We've got 3 important create better, longerProducing polyolefins gets more complicated every day — what with the growing array of additives, comonomers and catalysts. Ethyl Corporation is in a unique position to help you. We're basic in 3 ingredients that are basic to polyolefin manufacture — antioxidants, aluminum alkyls and alpha olefins. ANTIOXIDANT 330 KEEPS POLYOLEFINS STRONGER, LONGER.
Polyethylene and polypropylene products often lose their antioxidant, shortening their useful life. This is usually due to extraction or volatilization, leaving the polymer undefended against oxidative attack and premature failure.
Not so with "Ethyl" Antioxidant 330. It has exceptionally low volatility and is an extremely effective oxidation inhibitor as well. So 330 protects against oxidation for the life of the end-product. It's highly effective too during high-temperature processing, without discoloring or staining. 16

ingredients to help you lasting polyolef ins. Minimum impurities (including isomeric olefins) give a big assist in maximizing the control of final polymer properties —yielding high quality plastics and less off-spec material. Ethyl's entry into this market (we have the world's largest supply) makes it advisable to review what our olefins might contribute to your polymers. We are ready to help you use them in applications of interest to you.
A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY.
You can upgrade your product using just a little Antioxidant 330, making it an extremely cost/effective proposition. It's a natural, for instance, in uses such as insulation for electrical cables and fibers for webbing, carpets, water-ski and other synthetic ropes, as well as many betterquality plastic items (such as luggage) where an extended lifetime is expected. Antioxidant 330 should also be considered for use in polystyrene, polyurethanes, solution polymerized elastomers, and in the new thermoplastic rubber like polymers now becoming important by closing the gap between plastics and elastomers. An "Ethyl" representative would be happy to provide samples and help on Antioxidant 330. Just send the coupon, checking the appropriate box. WEIL HELP PLAN YOUR ALUMINUM ALKYL FACILITY.
We're well qualified to do this, as the world's most experienced supplier of aluminum alkyls. We developed our proprietary manufacturing processes over a decade ago—and offer a variety of alkyl products. This has given us a great deal of know-how which we're eager to share with customers: First, Ethyl can help you right at the outset, when you're starting to plan your catalyst system. Then we can help you work out safe, practical handling

procedures for your commercialscale situation. This includes design service on facilities for unloading, storage, piping, blending and (shown) sampling. We can even help train your plant personnel in all the above aspects —show your lab people good analytical procedures and techniques too. All these services, ranging from routine operations to action in emergencies, can't help but save you time, money and trouble. Just send the coupon for complete details on what we can do. ALPHA OLEFINS TO IMPROVE POLYOLEFIN IMPACT RESISTANCE.
Ethyl has recently made available a reliable source of very pure straight-chain alpha olefinsbutene-1, hexene-1 and octene-1 for use as comonomers with ethylene and other olefins to impart improved properties to polyolefins. They are low in vinylidenes and paraffins.
By now, it should be apparent that Ethyl can assist your resinproducing operation in more ways than one. At the inception of your plant, or if it's already in operation.
