Chemicals for Industry

This is a very good copy of the rare 1959 publication, Chemicals for Industry, issued by the Rohm & Haas Company to commemorate the golden anniversary of their American operations from 1909 to 1959. Bound in its original grey-blue textured cloth hardcovers, the book features bold, bright gilt lettering on both the front board and the spine, showing only minor shelf wear and rubbing along the corners and spine edges. The 188-page volume serves as both a detailed corporate history and an illustrated technical catalog, featuring historical insights and vintage photography of mid-century industrial chemistry operations, processing laboratories, and early plastics production—including the company's pioneering development of Plexiglas. Inside, the binding remains tight and structurally sound, and the text block is clean, bright, and securely bound. This scarce anniversary volume represents an exceptional reference piece for collectors of historical corporate archives, business histories, and the history of science and industry in America.
