Geon * GEON is the name used to designate a group of thermoplastic resins which impart to finished products such properties as resistance to water, chemicals, abrasion, sun, mildew and most other normally destructive factors. GEON can be pressure or injection molded, extruded, calen­dered or cast into sheet or film. It is available in powder, paste-forming resin, polyblend (GEON-HYCAR) and latex forms. Products made from GEON may be brilliantly or delicately colored. The suitcase shown here is an example of a product made from calendered sheet.

K B I S T O N KRISTON designates a group of thermosetting resins with many unusual properties. Products made from KRISTON may have excellent optical properties, unusually good electrical properties plus resistance to most normally destructive factors. As the clock at the left shows, products made from KRISTON can be most decorative in this and other forms such as jewelry, buckles, buttons, frames, desk sets, coasters, ash trays and many others. KRISTON is a relatively new product, and we invite sug­gestions and inquiries as to possible applications.

Hy€ar HYCAR is the name applied to a group of American rubbers that have found wide usage in both consumer and industrial products. Typical are the household items shown at right which, like other products made from HYCAR, resist water, grease and oil, heat, aging, abrasion and many other destructive factors. HYCAR OR-15 is excep­tionally oil resistant, and is an important material in the oil fields as well as in general industry. HYCAR and GEON may be blended for certain uses to impart to finished products the most favorable properties of each. (Products courtesy of Wooster Rubber Co., Wooster, Ohio.)
