Announces New Process lor Celotex Products

By means of a new process, applied during manufacture, all Celotex cane fibre products are now rendered practically impervious to the natural agencies of decay and also to termite attack, according to an announcement just made by B. G. Dahlberg, president of The Celotex Company. He states that this process, known as the Ferox process, is the result of ten years of continuous experimental research and over two years of actual production of treated prodircts for tropical countries.

"The Ferox process," states Mr. Dahlberg, "is a proven method-demonstrated in the tropics where the attacks ,of termites and decav are most viciouswherebv each fibre, in its wet state and before formation into a board, is coated with a chemical complex which is toxic to fungi, termites and other cellulose destroying organisms. This chemical complex is insoluble in water, non-volatile, odorless, permanent, and in no way alters the physical properties or utility of the finished products. The treated Celo" tex products present no hazard to humans or domestic animals.

"It should be particularly noted," he points out, "that the Ferox process is an integral treatment-not a surface treatment-and that it does not alter the usual physical properties of Celotex. An integral treatment u'as adopted rather than a surface treatment because with the latter if material is cut or damaged the exposed portion is subject to attack, and also because treatments that discolor the product or otherwise alter its physical properties are a distinct disadvantage since such treatments require dealers to carry special stocks of limited utility."
