T. & N. (Turner & Newall) is to sell its glass fibres business, T-Glass Fibres, to PPG Industries Ir!c., the second largest pro- ducer of continuous filament glass fibre in the world. T-Glass

Fibres produce a range of continuous filament in a number of forms, and its capacity will be more than doubled by expansion plans envisaged by PPG Industries.

Crowley Chemical in the U.S. say that its aromatic petroleum extender designated Viplex 895-~L costs about half the price of DEHP, and can be used in PVC plastisols (where colour is unimportant) to replace up to a half of DEHP. DEHP prices, in common with other primary plasticizers, continue to rise.

Air Products Nederland BV has issued a new data sheet which lists the typical properties and reactivity, cure, post-cure, storage and handling information on Amicure 101 curing agent for epoxy resin systems.

A new brochure, entitled "The Utilization of Colour Concentrates," is now available from Reed Plastics Corporation, Holden Indus- trial Park, Holden, MA01520 (U.S.).

The brochure first reviews the range of different colouring methods available to plastics manufacturers, then provides in- depth information on how colour concentrates are made and used within the plastics manufacturing business. The eight page booklet also contains a glossary of common terminology used in the colour concentrates industry and describes the advantages of using concentrates over other types of colourants.
