. raises the dropping point to 81° C. COLOR BRILLIANCE. The amides bring out the brilliance of color in wax mixes or oil solutions, as well as being excellent solvents for oil-soluble dyes. Uses: Carbon paper, Cosmetics, Polishes, W a x formulations ANTI-TACK PROPERTIES. A simulated beeswax may be made from a sticky mixture of rosin and mineral oil amide: by the addition of
Uses:

EMULSIFIABILITY. By grinding in a ball mill stable water suspensions are obtained having more than 26% solids. The amides can be readily emulsified and diluted t o almost any percentage of solids. Ordinary techniques may be used, such as stirring Solution N o . 1 into Solution N o . 2 at 80° C. { Amide 4 0 parts | Stearic acid . . . 10 parts No
