Autoclave Treatment of Lignophol&t
6. The Institute reportedly has developed also a method of pressing "lignophole" in
autoolaves, by means of which articles of the most intricate shapes car. be
produced quickly and cheaply:
(a) The sheets are placed on a mold and put into a hermetically sealer ubber
bag. The rubber, by suction, presses the sheets tightly against the mold.
(b) The rubber bag and its contents are placed in an autoclave and prei'sed.
7. Skis, parts of furniture, radio cases and other containers are made by
autoclave process. Soviet experts have approved even vital parts of.a_;. raft
such as propellers, longerons and other fuselage parts.
ether MaterialE Combined with %ignoa2i-e"
8, When other materials are combined with "lignophole" their properties are. improved.
Wire nets, metal sheets, textiles and rubber become more durable when r.t.ndwiched
between sheets of "lignophole," "Lig,nophole" v "IL pressed-in steel net. can be
used for automobile bodies and the sheathing; for cutters.
"asgandhoil cTncombination$ also shoots gas and oil.. . This can be employed in bridge sonsstruc:ion. and in
radio masts.
"Litnophole" Trea tar . Mirth Phenol Resin
10. when "lignophole" is impregnated with phenol resin it acquirer resistalica to
chemicals and becomes a nonconductor of electricity. These properties make it
suitable for chemiclal and electrical equipment.
