is meant the solids after the liquid or slop
has been drained off.

Chemistry Provides New Colors for New Cars
In Detroit this spring, automotive engi
neers and designers were shown a dozen
cars finished in glowing colors never be
fore seen on any automobile—colors
that diffused and reflected light back to
the eye from within the finish instead of
from the surface.
These new ”Duco” Metalli-Chrome
lacquers which attracted industry-wide
attention are expected to give new
beauty and durability to America’s cars.
The story behind their development is
an interesting one.
New Techniques for Pigment
Preparation
As many commercial pigments are now
made, they are precipitated from chem
ical solutions in the form of fine parti
cles, which are then dried, ground and
reground with a liquid vehicle to pro
duce the final paint, enamel or lacquer.
The fineness of the particle-size largely
determines the luster of the finish. Al
though mechanically ground pigment
particles can be made extremely fine,
they are not nearly as small as the par
ticles originally precipitated.
A few years ago a program of research
was started by Du Pont scientists to
try to take advantage of the very fine
particles formed by precipitation. They
proposed to eliminate the drying and
grinding processes entirely—to trans
fer the microscopically sized, precipita
ted, hydrated pigment particles directly
from the mother solution to the lacquer
vehicle.
Extended study by organic and col
loid chemists, physicists and chemical
engineers finally solved this problem.
The procedure consists of mixing the
wet pigment in a heavy-duty mill with
water-wetnitrocellulose,dibutyl phthal-
ate and castor oil. Dibutyl phthalate
forms a colloidal solution with nitro
cellulose. The colloid absorbs the castor
oil and pigment, but eliminates the
major portion of the water as a sepa
rate insoluble phase.
!
A New Range of Color Effects
After the method of transferring wet
pigment particles had been established,
the second development in this program
was the practical utilization of precipi
tated ferric hydroxide. Although it had
been used for a long time as an inter
mediate for the manufacture of dry fer
ric oxide pigment, ferric hydroxide in
the wet form as a pigment had been ap
plied only to a very limited extent and
its true value had gone unrecognized.
When used in conjunction with the new
process, wet ferric hydroxide produced
a lacquer of unusual brilliance and dur
ability. In combination with other pig
ments, a whole new range of color effects
became possible.
Because of their extremely small pig
ment particle-size, the Metalli-Chromes
are somewhat translucent, having a dis
tinctive, soft innerglow. This lustrous
depth is further enhanced by introducing
into the film aluminum particles which
act like mirrors to reflect the light with
in the finish.
Not only are these new lacquer fin
ishes more lustrous and more beautiful,
but they are also more durable, as proved
by four years of laboratory and road-
testing. "Duco” Metalli-Chrome lac
quer is a worthy newcomer to the ever-

WILL I FIND COMPETITION
DIFFICULT AT DU PONT?
It is to be expected that there will be
competition in an organization where
every effort is made to select the best
trained and most promising graduates.
However, such competition is not de
liberate or is it on an elimination basis.
New employees are given every oppor
tunity to grow in the organization.

ate students will be interested in the new
