Want to get rid of foam?
You want Airco acetylenics. Their reactive triple bond offers numerous possibilities for chemical syntheses. For instance, our SURFYNOL® surfactants are outstanding defoamers and wetting agents in paper products and paints. Our METHYL PENTYNOL, a chemical intermediate, is successful as a tranquilizer in the transport of live fish. Other acetylenic derivatives are useful in perfumes, drugs, food flavorants, you name it. These and those indicated in the charts are only a few of the creative uses for this family of acetylenics from Airco Chemical. For samples and literature, write on company letterhead to Airco Chemical, the most experienced producers of acetylenic chemicals in the world. Airco Chemical, Division of Cumberland Chemical Corporation, a Subsidiary of Air Reduction Company, Inc., 150 East 42nd Street, New York, N.Y. 10017.
