Even since Diamond Shamrock got into chlorine and caustic soda, its chlorine and caustic soda have been getting into almost everything.

Chances are that no matter what you make, one or more of

Diamond Shamrock's electro chemicals are essential in making it.

Are you in plastics? Synthetic detergents and soaps? Do you produce drugs, dyes,

refrigerants? Involved in making paper or textiles? Then one of the basic chemical

components you count on is chlorine — one of the basic industrial chemicals

made by Diamond Shamrock. Maybe you're a food processor or a

petroleum refiner. Or a manufacturer of aluminum. Then you know the

importance of caustic soda. But do you know that Diamond Shamrock

is not only an important producer of essential caustic, both liquid and dry, but

is the only "all forms" supplier of caustic to vital industries like yours?

You may already be using our chlorinated paraffins for flame retardance in your

product. Or using our chlorinated solvents for metal degreasing and to produce any

of a range of products all the way from perfumes to paint removers.

And if you're in the laundry and

drycleaning business, we're helping you offer better, fresher and brighter

cleaning and garment care. How do we keep up with such growing

demands? By keeping our production capacity growing ahead of them. Not

long ago, we boosted production of Chlorowax® 500C by a whopping 50

percent in our Painesville, Ohio works. And soon, our new, modern 100-acre

complex at Battleground, Texas will go on-stream, jumping our production

capacities for chlorine and liquid caustic soda more than 60 percent. To help

keep our supply of the chemicals you need equal to your demand. And

our deliveries smack on schedule with your requirements. Want to know more
