A price reduction of approximately 20 % on Monsanto HB-40, effective on M a y 3, broadens the field of economical, practical uses of this clear, mobile, high-boiling hydrocarbon. Some of these applications of H B - 4 0 are listed below. Particularly, we suggest the use of H B - 4 0 as an extender for other plasticizers now difficult to obtain. Shipments of H B - 4 0 are not restricted to any existing W P B controls. Further research no doubt will discover m a n y more uses for the unique combination of chemical and physical properties of H B - 4 0 . If you would like to join the search for new applications . . . applying H B - 4 0 to your own products or processes . . . mail the coupon for a free sample and technical information.
