While this was going on, the Standard Oil Com- | pany came out with an announcement that its sci- entists have worked out a chemircal process to produce raw materials for 1,440,000 tons of Buna-S and butyl synthetic rubber before 1943. This new process seems to mark the most important advance in the tech- nology of synthetic rubber in 10 years, Right now, the War Production Board has au- thorized the expenditure of $800,000,000 for the con- struction of plants in which 800,000 tons of rubber will be synthetized annually. Of these 800,000 tons, 700,000 will be Buna-S, 60,000 butyl rubber derived from petroleum, and 40,000 neopiene, a du Pont prod- made from acetylene and chlorine. The 60,000 tons of butyl rubber will come from some of the 34 plants licensed or owned by Standard 0il Company to go into operation between August, 1942, and August, 1943 Two synthetic rubbers are involved. One is Buna- S, which consists of much butadiene and some stry- ene; the other is butyl rubber, which consists of much isobutylene and a little butadiene. uet Butadiene is an essential raw material which_is much ‘more difficult to produce than isobutylene and rubber. Until recently, butane, a refinery gas, was labor- jously converted into butylene, and the butylene in turn into butadiene. More butylene could be pro- duced only at the cost of aviation gasoline. With the new process, not only is it possible to produce the butylene without additional plants, but styrene, and has been the bottleneck in synthesizing | be depr THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUNE 19 Mrs. Kaarlo W.
