The broad usefulness of the watersoluble polymer Gantrez AN makes it especially interesting to applications-research and technical-service chemists. Available as the polymeric anhydride (as well as the half amide and certain half esters), it is readily convertible to the free acid, salts and other derivatives. A quick review of
the applications and properties listed below may suggest a solution to a current problem. • The Gantrez AN polymers are available in drum and truckload quantities from our new Calvert City, Kentucky, production facilities. A coupon is provided for your convenience in requesting samples and technical literature.
