Philadelphia Laboratory April 2, 1946 ' iHI TO MARSHALL LABORATORY LI8M8? fALL OIL YABKISBES this will .advise that v have developed a 25 gallon-tall oil varnish based on Cooper5 Creek Refined fall Oil-which appears eomparabl in film properties to 0-5269, a 25 gallon vehicle for floor @namls, fhis experimental product Is a maleic modified tall oil esterified with P.1, and subsequently treated with para formal dehyde to produce a varnish of body F, color 6.5, solids 52$, ana acid number 18,2, * . have checked this vehicle in Dark Stone Floor Enamel and find it to' be comparable to our present floor enamel except for having a slightly slower initial dry. Overnight dry, however, is satisfactory, Practical wear tests have been started and after on week the tall oil vehicle is equal to the control,' A release let ter can b written on this product- for use in 402. Lin when it seen desirable to do so or when a supply of tall oil is available. fhe.Purchasing Department is attempting to determine the availability of tall oil at this time, although the market is very tight. Vs-have information. that Sherwin-Villiasas and Pittsburgh Plate Glass have been consuming this rev material in large quanti ties for sosi time. We have nov pushed development for the use of this product to a suitable end point to.take advantage of its nonreportable feature and its money savings, in vise of the critical-oil situation at this time, it Is highly desirable that-a great deal of consideration be given to possible outlets for this material. She oil savings, of course, will depend upon the amount of tall oil available and the money sav ings will be appreciable, the varnish described above (PfC-P-dO^OT) mhaving a raw material cost of 50& compared to raw materials cost of for 0-5269. About 3 quarts of this varnish- is available for any formulation work which la desirable and further quantities can b mad up if required.

Information just received from Works Supply indicates that we can probably obtain 3 or 4 tank cars per month and we should therefore push our exploitation. O.H.W. 1 DUP030002879
