INTRODUCTION
The Monsanto TERPHENYLS are a series of hydro carbon solids ranging in melting point from a little above room temperature to as high as 210C. (4lOF.).
Monsanto TERPHENYLS have found use as plasticizers,
softening agents, wax additives and extenders, and
in paper coatings. Various properties of the TER
PHENYLS are presented in this bulletin to facilitate
the selection of the proper one for specific appli
cations .
