Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing industrial organic
chemicals. Important products of this group include: (1) noncyclic organic
chemicals, such as acetic, chloroacetic, adipic, formic, oxalic and
tartaric acids, and their metallic salts; chloral, formaldehyde, and
methylamine; (2) solvents such as amyl, butyl, and ethyl alcohols;
methanol; amyl, butyl and ethyl acetates; ethyl ether, ethylene glycol
ether, and diethylene glycol ether; acetone, carbon disulfide, and
chlorinated solvents, such as carbon tetrachloride, perchloroethylene, and
trichloroethylene; (3) polyhydric alcohols, such as ethylene glycol,
sorbitol, pentaerythritol, synthetic glycerin; (4) synthetic perfume and
flavoring materials, such as coumarin, methyl salicylate, saccharin,
citral, citronellal, synthetic geraniol, ionone, terpineol, and synthetic
vanillin; (5) rubber processing chemicals, such as accelerators and
antioxidants, both cyclic and acyclic; (6) plasticizers, both cyclic and
acyclic, such as esters of phosphoric acid, phthalic anhydride, adipic
acid, lauric acid, oleic acid, sebacic acid, and stearic acid; (7)
synthetic tanning agents, such as naphthalene sulfonic acid condensates;
(8) chemical warfare gases; (9) esters, amines, etc., of polyhydric
alcohols and fatty and other acids; (10) cyclic crudes and intermediates;
(11) cyclic dyes and organic pigments; and (12) natural gum and wood
