Over 25 years ago, Rohm & Haas pioneered the com­mercial production of acrylates and methacrylatcs, and since then has led in acrylic research and process develop­ment . To increase the availability of acrylics and to lower their cost, we developed economical processes for the synthèse.·» of the monomers and made multi-million dollar investments in plant facilities in Houston, Texas to de­rive from natural gas and air many of the necessary inter­mediates— carbon monoxide, ammonia, hydrogen cya­nide, acetylene, and methanol.

How does this benefit you? Our long experience can help you in the transportation, storage, and handling of these monomers. Also, prices have been dropped — in the case of ethyl acrylate, from 49c to 34c per pound in the last 5 years. Furthermore, Rohm & Haas offers the widest selec­

tion of commercially available acrylic monomers, plus many acrylic monomers available in development quan­tities. You can polymerize these monomers, copolymcrizc them with a large number of other monomers, or use them as intermediates in reactions other thian polymeriza­tion.
