Viscosity (Centipoises) 38°C. 1.35 54°C. 1.09 In addition to properties it pos- sesses in common with other aldehyes, furfural exhibits a chemical behavior peculiar to the unsaturated furan nucleus. A s a consequence it is commanding in- creasing interest as a chemical in- termediate. Its versatility, high, purity and low price are reasons why you should evaluate furfural in proc- esses and products involving its use as a selective solvent, resin ingredient, general solvent, wet- ting agent, and chemical inter- mediate.

Rubber manufacturers' sales are expected to surpass the 1953 peak of $5,097 million. Increased productiv- ity is resulting in use of fewer employees to attain this output. Sodium and Ethyl Chloide Du Pont to add intermediates plant adjacent to and integrated with its tetraethyllead and Freon plant on West Coast Du PONT IS EXPANDING its Antioch, Calif., plant more than a year before it is completed. Present plans call for adding a multimillion dollar sodium, ethyl chloride, trichloroethylene, and perchloroethylene plant. It will ad- join and be integrated with the, tetraethyllead and Freon refrigerants plant which is scheduled for completion late next year. Sodium and ethyl chloride are essential intermediates in the manu- facture of tetraethyllead. This expansion will occupy a part of the previously acquired site located two miles east of Antioch on the San Joaquin River. According to present Schedules, t h e new addition is expected to be completed during the early part of 1957. I#i*av Concentration Besides supplying sodium for the Du Pont plant, it will also make it for sale to other consumers on the West Coast. The trichloroethylene made at the plant will go chiefly to West Coast aircraft iuiva. rnetrta xciu/ricatiiig muuSLrics xor use in degreasing metal parts. Principal consumer of perchloroethylene will be the dry cleaning industry. The three primary raw materials needed by the plant—electricity, propane, and salt—will all b e purchased locally. Propane will be brought to the plant from nearby refineries. Salt will come from the San Francisco Bay area where it is extracted from sea water by solar evaporation. Atlas Point Strike Like a cold shower—quick in and quick out—the strike at Atlas Powder's chemicals plant near Wilmington, Del., was over almost as soon as it started. First the employees voted to reject a two-year contract with ajn offer of a 16-cents-per-hour raise—8 cents immediately and 8 cents next year. The UMW District 50 was demanding a 15-cent raise immediately, with the right to renegotiate next year. The company's second offer was for a one-year contract, again with an 8- cent raise. Union representatives agreed to this offer in eleventh-hour negotiations. However when the union rank-and-file met to vote on the offer, it was rejected and the employees went out on strike. ALfter being out for only a few days, employees voted again, this time to accept the previously rejected offer of a one-year contract. In less than a week after the strike call, the Atlas Point chemicals plant returned to full production. > Food Machinery & Chemical has established a central development department for its chemical divisions.
