Quality is not e n o u g h . . . Atlantic's rule is consistent quality! The secret—quality control of the entire manufacturing process from basic raw material to the finished product. Careful control assures consistent quality in the entire family of Atlantic Petrochemicals. This means consistent quality in your end products or formulations. This means maximum production efficiency and economy with important savings for you. The members of Atlantic's versatile family are: THE ULTRAWETS®—superior quality surface-active agents available in bead, flake or liquid form for a full range of household detergent formulations and industrial applications from dispersal agents to air entraining agents to post stabilizers in emulsion latices. Atlantic's Ultrawets offer a wide variety of physical and chemical properties for literally hundreds of applications. DETERGENT ALKYLATE # 2 - a raw material for sulfonation to produce quality alkyl aryl sulfonate surfaceactive agents. It is a blend of alkyl benzenes in which the structure and molecular weight maximize the desirable properties of the resulting sulfonate. The more important of these are wetting ability, detergency, foaming characteristics, reduction of interfacial and surface tension, light color, and freedom from odor. THE OLEFINS—a group of chemical building blocks which are used to produce such diversified applications as rubber chemicals, surface-active agents, resins, insecticides and germicides. TECHNICAL EICOSANE-a hydrocarbon with the formula C20H42 is a paraffin containing essentially 20 carbon atoms and a low melting point (96.5° F.) and its molecular structure enables it to chlorinate readily, producing compounds of unusual stability having low viscosities with high chlorine content. Some applications are: flameproofing compounds and chemical intermediates for gear lubricants and plasticizers. ANHYDROUS AMMONIA—a chemical raw material for fertilizers, explosives, for oxidizing agents in the chemical synthesis of plastics, as a source of hydrogen for bright-annealing of stainless steel, and as a source of nitrogen for nitriding alloy steels.
