Mo to build phenol A ant on West CoastConstruction of a new Monsanto plant to produce phenol will get underway in mid* year on an 83-acre site at Avon, California. The new unit, which will be in production In 1954, will supply phenol to contract customers of the growing West Coast in dustrial area. It also will supply the ex panding nerds of Monsanto's Pacific Coast manufacturing operations. Monsanto's West Coast plants make phenolic resin adhesives and various other phenolic resins. Future plans call for the addition of a number of industrial and agricultural chemicals to the western production. 1 ' FOAMING CONTROLLED Monsanto AFM--anew high-molecularweight alcohol ester--has definite defoam Ing applications. Also, other uses that yield ; economies in various processing operations. some AE-1 applications It is used as a dcfoainer in producing ethyl alcohol from molasses . . . dcfoainer in producing glycerol from fats ... for foam control in the manufacture of veast and othrr fermentations . . . control of foam in certain bottle-washing operations . . . solving foam problem in polystyrene latex water dispersions . . . lubricant for vinyls that arc extruded or calendered ... coplasticizer for rubber hydrochloride and chlorinated rubber. Tins list of uses may suggest some interest ing applications to you. If so, write for samples of AIM and T'cclmical Bulletin No. P-140. Higher detergency from synergistic action There are numerous places where the higher detergency clfccted through syner gistic action affords im|>ortant economics in industry cleaning and scouring. Synergism Is achieved by blending Santomerse* No."I and Monsanto tetrasoduim pyrophosphate with the result that their combined detergcncics arc higher than the average of the two when used separately; higher than the detergency of either. This effect is of particular consequence in many phases of textile processing. Many uses for TSPP Monsanto tetrasodium pyrophosphate is also widely used as a soap builder, house hold and industrial cleaner and detergent, in bleaching, in dye batlu as an assistant for putting certain types of dye in solution, in metal cleaning ...
