Title: Testing the heat resistance of H film
Date(s): 1955
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: Heat resistance of the new H film is demonstrated in a laboratory at DuPont's Experimental Station. The film is made form polymers that DuPont scientists have been working on for many years. The company is also investigating their uses as plastics, industrial finishes and coatings. DuPont is building a plant at Circleville, Ohio to manufacture H film, which has a range of properties that make it interesting for aerospace applications and in the electrical field.

Title: This is the way we wash our hands
Date(s): 1944
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: To make a test of the new salt water soap developed for the Army say Louise Feldman left, and Frances Montgomery, chemists in the DuPont Technical Laboratory at Deepwater Point, New Jersey. Miss Montgomery, using the new soap khaki colored for camouflage, got the heavy fuel oil off her hand quicker and more easily that Miss Feldman who used ordinary soap.

Show moreTo make a test of the new salt water soap developed for the Army say Louise Feldman left, and Frances Montgomery, chemists in the DuPont Technical Laboratory at Deepwater Point, New Jersey. Miss Montgomery, using the new soap khaki colored for camouflage, got the heavy fuel oil off her hand quicker and more easily that Miss Feldman who used ordinary soap. Secret of the new soap's success is a special synthetic detergent, know n only as MP-646, developed by DuPont chemists. Both the laboratory basins contain salt water, often the only kid available to soldiers for bathing and laundry in some theaters of war.
