Pails for Professionals
Custodians and housekeepers can do a better job in less time with less fatigue with a new assortment of pails for professionals introduced by Vistron Corporation. For washing and rinsing when soapy and clear water are both wanted or when both hot and cold water are needed, Vistron's 16-quart divided pail is a must. For routine jobs, a conventional pail is offered in two sizes: 11 quart and 16 quart capacity. Both sizes have the no-spill spout and a sculptured handle in the base so it won't slip while pouring. All pails have steel handles and molded handgrips for easier carrying. They're heavy-duty, seamless and leakproof, of course. Vistron makes them in two colors: white and gray.

Oxychloride Flooring
Basic Chemicals, a division of Basic Incorporated, Cleveland, Ohio, announces the availability of OxyMag, a new, improved oxychloride flooring grade magnesium oxide made from natural calcined magnesite.
Oxychloride flooring, because of its high strength, color versatility and variable surface finishes, is ideal in installations ranging from apartment houses and restaurants to schools, hospitals and factories. It is more resilient than any other floor of comparable strength. Its range of thickness permits the straightening of floors or sloping to drains.
Oxychloride flooring is unaffected by grease, oils and solvents, and its sanitary characteristics discourage bacteria and fungi growth.
For more information contact Basic Chemicals, 845 Hanna Building, Cleveland, Ohio 44115, (216) 241-5000.
Skin Anti-irritant
Skin irritation and burns are often caused by the highly alkaline hydroxides of lime found in wet cement, or by the dry powder acting on perspiration of the skin with the same effect. Cement workers, bricklayers, cement mill and quarry workers can prevent this irritant action with Kerodex No. 71. A greaseless, stainless, barrier cream, the product can be applied to hands, forearms, face, neck, and also ankles if exposed. The cream will protect against the action of wet cement on the skin, and the action of dry powder particles in the air which react with perspiration. Kerodex is sold directly to industry by Ayerst Laboratories, 685 Third Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10017. Individual 4 oz. tubes are available at drugstores. Literature and price list available on request.
