Clearing tlie W3y! (,l\cerine -will help produce the vast quantities of explosives needed for postwar harbor clearance, building and rebuilding. One of the great reasons glycerine is used in making dynamite is thai it doesn't separate from other materials.
The Road Back. The return to health is aided by C.P. glycerine, an important component in the making of many pharmaceuticals. Glycerine, the versatile solvent, humectant, carrier, has been proved safe in pharmaceuticals through generations of use.
Why Glycerine is Superior in ALKYD RESIN MANUFACTURE Glycerine i s — Efficient. All three of t h e hydroxy 1 groups are reactive, yet reaction in the resin kettle is controllable. Glycerine-derived alkyds set to hard films, and have a low acid number. High-boiling.
Ji stays in t h e kettle.
Pure. W h e n y o u buy glycerine, you a r e n ' t buying a mixture of ρ ?; hydroxy materials, or unwanted impurities — you buy just glycerine.
Glycerine has— Complete availability of hydroxyl groups. No internal dehy dration at ordinary kettle temperatures. You get full value with glycerine. A long record of service to the resin industry. low price, u n i q u e properties.
High utility,
Glycerine is valuable n o t only in the making of alkyd resins, but in h u n d r e d s of other products. Its high viscosity, high solvent power, compatibility, nontoxicity, permanence, and other advantages make it a superior humectant, plasticizer, solvent, preservative, lubricant, hydraulic fluid, a n d component in m a n y essential materials. TOUgh Job! Long-lasting modern paints for Avar equipment, and for widespread industrial and home use, are made Avith an alkyd resin base. Glycerine is important in the making of these resins.
