...Ismet drove to Izmid, seized a trowel, laid the cornerstone of a paper factory designed to produce 35 tons of newsprint per day, or almost one-half of Turkey's present consumption. "Most of the raw materials," cried General Ismet, "we shall obtain locally, such as wood pulp, kaolin, resin and alum...
Plastics. Carleton Ellis, Montclair, N. J. research chemist, surveyed modern developments in synthetic resins. Best known ones are those made from phenol and formaldehyde (Bakelite, Durez), urea and formaldehyde (Unyte, Plaskon, Beetle), glycerol and phthalic anhydride (Glyptal, Rezyl), and vinyl compounds (Vinylite). Other trade names: Tornesite, Thiokol, Plioform, Victron. With Bakelite starting the grand march they have been widely used in small molded shapes. Late developments make it possible to mold large objects (chair backs and legs, table tops, radio cabinets) from plastics. Tanks nine feet in diameter have been molded from Haveg, a phenol-aldehyde. Textiles can be impregnated...
...Flexible Resin. Since Dr. Leo Hendrik Baekeland invented Bakelite from carbolic acid & formaldehyde and demonstrated how useful and profitable such artificial resins may be, a new division of plastics has developed in chemistry. New product is "glyptal," a flexible material which /. G. E. Wright declared is better than rubber or leather for printing machine rollers. It can be used for lithographic rolls and blankets, oil-proof gaskets, floor coverings, special sheetings for the balloonets of dirigibles, gasoline and oil hose, motor-mountings, tooth brushes...
...with trip-hammer rights, straight lefts, and backed away. Crouching again, Battalino sprang after him, savagely knocked Petrolle down with another torrent of blows. Petrolle is one of the ring's sagest fighters. He knelt till the count of nine, stalled for more time by wiping the resin off his gloves on the referee's shirt. Then, steadied, he resumed his fearful slashing of Battalino's face for ten rounds, stabbing precisely, murderously, at length wearily. Again the ring canvas was red with Battalino's blood from nose, lips, eyes, scalp. Again Battalino kept wading forward...
