NEWS FROM Monsanto Chemical Company ST. LOUIS 24, MISSOURI For further information contact -- Public Relations Monsanto Chemical Company For RoImso IMMEDIATELY 1959 WYdcwn 3-1000 R. Sranet Kelly M.O. 4* Monsanto Chemical Co. Lindoargh & Olive Street Road St. Louis 24, Mo, ST. LOUIS, March 6 -- Monsanto Chemical Company has announced' the development of a new type of all-synthetic fluid for industrial hydraulic use which lubricates like a premium oil, is fire-resistant and all but impossible to wear out. Trademarked Pydraul A-200, the new fluid is a halogenated hydrocarbon formulation which Monsanto describes as Ma distant relative of petroleum, but so many chemical steps removed that its lubricating ability is the only remaining family trait." Pydraul A-200 will not ignite spontaneously at temperatures which are hot enough to melt aluminum. Its extreme stability prevents it from decomposing so that, with occasional filtering for atmospheric dirt, the fluid should last indefinitely, the company states. . Priced at $2.85 per gallon in tank car quantities, Pydraul A-200 differs from other all-synthetic hydraulic fluids chemically but is uniquely compatible with them. It can be used as make-up in present synthetic fluid-equipped systems with little or no conversion of equipment. - oOo - DSW 586049 STLCOPCB4091383
