Softness you can see and feel, without loss of water absorbency. In these photos of identical towels, magnified many times, you see one rinsed with Arquad 2HT softener, one without a softener rinse. Notice the difference as the positively charged molecules of Arquad 2HT stick to the fibers. Uppermost photo demonstrates the remarkend result—fibers are fluffy, soft, water absorbent and full of life. Photo on left shows fabric without a special rinse—fibers are stringy, coarse, matted down. Fluffy stack of towels, above on right, again shows the effect of the Arquad solution rinse-

CATIONIC ACTIVITY
Ν Ε β
How the Arquads work A cationic product is substantive because most sur faces are neutral or negatively charged. This causes the Arquads' positively charged nitrogen molecules t o be attracted and "plate out" on these surfaces. The surface may be metal, plastic, or fabric—even bacteria, algae or clay. The drawing at right shows a material placed in an Arquad solution. As the Arquad's positively charged molecules orient themselves toward the negatively charged surface, they gradually form a monomolecular film·

Where the Arquads work In oil fields as bactericides. Controlling sulfate reducing bacteria in water floods is a major use of the Arquads. As little as 7 ppm controls the growth of these bacteria, prevents corrosion, and plugging of lines and sub-surface formations. In plastic manufacture as anti-static agents. Just 1% water solution of an Arquad eliminates normal static electricity of plastics by dissipating the elec trical charge from the plastic surfaces·
tion and extended storage stability of insecticides, such as Lindane, Toxaphene, D D T or Chlordane. Besides their cationic activity, the Arquads have a flexible composition of varying chain lengths, range from oil soluble to water soluble. These sur face active agents are effective in low concentra tions, stable over wide temperature and pH ranges. They are compatible with non-ionic materials and are easy t o handle. Listed here are just a few of the Arquad applica tions. Find out how the Arquads can help improve your process or your finished products. We will be happy to help you determine the correct Arquad for your specific application.

In water clarification systems as a flocculating aid. The Arquads "settle out" clay and other matter and help many industries produce better water. By insecticide formulators as emulsifiers. Com bined with another non-ionic emulsifier made by Armour, Arquad 2C produces complete emulsifica-
