Designed to Fit Your Needs

If you want the purest phosphoric acid produced in the world today—or if you prefer the more economical grades—there is a V-C Phosphoric Acid to meet your requirements.

-?

V-C 85% N. F . Grade surpasses National Formulary and American Chemical Society specifications and meets all U. S. Food and Drug Administration regulations. This odorless, water-white, sparkling-clear, syrupy liquid is made from elemental phosphorus in fully-carboned equipment and has exceptional utility where unsurpassed purity is indicated.

In addition to 85% N. F. Phosphoric Acid of the highest purity, Virginia-Carolina Chemical Corporation also produces: 75% Food Grade, the standard of the industry; 80% Food Grade, the maxi­mum practical strength to avoid freezing; Polyphosphoric Acids by the admixture of Phosphoric Anhydride and Orthophosphoric Acid; and any type or grade ranging from dilute (26% P2O5) wet-process acid to 99.5% pure Phosphoric Anhydride.

These acids are shipped from a plant near you, in glass carboys, stainless steel drums, rubber-lined tank trucks or tank cars. Deliveries can be made in hours, not weeks. Get full infor­mation now! Your inquiry will receive immediate attention.

Basic in Phosphorus T H E BASIC POSITION of Virginia-

Carolina Chemical Corporation in phosphorus and i ts growing family of useful compounds is t he result of nearly a century of progressive pioneering, including this country 's first mining of phosphate rock in 1868 and first commercial produc­tion of phosphoric acid in 1907.

T h e greatest V-C growth in phos­phorus has occurred in recent years. V-C phosphate mining activities have been steadily expanded and thoroughly mechanized. New V-C furnaces for producing elemental phosphorus are among the most modern now in operation.

V-C h a s five p h o s p h o r i c acid plants and is the only manufacturer of phosphoric acids both by the

"wet process" and by phosphorus conversion. O t h e r V-C faci l i t ies yield phosphoric anhydride, sodium orthophosphates and sodium poly­phosphates, phosphatic specialties, and sodium metasilicate.

A V-C organophosphorus plant is in large scale production of alkyl phosph i t e s , p h o s p h o n a t e s , phos -phorothioates, and other new organ-ics. A semi-works unit is pioneering wi th new a n d h igh ly p romis ing chemical groupings based on phos­phorus.

Enterprising research and pro­gressive development are V-C tradi­tions, constantly improving present products and processes, creating new products for new uses, opening new frontiers for chemical progress.
