Tells you w h e n alcoholysis stops Usijag glycerine, the simple, time-honored methanol solixbility test indicates a definite stopping point for the alcoholysis reaction with oil in making alkyd res ins. It minimizes risk of a spoiled batch. No special tests or procedures are necessary. r.Krserine Has other advantages durin0- alkvd cooking» Its molecule has three OH combining points — two primary, one secondary. In the polymerization reac-
tion, it permits more flexibility and reduces the dan ger of gelation. Glycerine is stable in price, dependable in supply. It offers a unique balance of properties for the manu facture of alkyd resins. We'd like to send you a copy of our 20-naffe booklet: "Glvcerine Terms, Tests and Technical Data." Address your request to the Glycerine Producers' Association.
