Now operating at Argonne National Laboratory. Beams of heavy ions are invaluable tools for probing atomic nuclei. The LINAC will be used to boost heavy ions from our existing tandem Van De Graaff Accelerator to provide ion beams of excellent...
Two new forms of nylon plastic are shown here. The large coil of stripping and the hank of smaller cross section filaments are the results of experimental production at DuPont's Arlington, New Jersey plant. These forms of nylon are strong, durable...
This all nylon surgical hand brush is made with long lasting Tynex nylon bristles and has a back molded of touch heat resistant Zytel nylon resin. Both back and bristles remain in excellent condition after repeated sterilization in the steam...
Far from its position in the textile apparel industry Orlon acrylic fiber does a tough job here where it serves as a filter on a giant filter press. Having qualities which can be adapted to rugged industrial assignment as well as high style, Orlon...
This cabinet made by Cyart Plastics Inc. of New York is constructed entirely of plastic-DuPont Lucite acrylic resin-even to dial face and control knobs. It is available in a variety of colors. Tonal qualities are reported to be excellent.
The creation of 'Teflon' at the Richmond, Virginia Plant
Controlled at this panel is equipment for refining the monomer and producing the polymer from which is made DuPont's unique industrial plastic-Teflon tetrafluoroethylene resin. Able to withstand high temperatures and the most corrosive acids,...
The creation of 'Teflon' at the Richmond, Virginia Plant
A laboratory technician places a piece of Teflon tetrafluoroethylene resin, a DuPont industrial plastic, in an instrument which measures the plastic's dielectric constant and power factor at 3000 megacycles. Because its dielectric loss factor is...
The creation of 'Teflon' at the Richmond, Virginia Plant
A circular piece of Teflon tetrafluoroethylene resin, a DuPont industrial plastic, placed between tinfoil electrodes, is being measured for its dielectric constant and power factor at 60 to 15,000 cycles. A laboratory technician adjusts the...
The creation of 'Teflon' at the Richmond, Virginia Plant
A laboratory technician places a disc of Teflon tetrafluoroethylene resin, a DuPont industrial plastic, in a high voltage testing set to measure its dielectric strength. The transformer oil bath serves as an insulator to prevent voltage flash over...
Standard vertical spindle drill presses of the fixed or radial head type are satisfactory for Lucite methyl methacrylate resin. Portable drills may be used, but even with special jigs they will not produce the most accurate results. Regular machine...
Vertical spindle wood shapers or routers give excellent results for both contour and step routing Lucite methyl methacrylate rein. On vertical spindle shapers, multiple blade cutters may be used. Square routing or shaping to templates, as shown,...
Standard vertical spindle drill presses of the fixed or radial head type are satisfactory for Lucite methyl methacrylate resin. Portable drills may be used, but even with special jibs they will not produce the most accurate results. Regular machine...
Butacite' polyvinyl butyral resin is used as inner layer of safety glass. Sheeting manufactured from this resin is of excellent clarity and color and is particularly resistant to the deteriorating influences of prolonged exposure to heat, light and...
The first commercial production of titanium metal resulted, in large part, from DuPont research. The metal has excellent corrosion resistance and strength-weight ratio. The world's first small scale commercial production of the ductile titanium...
Titanium metal is ductile and readily workable, as illustrated by these sample sheets, tubes and bars which were fabricated from DuPont metal on normal steel working equipment. Titanium has excellent strength-weight ratio and outstanding corrosion...
The field assemblies are shown under twenty feet of water and behind empty fuel hangers. For the high flux operation, the Atomic Energy Commission has converted a reactor from military to peaceful applications. The objectives of this operation are...
