Triethylaluminifm helps make detergents "Clean" enough, that is, to put her home in sparkling condition, and also satisfy tightening water-quality regulations as well. It works like this. Ethyl makes huge quantities of the extremely reactive and pyrophoric chemical, triethylaluminum (TEA). Much of
this output is used to chain-grow ethylene into long, linear, evennumbered carbon chains, ending up in the form of either linear alcohols or alpha olefins. Now it so happens that bacteria in nature are fussy eaters. They biodegrade linear carbon chains much
faster than branched or cyclic chains. So these "Ethyl" alcohols and olefins are in demand for making effective liquid and powder detergents with just about the ultimate in biodegradability. Ethyl's specialty is a unique group of production technologies
'clean" for her,"clean" enough for him. that can lead to new, low-cost ways of providing needed chemicals in needed quantities. Among our other product capabilities are vinyl bromide forflameretardants, and a number of exclusive alkylphosphorus and orthoalkylated aniline and phenol intermediates
for herbicides, pesticides and pharmaceuticals. Your own future might well be changed for the better because of what Ethyl can produce. So keep up-to-date by placing your name on our mailing list. Write us at 451 Florida, Baton Rouge, La. 70801.
