 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 68° F. to at least twice their original 

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

length. 

* Includes oil content of on-extended elastomers. 

3

 Calculated from unrounded figures. 

4

 More than four-fifth of SBR elastomer production Is the dry type of product. 

6

 Includes butyl, chlorinated natural rubber, chlorinated polyethylene, epichlorohydrin, fluoroelastomers, potyacryfic 

ester type, polybutadiene type (emulsion), polychloroprene (neoprene) type, potylsoprenes (including cyclorubber), 

poly sulfide, and miscellaneous elastomers.

"Surface-Active Agents." 4

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

Production of Selected Organic Chemicals (including Synthetic Plastics and Resin Materials), 1987, results from a 

combination of incorrect reporting by some companies, end-of-year Inventory adjustments, and rounding. 9

 Synthetic ethyl alcond is conventionally defined as that portion made from ethylene. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
