Waxes, the oldest of protective surface coatings, are still in wide use because o f their many remarkable and unique properties. Plastics, the newest of protective surface coatings, have made possible great steps in fabrication because of the many desirable characteristics they offer. However, the waxes and the plastics each have certain highly desirable inherent characteristics which are lacking in the
other . . . a great intermediate field lies in a combination of the t w o . In order to blend plastics with the c h e a p e r paraffin a n d m i c r o c r y s t a l l i n e waxes, a mutual solvent is needed. T h e Armids—Armour's high molecular weight amides — are such a mutual solvent. T h e resultant compounds vary from soft, waxlike materials to hard, flinty plastic-like surfaces depending on the formulation chosen for your product or process.
If your p r o b l e m is with ethyl cellulose, with certain vinyls, with oil-solublephenolformaldehyde resins, with polystyrenes, with rnethacrylates, write today for our new booklet, T h e A r m i d s as M u t u a l S o l v e n t s for W r a x e s a n d P l a s t i c s . Complete data and phase diagrams of mixtures of certain plastics and waxes (using Armid H T , commercial octadecanamide) show which formulations are compatible. Samples also are available upon request.
