Here's a paper that's really on the beam Wrapping a hefty, wooden, structural arch to protect its natural beauty during shipment calls for a truly heavy-duty paper. It must not only be strong, but must withstand the abrasion, abuse, weather and dirt encountered in open transport. Right on the beam in answering these needs is the special, reinforced, laminated paper being used above. It's unusually strong, highly resistant to t e a r i n g or p u n c t u r i n g — a n d waterproof; yet e x t r e m e l y pliable a n d surprisingly low in cost. What makes this paper so tough and durable is its high-tensile, steellike fiber reinforcement—and its special, laminating adhesive, permanently plasticized with P L I O L I T E LATEX. P L I O L I T E LATEX is used because of its consistent quality, its compatibility with the resins in the adhesive, its excellent adhewafer dispersion sion, its lasting flexibility, its moisture resistance and its nonstaining styrene-butadiene qualities. Laminating adhesives are just one of many applications for P L I O L I T E LATEX. This water-dispersed rubber is conCHEMICAL tinually finding new uses in the paper industry in the form of other types of adhesives plus coatings, sizes and inks.
