More and more new uses for borax have their beginnings at Anaheim ...
The scientists shown here are representative of the large staff of research chemists who daily probe new frontiers of boron chemistry at the Anaheim Research Center. These men were a part of the teams which introduced two new boron compounds to the chemical industrial world last year.
New uses for borax, new concepts of boron chemistry, and new boron compounds, born of the imagination and specialized skills centered here, hold a promise of better things for you. YouVe seen the advent of tough new ceramics and metals . .. fiber glass . . . durable, heat-resistant glassware . . . nuclear power plants. Borax is vital to each of them! But that's not all. Today you find borax toughening steel and softening leather; growing crops and killing weeds; improving gasoline, boosting the cleansing action of soaps and detergents, flameproofing paints, fighting forest fires . . . and doing scores of other worthwhile chores for you. Constant research, conducted in these ultra-modern laboratories at Anaheim, is broadening boron's many applications — helping the chemical industry add to its parade of new and useful products for your better living. Such research is a responsibility we accept as world leader in the production of borax and boron compounds.
