|  | 1953-58
Development of butyl and halobutyl latex, making possible aqueous dispersions of butyl polymers in colloidal systems for tire cord adhesion in the all-butyl tire.
1954
Purchase of the butyl plants at Baytown, Texas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana from the federal government.
1954-61
Development of the technology for an all-butyl tire which was manufactured and marketed by several major tire companies.
Possessed unique traction, cornering and age resistant and energy absorbing properties.
The technical achievement of the all-butyl tire heightened awareness of this polymer's hysteretic properties which impacts on traction and rolling resistance.
1956-61
Development of the technology to produce chlorobutyl.
