First we tamed ethylenimine, then we did the same to its price. Ethylenimine monomer always was an unfettered talent. Hard to handle. Toxic. Expensive.

price. Less than a dollar a pound. What happens now? You can best answer that one. As you know, this highly reactive building block has a molecular weight of only 43. If your product has a reactive handle, chances are ethylenimine can give it that extra versatility. Easily snaps on to your acid, alcohol, phenol, mercaptan or isocyanate. So far, we've isolated more than a thous-
