AN INVITATION TO EXPERIMENT

W e are cont inual ly formulat ing molybdenum chemicals for potential use in new processes and products.

Twenty such compounds are now available for your immediate investi­gation. You can obtain data sheets containing basic information on all of them by simply mailing us a post card. When you would like to probe their possibilities in specific situations, we'll be glad to supply research quantities without charge.

There's a good chance that moly chemicals may put you on the track of something new. W e hope they do. You're invited to experiment.

Board of Directors authorizes $1 million in PRF grants The ACS Board of Directors, at the 159th national meeting in Houston last month, authorized 58 one-, two-, and three-year Petroleum Research Fund grants totaling $1,004,958. These are in addition to the 54 new grants for 1970 previously announced (C&EN, Jan. 5, page 45) . Requests for application forms, directions on

the preparation of Type AC, B, and G proposals, and additional informa­tion about the ACS-PRF program may be addressed to Petroleum Research Fund, American Chemical Society, 1155-16th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. The deadline for receipt of proposals for 1970 ACS-PRF Type G "starter grants" is June 1.

\tAj0\ TWO \\^J NEW AEROSOL®

Surface Active Agents! Cyanamid is proud to present the two new­est additions to its line of sulfosuccinate-type surface active agents...AEROSOL A-102 and AEROSOL A-103. These surfact­ants are derived from nonionic ethoxylates and since they combine in one surfactant molecule both nonionic and anionic char­acter, they offer tremendous versatility. While both of these new AEROSOL surfact­ants have been primarily investigated for use in emulsion polymerization, the physi­cal, chemical and surface active properties indicate a wide variety of end uses.
