ACKNOWLEDGMENT 


In  the  preparation  of  this  report,  the  Commission  had  the  services 
of  W.  F.  SterHng  and  Bertha  M.  Robertson  of  the  Chemical  Division, 
and  of  others. 


SYNTHETIC  ORGANIC  CHEMICALS,  UNITED  STATES 
PRODUCTION  AND  SALES,  1939 

INTRODUCTION 

The  United  States  Tariff  Commission's  twenty-third  annual  report 
on  the  production  and  sales  of  synthetic  organic  chemicals  in  the 
United  States  includes  all  synthetic  organic  chemicals  grouped  under 
the  following  classifications:  Coal-tar  crudes,  intermediates,  dyes, 
color  lakes,  and  toners;  coal-tar  and  non-coal-tar  medicinals,  flavors, 
and  perfume  materials,  resins,  rubber  chemicals,  and  miscellaneous 
chemicals.  For  the  first  time  separate  figures  are  shown  for  non-coal- 
tar  rubber  chemicals,  and  for  plasticizers,  both  coal-tar  and  non- 
coal-tar.  Among  the  synthetic  products  reported  first  in  1939  are 
synthetic  ephedrine,  sulfapyridine,  and  hormones. 

Many  of  the  basic  products  included  in  this  report  are  essential  to 
national  well-being  and  to  national  defense.  Toluol  (p.  6)  and 
phenol  (p.  14)  are  the  raw  materials  for  the  very  important  military 
explosives,  trinitrotoluene  and  picric  acid,  and  are  considered  by  the 
War  Department  to  be  critical  materials. 

Incidental  to  the  collection  of  production  and  sales  statistics,  the 
Commission  has  from  time  to  time  compiled  data  on  research  ex- 
penditures by  the  synthetic  organic  chemical  industry  in  order  to 
obtain  information  on  the  relationship  between  research  and  develop- 
ment in  the  industry.  A  summary  of  research  expenditures  in  1939 
is  shown  in  appendix  A  of  this  report. 

The  Tariff  Commission  also  cooperates  with  the  Department  of 
Commerce  in  the  analysis  of  imports  of  coal-tar  intermediates  and 
finished  products.  These  data  are  issued  semiannually  by  the  De- 
partment of  Commerce.^  A  summary  of  the  data  obtained  in  these 
analyses  for  1938  and  1939  is  given  in  appendix  B. 

Three  hundred  and  six  companies  reported  production  and  sales  of 
synthetic  organic  chemicals  in  1939.  Appendix  C  is  a  directory  of  all 
manufacturers  who  have  given  permission  to  be  identified  as  producers. 

PART  L— SUMMARY,    1939 

Activity  in  the  synthetic  organic  chemical  industry,  as  a  whole, 
increased  sharply  in  1939  over  1938,  and  exceeded  that  in  the  previous 
peak  year,  1937. 

The  acceleration  in  the  rate  of  coke-oven  operations  resulted  in  an 
increase  of  almost  a  third  in  coal-tar  production.  Greater  market 
demand  caused  increased  production  of  crude  products  from  tar. 
The  output  of  toluene  or  tuluol,  the  raw  material  for  the  military 
explosive,  trinitrotoluene,  commonly  called  T.  N.  T.  was  the  highest 
on  record. 


I  United  States  Imports  for  Consumption  of  Dves,  Aromatic  Chemicals,  Medicinals,  Intermediates,  and 
other  Coal-Tar  Products,  as  defined  in  Paragraphs  27  and  28  of  the  TaritI  Act  of  1930,  Semiannual  Statement 
No.  2865.

Source:  Compiled  from  data  reported  to  the  Tariff  Commission  and  to  the  Bureau  of  Mines. 

The  combined  sales  of  all  synthetic  organic  chemicals  in  1939  were 
valued  at  $384,343,000,  and  not  only  exceeded  by  39  percent  those  in 
1938,  a  year  of  poor  chemical  sales,  but  surpassed  the  value  of  sales 
in  any  preceding  year.  The  increase  in  sales  value  of  coal-tar  chemicals 
over  1938  was  42  percent,  or  from  $130,462,000  to  $184,645,000,  and 
in  non-coal-tar  synthetic  organic  chemicals  36  percent,  or  from 
$146,435,000  to  $199,698,000.  The  groups  showing  the  largest 
percentage  increase  in  sales  value  were  intermediates,  medicinals, 
and  synthetic  resins.  The  peak  activity  in  synthetic  organic  chemi- 
cals in  1939  resulted  from  improved  business  conditions,  a  building 
up  of  inventories  by  both  producers  and  consumers,  and  increased 
exports  in  the  last  quarter,  particularly  to  countries  whose  imports  of 
synthetic  chemicals  formerly  came  chiefly  from  the  European  bel- 
ligerents. Although  official  export  statistics  do  not  give  a  total  for 
all  synthetic  organic  chemicals,  it  is  known  that  exports  of  these 
synthetic  products  advanced  considerably  in  1939.  The  value  of 
exports  of  all  coal-tar  chemicals  was  $9,891,000  in  1938  and 
$14,612,000  in  1939. 

