Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Life-Saver for
Men and Materials
A SIGNIFICANT development to come out of the first
World War was a black, granular substance known as
activated carbon.
Particles of this material are so highly porous and
have such tremendous active surface area, that they can
pick up and hold surprising amounts of toxic gases,
volatile vapors, and odors. Developed by NATIONAL
CARBON COMPANY, INC., a Unit of UCC, to meet the
specific menace of gas warfare, activated carbon saved
many lives during the last war as an important ingre-
dient in gas mask canisters.
After the Armistice, this amazing material was further
developed by CARBIDE AND CARBON CHEMICALS
CORPORATION, another Unit of UCC, for numerous
industrial uses. As a result of this work, one type of
activated carbon is now saving millions of gallons of
such essential solvents as alcohol, ethyl acetate, ether,
and acetone, previously lost through evaporation in
manufacturing processes. This is accomplished by
passing vapor-laden air from solvent-using processes
through tanks containing COLUMBIA activated carbon,
and then steaming the solvents out of the carbon.
This year, in smokeless powder plants, plants making
plastics, and in other plants engaged in war work,
it is estimated that savings will amount to over 100
million gallons of Solvents.
And the work of activated carbon is just beginning.
Through the constant research that typifies all UCC
Units, CARBIDE AND CARBON CHEMICALS CORPORATION
has developed still newer uses which are contributing
to the nation's health and welfare.
