NEW USES, PRODUCTS, CAPACITY THREE IV THE ABC'S AND DEF'S OF N 2 H 4

Though America's use of hydrazine has grown to some 20 million pounds a year, there's still plenty of potential. As the nation's leading merchant supplier, w e ' d naturally like it t a p p e d . One way is to suggest new uses to R&D chemists unfamiliar with hydrazine's incredible versatility. So we've put together a peripatetic seminar which leads t h e m through the ABC's of hydrazine chemistry to the DEF's a n d beyond. It's just part of a c o m p l e t e p a c k a g e of scientific services designed to transfer k n o w l e d g e from our heads to yours. It's unique from Olin. And only w h a t you'd expect from the leader.

THREE FAST CATS

Hydrazine loves oxygen. In water, it removes the free oxygen t h a t causes corrosion, a n d the reaction leaves no residual or dissolved solids. That's why hydrazine is widely used to fight corrosion in steam boilers. There is just one problem: the lower the temperature, the slower the reaction time. Now Olin Water Scientists offer three solutions: the Fast Cats. They're three catalyzed hydrazine solutions whose reaction times have b e e n spectacularly s p e e d e d up. Since there's a Fast C a t for every operating condition, there's no more reason for a boiler to g o to the dogs.

RE REASONS OLIN LEADS FROM STRENGTH.

GIANT STEP UPWARD

Way back in 1953 Olin built the first — a n d for many years the only — commercial hydrazine plant in the U.S.A. Over those years, to serve a growing market, we d o u b l e d its capacity to 7 million pounds a year. But with hydrazine uses continuing to grow swiftly we n e e d e d even more capacity. So this year we're taking a giant step upward with a giant new plant. Its capacity is 14 million pounds per year. And it's totally d e d i c a t e d to serving the merchant market. Like w e are. Hydrazine is a product Olin pioneered in the U.S. Its uses are growing. We're growing to meet them in many ways: with new products, with new merchant capacity, a n d through the transmission of ideas for exploiting the unusual opportunities hydrazine a n d its inter­ mediates offer to R&D chemists. Hydrazine: It's another area where Olin leads from strength.
