"The Shape of Things
High Molecular Weight Carboxyl Derivatives . . . Basic Ingredients for Chemical Synthesis . . . Now Available in Carload Quantities from the ARMOUR CHEMICAL DIVISION Processes developed and put into large-scale operation in the Armour Chemical Division will produce the Primary, Secondary or Tertiary Amine . . . the Nitrite . . . the Symmetrical Aliphatic Ketone . . . the Amide . . . in carload quantities from any available fatty acid. Normally, 11 different derivatives of each of the above series of chemicals would be available, ranging in alkyl chain length from 6 to 18 carbon atoms. Current productions are centered around those materials of domestic origin, and we are limited to 5 members of each series, with the exception of high-ranking, priority-rated orders.
These new, important chemicals comprise an extensive and useful group of Carboxyl Derivatives, now ready for shipment a s " C D " AMINES... NITR1LES... AMIDES ...KETONES. Their major applications to America's war effort and to important industrial processes await your demonstration in your own operations. The field of industrial application for these newly available chemicals is developing rapidly. A few of the diverse jobs in which their usefulness has already been proved are: Flotation re-agent for oxidized, "acidic" minerals... germicides · . . fungicides... insecticides . . . plasticizers and lubricants for synthetic rubber... dispersion and coagulation agents··-improving adhesion of aggregate and a s p h a l t . . . stabilizing hydrocarbons... water-proofing . . . rust-proofing . . . grease-proofing... plasticizing and lubricating acetate molding resins. The Realm of N e w Discoveries via chemical synthesis offers limitless opportunities for using these new compounds. All of the many " C D " derivatives have challenging possibilities as basic ingredients in the production of other chemicals. T h u s they will play a vital role in hewing "The Shape of Things to Come." Let us work with you in making them produce tomorrow's developments. . .today. The Armour Chemical Division invites research and creative chemists to investigate the versatile characteristics and development potentials of these new
