 The term 'elastomers' Is defined as substances in bale, crumb, powder, latex, and other crude forms which can 

be vulcanized or similarly processed Into materials that can be stretched at 68s F. to at least twice their original 

length and, after having been stretched and the stress removed, will return wtth force to approximately their original 

length. 

2

 Includes oil content of oil-extended elastomers. 3

 Calculated from unrounded figures. 4

 More than three-fourths of SBR elastomer production Is the dry type of product. 6

 Includes butyl, chlorinated natural rubber, eplchlorohydrin, fluoroelastomers, polyacrylic ester type, polybutadlene 

type (emulsion), polychloroprene (neoprene) type, polylsobutylene type, polylsoprenes (Including cyclorubber), 

poly sulfide, silicone type, styrene-butadlene-vinylpyrldlne type (sales only), thermoplastic elastomers (such as 

styrene-block copolymers, thermoplastic olefin elastomers, and copolyesters), and miscellaneous elastomers.

 Calculated from unrounded figures. 

* Statistics exclude production and sales of fatty amines. Statistics on fatty amines are Included In the section 

'Surface-Active Agents." 

3

 The difference between the production reported here and that shown on the Preliminary Report on U.S. Production 

of Selected Organic Chemicals (Including Synthetic Plastics and Resin Materials, 1986, results from a combination of 

Incorrect reporting by some companies, end-of-year Inventory adjustments, and rounding. 

4

 Statistics exclude production and sales of potassium and sodium stearates. Statistics on these stearates are 

Included in the section "Surface-Active Agents." 

* Statistics for production of specially denatured alcohol, 208.4 million wine gallons, and completely denatured 

alcohol, 198.4 million wine gallons, for calendar year 1986 are compiled from data supplied by the Bureau of Alcohol, 

Tobacco, and Firearms. Withdrawals of completely denatured alcohol were 242.8 million wine gallons, of which 94 

percent were used for fuel. (These withdrawals Included Imported alcohol.) 

* Some polyols which are used as Intermediates for urethanes have been included In the section "Plastics and Resin 

Materials." 

7

 Statistics exclude production and sales of silicone resins (see 'Plastics and Resin Materials* section), silicone 

elastomers (see Elastomers section), and silicone greases (see "Miscellaneous End-Use Chemicals and Chemical 

Products* section).
