How to cool off a hot seat B a k i n g f u r n i t u r e f i n i s h e s normally requires rather high temperatures. B u t furniture manufacturers who use V-C Acid Phosphates as catalysts find that they can drop curing temperatures to 1 4 0 " F . . . a n d even lower! W h a ť s more, these V-C Phosphates shorten cur ing t i m e . . . make finishes harder, more resistant to wear

and chemieal action. T h e y also permit lacquer formulation at high solids, making minimum-coat application more practical. V-C Acid Phosphates are strong organic acids which form useful salts with alkalies and amines. T h e y offer a high degree of purity and are very light in color. Solubilities change with chain length. In addition to furni ture finishes, V-C Acid Phosphates are used in coatings for appliances, automobiles, floors, paper and other surfaces. As chemieal intermediates, they help formulate rust preventatives, anti-static agents, lubricants, oil additives and flame-proofing compounds.