No  significant  increases  in  unit  values  of  sales  of  synthetic  organic 
chemicals  occurred  in  1939.  Virtually  all  important  raw  materials  for 
synthetic  organic  chemicals  are  abundant  in  the  United  States  and  in 
general  have  not  advanced  in  price. 

In  1939  a  large  part  of  the  output  of  synthetic  organic  chemicals 
was  consumed,  as  in  preceding  years,  by  producers  in  the  manufacture 
of  other  chemicals.  More  than  half  of  the  coal-tar  mtermediates  and 
of  miscellaneous  non-coal-tar  chemicals,  as  well  as  smaller  fractions 
of  some  of  the  other  groups,  was  thus  consumed  by  the  producing  com- 
panies.    Accordingly  the  quantity  of  production  is  in  excess  of  the 


SYNTHETIC    ORGANIC    CHEMICALS  3 

quantity  of  sales  in  some  group  totals  and  in  many  individual  com- 
modities appearing  in  the  tables  in  this  report. 

Each  product  reported  by  the  manufacturers  is  listed  in  the  de- 
tailed tables  shown  in  this  report.  Statistics  of  production  and  sales 
are  given  for  as  many  separate  chemicals  as  is  possible  without 
disclosing  information  concerning  the  operations  of  individual  com- 
panies. The  Commission  withholds  statistics  for  a  product  or  a 
group  of  products  unless  at  least  three  firms  report,  and  unless  the 
total  production  and  sales  are  well  distributed  among  the  three  or 
more  firms.  In  nearly  all  instances  the  absence  of  numerical  data 
indicated  by  a  blank  in  the  detailed  tabulations  is  not  because  of  a 
lack  of  production  or  sales  figures,  but  because  these  data  are  con- 
fidential. All  such  figures,  however,  are  included  in  their  respective 
group  totals. 

Sales  statistics  given  in  the  tables  are  intended  to  reflect  only  sales 
of  chemicals  produced  by  the  seller.  Every  effort  has  been  made  to 
eliminate  resales  of  purchased  merchandise  and  intercompany 
transfers. 

Group  totals  for  1939  are  comparable  with  those  for  1938  except  in 
one  instance.  The  total  of  non-coal-tar  rubber  chemicals,  heretofore 
included  under  the  total  of  the  miscellaneous  chemicals  group,  is 
shown  separately  in  1939.  This  change,  however,  is  a  minor  one  and 
does  not  affect  appreciably  the  miscellaneous  non-coal-tar  chemicals 
total  for  comparative  purposes. 

The  production  and  sales  of  intermediates  and  finished  coal-tar 
products  in  1939  are  summarized  in  table  2,  and  a  comparison  of  pro- 
duction and  sales  in  1939  with  1938,  1937,  and  1936,  and  with  the 
1925-30  average  is  shown  in  table  3.

PART  II.— PRODUCTION  AND  SALES  BY  GROUPS,  1939 

COAL-TAR  CRUDES 

An  upswing  in  coke  oven  operations  resulted  in  an  increase  in  the' 
production  of  coal  tar  from  419,580,000  gallons  in  1938  to  554,406,000 
gallons  in  1939.  Sixty-two  percent  of  the  output  was  sold  in  1939  in 
comparison  with  72  percent  in  1938.  Tar  distilled  by  purchasers 
thereof  in  1939  amounted  to  334,871,000  gallons,  or  17  percent  more 
than  in  the  preceding  year. 

Total  production  of  toluene  increased  from  16,090,000  gallons  in 
1938  to  24,355,000  gallons  in  1939.  No  toluene  of  nitration  grade 
was  produced  commercially  from  petroleum  in  1939.  A  solvent^ 
however,  containing  approximately  50  percent  toluene  was  produced 
in  substantial  quantities  by  two  oil  companies.  Figures  for  this 
product  are  not  included  in  this  report. 

The  output  of  crude  naphthalene  increased  94  percent  to  104,086,000 
pounds,  and  the  production  of  creosote  oil  advanced  25  percent  to 
110,242,000  gallons.  Increased  demands,  particularly  from  syn- 
thetic resin  manufacturers,  were  responsible  for  an  increase  in  the 
recovery  of  crude  cresylic  acid  and  other  crude  tar  acids.  For  the 
first  time,  one  company  reported  cresylic  acid  produced  in  conjunction 
with  petroleum  refining. 

Statistics  of  domestic  production  and  sales  of  coal  tar,  crude  light 
oil,  and  the  crude  products  made  from  them,  as  well  as  the  quantities 
of  the  several  kinds  of  tar  distilled  are  shown  in  table  6.  These 
statistics  represent  a  combmation  of  data  reported  to  the  Tariff 
Commission  by  the  distillers  of  purchased  tar,  and  of  data  reported 
to  the  Bureau  of  Mines  by  coke-oven  operators  who  distill  tar  produced 
by  themselves.

