. Spencer Kellogg has developed a more, highly catalyzed
oil,: trade marked "Kelvitol", which is claimed to body 3 hoare
with a fire time of approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes at 585 ;'
to-605;I and; will hold that temperature without any further addi". r
fcion of heat, .The bodied oil has better color, acid number and
less loss in cooking than varnish linseed oil would yield. This ;
exothermic-reaction is only evident in plant 'batches, of. two/drums'"'
or more, laboratory batches do not show'this exothermic reaction
or the speed of bodying.

Also, ADM has just recently introduced, a competitive.oil,
!JSpeoial famish Oil #27", which is .similar to rKelvitol% 'Al- '
though it is one half cent cheaper than "Kelvitol", it develops
on bodying more color, higher acid number and requires about. 30
minutes more bodying time than Xelvit.o.1" \
' ' . '
From' the above data, approximately three, kettles of "Xel~
vital* or "370 #27" could be bodied to fO-5053 in the same'period as one of H19. Using these different bodying rates, the total;. .

cost of proflaction during an equal period of time for each oil was calculated, considering an increase in cost due to the handling
of more oil per unit timeo From this total cost, unit conversion costs were determined for each VO-5053 analog. Furthermore, the cost due to losses in kettling and in handling the bodied oil were estimated, A summary of these oosts is given in the following table:-

On the basis of these costs it is noted that ADIS's "Spe cial Varnish Oil #27" is approximately 0,2 of a cent per pound
cheaper than H-19 and S-K's "Kelvitol" 0,3 cent per pound more ex pensive than H-19 to body to VO-5053
Since there is no savings involved in the use of. "Kelvi-
tol", its only advantages would be in increased kettle capacity,
good color and aoid number. Although there is a saving in cost of
bodied oil in the use of "5V0 #27", this saving would be offset
by its poor color and acid number as compared to H-19,
.
We are arranging to seoure 6 drums of MKelvitolM to ac tually determine in the plant its speed of bodying in production of bodied oil and varnishes, thus determining definitely the extent to which we can increase our production capacity by the use of pre sent equipment, in view of possible future interest when the oil quota is increased.

During the last'year the oil companies have developed highly
catalyzed linseed oils which' body very rapidly, in shout 1/3 the time
for regulary varnish linseed oil, in order to oompete with the rapid
hdying of chlnawood oil, ' The' Spencer Kellogg oil is trade termed
"Kelvltol'' and the ADM *oil is called Special Varnish Of 1 #27,

Froa this it can be seen that, it is possible to obtain satisfactory bodied oil in about one third the time required for bodying Si-19, since
it takes approximately 10 hours to body H-19 t0Z4raZ-6. However,. as

t^f per pound: on oil/ based on figures quoted in Memorandum Report # M-?6.
However, certain precaution# must be exercised because vof its fast to prevent to high* temperatures and to .
catalytic exothermic bodying/ Furthermore, certain revision# would have rapid bodying. tc^made in existing formulas to take care of this rp>pid bodying of Kelvitol
especially in limed varnishes, suoh as VO-950.
From the above hooking cycle of VO-950, it is seen that there is <5U
too rapid bodying after the addition of the lime to procure maximum
lime-rosin reaction. One method of improving this reaction would be to add the rosin at some point before a hair string from a curtain, such as at 1-3 inch string*
It should be recognised that bodied Kelvitol will probably act Therefore the
in a similar way In VC-950 type varnishes*s/d necessary revisions should
be made in the manufacturing direct ions when bodied. Kelvitol is used.
Kelvitol can be used to increase kettle capacity in the manufacture
of bodied oil and if varnishes with an increase in cost t^half a cent
for bodied' oils and a saving of three fourths of aJoent for the oil
