for you—can be one of your most valuable compounding aids. In compatible systems, Monsanto solid plasticizers can impart many of the product benefits you w a n t : sharp melting point, easier processing or melt viscosity, heat scalability, low volatility and migration, higher tensile and tear strength, excellent adhesion, lower cost. At common processing temperatures, they melt and function as solvent-plasticizers . . . make possible higher solids content in adhesives, lacquers, paper a n d textile coatings—improve flow, leveling, "hot-tackiness" and nonblocking characteristics —aid in wetting fillers, speed fusion of resin binders, boost ad-
