Emmrganics Can your low temperature plasticizer system pass the "frigid guillotine" test? The T-bar samples (below) that failed this test (described at right) were made from a vinyl that cost a few cents less but which could cost a fortune in lost customers. If you're not sure of the low temperature performance of your vinyls, you should take a good look at the test sample at the top of the photo. Plastolein^ 9058 DOZ Plasticizer helped this vinyl retain its flexibility down to a chilly —60°C and below! In addition, Plastolein 9058 DOZ is the only low temperature plasticizer offering this fine balance of properties: • longer lasting LT flexibility • good compatibility • low volatility • superior heat and light stability • outstanding extraction resistance • fine hand and drape All these qualities that influence your customers to buy again and again are yours at less than a cent per pound more than formulations using average low temperature plasticizers. Isn't this a paltry premium to pay for customer satisfaction every time? If you haven't already added the safety factor of
Plastolein 9058 DOZ to your vinyl formulations, why not send for evaluation samples and complete information today? Use convenient coupon. ASTM D746 B R I T T L E P O I N T T E S T T-50 samples are cut from 75 mil plastic sheeting. A Scott Brittleness Tester is employed, using methanol cooled with dry ice as the heat transfer medium. Five samples at a time are clamped in tester holder and immersed in the fluid for 2.5 minutes at the given test temperature. After immersion, a solenoid activates a guillotine which delivers a single impact blow to the samples. The samples are examined for failure, failure being defined as breaking of the sample. Temperatures are selected to produce a range between no failure and complete failure. Brittleness temperature is defined as that temperature where 50% of the samples break.

developments from Emery oleochemical
Emery offers low odor polyamide resins for printing inks There's no longer any need to "special order' ' low odor polyamide resins for flexographic or rotogravure inks. Low odor is a uniformly dependable characteristic of all Emerez® Polyamide Resins. Film and foil printed with inks based on Emerez 1538, 1535, 1530, and 1540 show superiority in the resin odor test, shown below, prescribed by the Flexographic Technical Assn., Inc. In addition to low printed film odor, Emerez Polyamides offer excellent color; improved wet-pack resistance and adhesion to polyolefin films; rub, blocking, and smearing resistance; high gloss; and good compatibility with other film-forming resins. For detailed information, write for Technical Bulletin 446, "Emerez Polyamide Resins in Flexographic and Rotogravure Inks".

Quality Esters for textile lubricants Emery oleate esters, widely used in specialty lubricants, reflect the outstanding color, odor, and oxidation stability of the Emersol® Oleic Acid from which they are derived. Emery's methyl, propyl, and glyceride esters, because of their oily, non-corrosive nature and low pour points, are used in textile oils, as bases for sulfurized lubricants, and in the compounding of specialty lubricants. When sulfated, they exhibit interesting surface active properties which have led to their use as wetting agents. Another Emery ester, glyceryl mono-oleate, is a long chain mono-ester. With its unique oil solubility, small amounts of glyceryl mono-oleate add rust preventative properties to mineral lubricating oils. Technical Bulletin 434A contains specifications and properties of Emery Oleate Esters. Three additional Emery quality esters are well worth investigating for use as textile lubricants and as components of textile softeners and finishing compositions: Emerest 2322 Butyl Stéarate. Very low odor and water white color. Request Data Sheet No. 104. Emerest 2320 Butyl Stéarate. Priced below 2322 for applications having less stringent odor and stability requirements. Request Data Sheet No. 104. Emery 3989-D Ethylene Glycol Distearate, a white, moderately high-melting wax, exhibits good light, heat, and odor stability. Request Data Sheet No. 105.
