Protect aluminum with new chemical against corrosion at low temperatures where condensation is possible. ( I l l ) Metal castings, smooth and non-brittle, are now produced by a new foundry core application. (115) Seal for joints and seams which is flexible, leak-proof, non-cracking and resistant t o benzol, gasoline, diesel oil, butane, propane, pentane and similar liquids and gases. (119) Lubricating compound for drawing aluminum. (139) Lubricating compound for tin stamping which permits the stamping of lacquered metal without fracturing the coating. (140) Rust prevention, lubrication and bright annealing o f nickel alloy stampings are obtained b y the application of a solution of a synthetic wax which gives a water resistant finish. On subsequently annealing the stamping, the wax has a reducing action on the oxides and gives a verybright anneal. (157) Both ferrous and non-ferrous surfaces can be protected from tarnish and corrosion by means of a special emulsion which is sprayed cold on to the desired parts t o give a thin, transparent adhesive film. (159) Nickel alloys are now being drawn, stamped or formed and then annealed without cleaning b y means of a special water dispersible wax-like synthetic. (177) Sintered bearings made with metallic powders have a tendency t o stick in the molds. A newly developed lubricant enables the bearings to be very readily released from the molds. (179) A water soluble material that gives a soft, flexible, transparent film o n paper, textiles, wood, etc. (112) Waterproof cloth or paper in one operation. A new waterproofing liquid does it. (133) Flameproofing agent cuts fire risks for textiles, paper, wood and composition board. (143) Paper coated with paraffin wax is rendered much more translucent by a pre-treatment with an aqueous solution of a new synthetic chemical. (145) Non-stick wrapper for packaging sticky candies and other products made possible by new wax coating of white, odorless, synthetic wax in conjunction with paraffin wax. (156) Olive Oil substitute for textile and other technical lubrication. (128) Textile lubricant which is water soluble. (137) Cotton and rayon braid, shoe laces, etc., are treated with a combination of waxes t o give increased flexibility and high lustre. (148) D y e Solvent for water insoluble dyes which makes them "soluble" in water. (149) Textile emulsions of oils and waxes stable in the presence of sulphuric acid, aluminum sulfate and other electrolytes, can readily be made by use of a new type of emulsifying agent. (152) " N y l o n " and "Vinyon" lubricant can readily be made in the cold b y use of synthetic emulsifying agent. The finished oil is readily removed b y water, is nonoxidizing, stainless and will not carbonize. (167)

Textile oils used as worsted lubricants, spun rayon stock lubricants, finish and lustre oils for cotton, rayon and other natural and synthetic yarns can economically be made b y means of a new synthetic oil, produced from domestic raw materials. (170) A temporary binder for clays for ceramic insulation prior t o firing, enabling the clays to be molded without crumbling. (113) Porcelain, vitreous china, plated metal parts are protected against mechanical abuse and corrosion by a new t y p e of protective coating. (123) Binder for vitreous enamel to replace gum arabic for vitreous enamel designs, enabling identifications or trade-marks t o be applied with a rubber stamp. (131) Abrasive wheels. A temporary binder for abrasive wheels which completely volatilizes on firing. (141) Porcelain enamel frit binder giving a firmer and more lustrous enamel coating than is obtained with gums. (142) Adhesive for "cellophane", cellulose acetate and other synthetic materials of a similar nature. (118) Adhesive for holding tissue paper t o aluminum in special m a p and display work. (124) The adhesion of rubber to cloth o n vulcanization can be increased b y the addition of a chemical material to t h e raw rubber mix. (151) Thermosetting cements for lamp and radio tube bases of the alcoholic phenol formaldehyde t y p e containing a synthetic product, made domestically, have greater thermoplastic effects before heat setting than when shellac is used. (164) Pulp color and pigment dispersing agent for aqueous products that prevents caking. (120) Flatting agent for paints and varnishes that eliminates grinding and produces a smooth, uniform product. (125) Semi-gloss water emulsion paints and varnishes that are water resistant o n drying are made with a protein base. (127) Lacquer, varnish and enamel plasticizer which is light in color and which will increase the gloss of the dry film. Also has good wetting and dispersing properties for pigments. (144) Lake colors which permit soft grinding, giving better length and dispersion, are obtained by the application of a glyceryl compound before coupling bases. (163) Pigment lakes incorporated in t h e usual vehicles exhibit greater length and absence of "buttering" by the use of a special soaplike material applied in t h e acid phase in the manufacture of the lakes after coupling. (166) Non-mar enamels are easily made by the incorporation of a solution of a special wax which gives increased "slip" effects. (169) Lacquers giving excellent water and ink resistance are obtained b y t h e incorporation of a solution of a new type o f wax. (171) Rubber goods finish of high lustre and flexibility resistant to gasoline. (129) Raw rubber sheets can b e prevented from sticking together by means of a water dispersion of a synthetic wax-like material. This dispersion can also be used as a lubricant in the cutting of rubber gaskets. (150)

Plastic and hard rubber articles can be polished by the tumbler barrel method by means of a hard, white, synthetic wax which effectively replaces carnauba wax a t a much lower cost. (168) Synthetic rubber can n o w b e made flexible by means of a n e w plasticizer which is now available. (184) Cork preservative t o p r e v e n t mould formation. (132) Cement, concrete and stucco waterproofing agent. (138) Warpage of wood can b e prevented by the use of a special wax w h i c h increases acid and alkali resistance a s well as decreasing time of impregnation. (146) Wood, fibreboard, etc., can b e flameproofed effectively without loss of other properties. (176) Sulphonated oils in the treatment of furs and leather c a n be replaced b y the use of a new synthetic oil which eliminates rancidity and stickiness. (158) Printing ink vehicles giving better spread, slip and anti-blocking effects are obtained b y substituting for ozokerite a new synthetic w a x made from domestic raw materials. (162) Urea formaldehyde resins are plasticized and lubricated b y new water dispersible waxes which are incorporated in the aqueous phase.
