Cut your scrap loss with Pliovic
Re-runs of trim like this are easy with PLIOVIC G90V
‘ou will find—as many vinyl processors have vs discovered—that you get less scrap, more re-usable trim, tailings and ends when you turn to PLiovic G90V —Goodyear’s new polyvinyl chloride resin.
That’s because PLIOVIC G90V has outstanding heat stability—giving less degradation and loss of physical properties when reworked. It also per- mits high calender speeds and fast extrusions that mean more production.
PLIOvic G90V has a high uniform bulk density for ease in handling — good color for use in clear or pigmented compounds — and can easily be com- pounded for use in a wide range of products.

LINERETTE
¢ ww Zz |
for faster Separation on Making Lines
Separation of stock and Linetette paper on the making lines is an easy, efficient operation. Linerette, a specially processed separating paper, prevents adhesion, insures faster operation
ss on the making lines. ~™ Ty ? : ~
And Linerette features are important in other phases of processing, too. Frictioned stocks may be fed from the calender right into Linerette. It leaves no objectionable cloth marks and contains no oil or wax. When used in die-cutting operations, clippings may be worked away with regular scrap.
Linerette supplies additional savings when used in shipping lightweight stocks—there is no need to return a fabric liner. Where cleanliness is a vital factor, Linerette serves as a low cost lining for trays and containers.
Linerette is supplied in any width up to and including
54”, in rolls of 9”, 111/2”, 13”, and 15” diameters; put
up on 3” i.d. cores. The yield is approximately six square “ .
yards to the pound. A 9” roll contains 375 linear yards
and a 15” diameter about 1150 linear yards.

ODOR COUNTERACTANTS FOR THE RUBBER FIELD Case History #12
PROBLEM: A leading producer of foam rubber mattresses and pillows was receiving complaints from dealers and consumers about offensive odors emanating from his products. Some of these odors were of low key types hardly discernible except when the user retired. Then, in direct contact, the odors became offensive.
SOLUTION: Airkem engineers discovered that the odor problem was caused by a combination of contributing factors, including the GR-S latex as well as certain polysulphide accelerators. Airkem Specification 115 was added to the raw mix to the amount of 44 of 1% of the dry latex solids.
RESULT: A marked reduction in odor problems and the elimination of this source of consumer com- plaint. The manufacturer was able to continue with the use of GR-S Latex and other materials which contributed to high manufacturing efficiency and eeonomy. The cost of the Airkem application is
measured in pennies per mattress.
These formulations have obtained excellent results in freeing products of odor problems created by decomposed protein in slab or latex, chemical nitrogenous blowing agents, plasticisers, accelerators
and stabilizers. Do you have a problem of this nature? Airkem may be able to provide a practical, low-cost solution.

One of the many marvels of chemical engineering is graphically exemplified in these photos. The product of a tree in far off Malaya and that of a zinc mine in New York State, namely rubber latex and zinc oxide— together with several other ingredients—will eventually be united in multiple marriage. The resulting “issue” are the countless rubber products cssential to the nation’s economy. Zinc Oxide is a basic ingredient in nearly all products made from either natural or synthetic rubber compounds. ST. JOE lead-free ZINC OXIDES are produced by a unique electrothermic method—a modification of the direct- from-ore, or American Process. Zinc Oxides thus produced combine most of the desirable properties of the American and French Process types. ST.

“Ingenious research and the ability to produce ... which have helped to make the United States the world’s greatest nation .. . could not have been realized without the savings of millions of thrifty persons. Savings of individuals financed new inventions, developed others. The Payroll Savings Plan for purchasing Savings Bonds regularly provides an easier way for American workers to save for future spending or investment, for their own security, and for their nation’s security. Our experience at the Maytag Company has shown us that a successful Payroll Savings program can be the foundation and the cornerstone of happy employee relations.”
Let’s point up Mr. Maytag’s concise summary of the Payroll Savings Plan with a few very recent figures:
¢ at the close of February, 1953, the cash value of Series E Bonds held by individuals reached a new high: $35.5 billion. This is $1 billion more than the value of the Bonds held on May 1, 1951, when E Bonds began to mature.
* to this encouraging reservoir of future purchasing power, 8,000,000 Payroll Savers are adding $160,000,- 000 per month by their consistent investment in U.S, Savings Bonds.
* unit sales of E Bonds in 1952 reached the highest level of the past six years—more than 77 million indi- vidual pieces. Of the 77 million units, 67 million were
in the $25 and $50 denominations—the bonds bought chiefly by Payroll Savers.
¢ Payroll Savers are serious savers—of the approxi- mately $6 billion Series E Bonds which had become due up to the end of March, $4.5 billion, or 75%, were retained by their owners beyond maturity.
If you are not among the 45,000 companies that make the benefits of the Payroll Savings Plan avail- able to their employees . . . or if you do have a Plan and your employee participation is less than 50%, a telegram or letter to Savings Bond Division, U.S. Treasury Department, Washington Building, Wash- ington, D. C., will bring you all the information and assistance needed to build a good Payroll Savings Plan.

RECLAIMS
They’re produced in 24 MINUTES ..+ NOT 24 hours!
WITHOUT SACRIFICE OF QUALITY, you can now profitably use this amazing new type of reclaim to make4most rubber products EASIER, FASTER and CHEAPER.
Because of the extremely short cycle in which the compound is in process, MORE of the origz- nal quality of the rubber is retained. This means greater abrasive wear, more resistance to heat and ozone and better aging for your finished product.
More uniform, less scorchy and with correct
tackiness, these new U. S. RE- CLAIMS permit bigger Banbury

The complete ozone resistance of Du Pont “‘Hypalon’”’ chlorosulfonated polyethylene suggests a wide variety of uses in the rubber industry—for ‘*‘Hypalon” alone, as well as in blends with other elastomers. White sidewalls for automobile tires need the resist- ance to cracking that this ozone resist- ance gives. Other uses indicated by this property of Du Pont “Hypalon”’ include automotive weather-stripping, coated fabrics, spark plug boots and wire covering.
And ozone resistance is only one of

GIANT CRACKER With 32” x 54” rolls, this is the largest and most powerful cracker ever built for the rubber industry. It is capable of grinding whole tire carcasses at a rate of 10,000 to 15,000 pounds per hour. The rubber is stripped clean of the bead during the process.
EXTRUDERS
Designed to receive stock directly from a Banbury and discharge into a calender or other processing unit, these machines require no operator. Stock is strained and extruded, or extruded without straining, in a con- tinuous strip of uniform thickness and width,
BANBURY* MIXERS
The development of greater efficiency in the Ban- bury mixer is a continuing process at Farrel-
Birmingham. Recent outstanding
improvements,
which include the Unidrive, make possible faster mixing, better quality and lower production costs.
As the world’s largest manufacturer of machinery for processing rubber and
plastics, Farrel-Birmingham has made
many outstanding engineering contri- butions to the efficient conversion of raw material to finished or semi- finished product.
Among recent developments are the four-roll ‘““Z” calender and the three- roll Tri-angular calender. Originated and developed by Farrel-Birmingham engineers, both of these designs are
‘
establishing new standards for accuracy and economy in calendering.
Other types of machines, such as Ban- bury mixers, mills, crackers and extrud- ing machines, are constantly being modified and improved in design to increase production efficiency and reliability of operation.
