Subject: Use of Ludwigshafen in case of
mobilization*
I.G. Farbenindustrie had approached Control Office
Chemistry with the question whether Ludwigshafen could continue production in
case of mobilization, and if it could be counted upon that Ludwigshafen would
be furnished with the raw materials for the products to be manufactured.
Concerning the question of raw materials, the gentlemen of the IG stated that
Ludwigshafen itself was able to manufacture all raw materials for its products,
with the exception of benzene and toluene, for which Ludwigshafen was dependent
upon delivery from other places. The allocation required for benzene by the IG
appears as follows: |
| |
| |
For dyes |
160 tons
|
| |
For polystyrene |
182
tons |
| |
For styrene (for buna) |
140
tons |
| |
For betaphenylnaphthylamine |
70 tons |
| |
For chloracetophenone [Omegasalz] |
75 tons
|
| |
For dinitrodiphenylamine |
50 tons |
|
| |
The total requirements, according to the reports of the IG, which
would amount to 805 tons per month of 90 percent benzene. Toluene for
Ludwigshafen could be produced from this.
In order to get an over-all
picture of the requirements of raw materials and labor, those products which
can only be manufactured exclusively, or for the greater part, in Ludwigshafen
are shown in the following plan for Ludwigshafen in case of mobilization:
|
| |
Ethylene chlorohydrin:
preliminary product for the products
of Roehm & Haas.
Ethylene oxide from spirits: for diglycol and thiodiglycol,
also for glycol. |
