Warren Wallace Makes Discovery in Polymer Technology!

[Leslie Judson Jones]

Warren Wallace came down from Illinois to have his Lunch Pail installed.

Warren spent three days with us here at Judson and we had a great time while he was here. I mentioned to Warren that we were going to be trying to develop a polymer-based defoamer, and Warren asked if he could give it a try.

I said, SURE! Put on a lab coat and your safety gear and start the experiments. After about an hour I decided to go in the lab and check on him to see how things were going and I believe he knows a little bit more about chemistry than he leads on. With Warren's first experiment, he nailed the formula.

I'm thankful Warren came down and helped me out on this. That is one less thing I'm going to have to figure out.

Nice.



But what's it's application?

 

[Warren Wallace]

Les thanks for making me look like a real chemist we both know better, but it was a great lesson.I had a great
at your shop and your staff did an amazing job on my truckmount.
Thank you my friend, Warren

How about some pics of the TM.

I hear that Defoamer is the next big rage in chemistry like EnCApsULaTIoN was to SHAMPOO.

But you must rename it to make it current with the times.

"No Bubbles"?


Lots of money in defoamer right now..............cash in.

I like the hightech mixing equipment

I made some discoveries in in polymer technology myself this week, Les.
You interested?!?

 

[Fred Homan]

Tell us more......

Around here when you go to mixing things in test tubes and beakers and things, the law shows up and you generally go to jail!

I discovered that if you tie a trash bag to a clothes line & light the bottom of it on fire it makes a cool noise as the little drops of burning plastic fall to the ground.
