ALATHON
POLYTHENE RESIN
makes a n e w kind of They've made pail closures out of many materials . . . b u t it wasn't until one manufacturer tried "Alathon" polythene resin t h a t this truly unusual kind was developed. "Alathon" is almost completely inert . . . this new closure withstands any liquid that is shipped in commercially lined pails. For t h e same reason, "Alathon" won't contaminate the contents in any way. And because "Alathon" is also a flexible material, t h e closure could be designed to do two jobs. First, it provides a n airtight, tamper-proof, moisture-proof seal. Then when t h e seal is cut, t h e closure pulls out easily to form a cleanpouring spout. The properties of "Alathon" polythene resin make it a valuable plastic for other industries, too—for example, in the packaging, paper-coating, and electrical fields. And they suggest many new applications. A few possibilities are: as shoe components, as battery parts, and as a binder for non-woven fabrics. There's a good chance your business may

find opportunities for profitable future use in "Alathon" polythene resin . . . or perhaps in many of the other Polychemicals products. There are more than 100 of them—organic acids, amides, alcohols, ammonia, esters, resins, solvents and plastics. Although demand for many of these products now exceeds supply, we will gladly discuss the availability of experimental quantities for developmental work.
