This is a report on a fatal acci dent that occurred in an acetylene manufacturing plant. The operator was found lying across the top of an open calcium carbide generator feed hopper, with his head inside the filler hole. Apparently he had placed his VYTHENE'S NOT says Robert M. Elrick Vice-President of Tect, Inc. NEW! "TECT, Inc. was first in the effective stabilization of 1, 1, 1-trichloroethane: first offering VYTHENE in early 1954." Nearly all 1, 1, 1-Trichloroetbane on the market is stabilized on the principles developed by TECT, INC. This stabili zation has been an absolute necessity in the general use of the product, as the unstabilized solvent reacts violently with aluminum and corrodes iron and steel. VYTHENE may be used for an enormous variety of cleaning and process applications, due to its low toxicity, stability, solvent power, and fast evaporation rate. PROVED BY USE for six years in hundreds of America's leading industrial plants, VYTHENE is still tops in stability. VYTHENE is modified in more than 40 different ways for special applications to specifically suit customer needs and reduce costs. Write for details, samples and name of your nearest distributor. Here's Dramatic Proof of VYTHENE'S Stability! After 2000 hours of refluxing with aluminum in all three stages, VYTHENE is still stable, crystal c le a r. . . no corrosion of metal.
