New Folder
Extrudo Film Corporation has just published an illustrated, three-color folder on Vapofilm which is designed to assist architects and contractors in specifying and using the film in a variety of construction applications. Vapofilm is Extrudo's custom formulated polyethylene film for construction, industrial and agricultural applications.
The new four-page folder is printed on heavy coated stock and is designed as a functional, standard size file folder for easy storage and rapid reference. A full width index tab lists both a product identification and the A.LA. file number covering such materials. Detailed use specifications-arranged in easy-to-read vertical columns are given for major applications where Vapofilm is an integral part of the structure. These include: slab-on-grade construction; subfloor vapor barrier for both tile and wood flooring; window sill concealed flashing for both wood siding exterior and masonry veneer exterior; and exterior walls and ceilings. Specific information on material size, preparation, and installation, as well as a detailed drawing showing proper positioning of the film is given for each application.

Diamond Blade
Clipper Manufacturing Co., a leading manufacturer of masonry and concrete sawing equipment, is now marketing a new "general purpose" diamond blade known at the MD-542T.
Over 60,000 test cuts have proved that this Clipper MD-542T gives good life and cutting speed on block, brick and glazed tile. It gives a finer finish cut on tile than any previous "general purpose" blade.
The reasons for the success of this new Clipper blade are: 1. Blocky shaped diamonds which will withstand the pressures of high speed sawing better than the slivers of diamonds used in ordinary diamond blades. 2. Special manufacturing processes and equipment, including 100 ton presses and 2500 degree farenheit furnaces, which enable Clipper to perform modern miracles in metallurgy. 3. Exacting quality controls which assure uniformity and coated and performance requirements. Peterson Chemical Company, Box 191, Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
Precision Concrete Block
Manufactured by licensed plants across the country. Jewel-Tex Block is a precision cast concrete block, similar in size and structure to the standard concrete block, but with an exposed aggregate face manufactured direct on the block, Walls of Jewel-Fex Block can be erected in less me and at about one-third the cost of ordinary exposed aggregate facing systems.
Since the decorative face is manufactured eas part of th Block and cannot be removed, he Jewel-Tex Block has a definite advantage over conventional masonry veneers which may deteriorate from freeze-thaw cycles and water seepage behind the fice.
The surface of the block may be any one or combination of the 15 distinctive aggregates available and the natural stones retain their fall color and brilliance permanently, with no maintenance required. The built-in waterproofing properties of Jewel-Tex Block prevent penetration of outside moisture even during the most severe driving storm, but still allow vapor transferance from within.
