Armour idea chemicals at work:
Caustic soda drain solvent made by Rooto Corporation, flows freely despite high humidity.
How to keep your powder dry Caustic soda is one of the biggest hygroscopic headaches around. But even this tough-to-handle material is on good behavior after treatment with an Armoflo® anti-caking compound. For example, Rooto Corporation, Detroit, uses Armoflo 610 to coat its caustic soda drain solvents, and thus insures free-flowing handling and packaging—eliminates production shut-
down on hot, humid days! If your product poses a caking or dusting problem, an Armoflo compound most likely can provide the solution. Applied as a spray or by other means, Armoflo compounds are already successfully protecting fertilizers, fertilizer salts, sulfur, thermosetting resins and insecticides. Cost is insignificant — it takes only 1-3
pounds of an Armoflo compound to coat a ton of product. If spillage causes losses due to product caking . . . if shelf life is limited . . . if dust irritates workers' eyes and skin . . . if equipment clogs on humid days, you'll want more details on the Armoflo compounds. Write Dept. CEN-19 for Armoflo Bulletin.