COAL-TAR  INTERMEDIATES 

The  production  of  607,175,000  pounds  of  coal-tar  intermediates  in 
1939  was  the  highest  on  record,  exceeding  by  51  percent  the  output  in 
1938,  and  by  5  percent  the  previous  peak  in  1937.  Sales  in  1939  were 
269,084,000  pounds  valued  at  $38,489,000,  or  an  average  of  14  cents 
per  pound.  The  difference  between  production  and  sales  of  inter- 
mediates is  due  almost  entirely  to  the  large  consumption  by  the 
producers  in  the  manufacture  of  finished  coal-tar  products. 

The  production  of  intermediates  used  in  the  manufacture  of  syn- 
thetic   resins    increased    more    proportionately    than    did    the    total 


SYNTHETIC    ORGANIC    CHEMICALS  7 

production  of  intermediates;  the  output  of  phthalic  anhydride  and 
phenol  increased  60  percent  and  54  percent,  respectively.  The  pro- 
duction and  sales  of  virtually  all  intermediates  used  in  the  manufacture 
of  dyes  and  medicinals  were  considerably  higher  in  1939  than  in  1938; 
the  output  of  41,775,000  pounds  of  the  basic  commodity,  aniline  oil, 
was  56  percent  more  than  in  the  preceding  year.  Among  the  many 
other  intermediates  that  advanced  in  production  were  H  acid  46 
percent,  p-dichlorobenzene  21  percent,  dimethylaniline  52  percent, 
a-naphthylamine  39  percent,  and  sulfanilic  acid  and  salt  25  percent. 
Statistics  of  production  and  sales  of  coal-tar  intermediates  are 
shown  in  table  7.

UNITED   STATES   TARIFF    COMMISSION 


COAL-TAR  DYES 

The  production  of  120,191,000  pounds  of  coal-tar  dyes  in  1939  was 
47  percent  more  than  in  the  preceding  year.  Sales  were  30  percent  by 
quantity  and  32  percent  by  value  above  those  in  1938.  Since  sales 
in  1938  were  in  considerable  part  from  inventories,  the  increase  shown 
for  production  in  1939  is  much  greater  than  that  for  sales.  A  decided 
betterment  in  export  trade,  particularly  during  the  last  quarter, 
contributed  to  the  improvement  in  sales.  After  satisfying  the 
American  market,  dye  producers  had  a  considerable  surplus  for  export. 
The  quantity  exported  was  limited  largely  by  plant  capacity. 

Unclassified  ^  dyes  constituted  17  percent  of  sales  quantity  and  32  per- 
cent of  sales  value  of  all  dyes  in  1939,  as  compared  with  16  percent  and 
32  percent,  respectively,  in  1938.  Sales  of  the  bulk  color,  synthetic 
indigo,  decreased  somewhat  in  value,  but  increased  slightlv  in  quan- 
tity, from  11,738,000  pounds  m  1938  to  11,950,000  pounds  in  1939. 
The  average  value  per  pound  of  all  dyes  sold  was  $0.60  in  1938  and 
^0.61  in  1939.  A  continuation  of  the  steady  trend  toward  a  greater 
production  of  the  higher  priced  dyes,  especially  vats  and  azoics, 
more  than  offset  a  reduction  of  1  cent  per  pound  on  synthetic  indigo 
iind  decreased  unit  values  in  the  groups  of  acetate  silk  dyes  and  azoic 
dyes.  Research  resulted  in  the  development  of  a  number  of  new  dyes 
in  1939. 

Production  and  sales  of  dyes  by  classes  of  application  are  shown 
in  table  8;  and  of  individual  dyes,  grouped,  as  far  as  practicable  by 
chemical  classes,  in  table  9.  Totals  of  chemical  classes  that  can  be 
shown  without  revealing  confidential  information  are  given.

COLOR  LAKES  AND  TONERS 

Improvement  in  the  surface-coatings  and  decorating  trades  in  1939 
accelerated  trade  in  color  lakes  and  toners.  Production  was  18,154,000 
pounds,  and  sales  were  15,577,000  pounds,  valued  at  $11,785,000.  In 
1938  the  output  was  14,407,000  pounds,  of  which  12,658,000  pounds 
were  sold  for  $9,403,000.  In  both  1938  and  1939  toners,  or  full- 
strength  colors,  constituted  67  percent  of  the  value  of  total  sales 
of  the  group,  lakes  and  extended  colors  were  29  percent,  and  reduced 
toners  4  percent. 

Statistics  of  production  and  sales  of  color  lakes  and  toners  in  1939 
are  shown  in  table  10.

MEDICINALS 

Synthetic  medicinals,  both  coal-tar  and  non-coal-tar,  increased  in 
production  and  sales  in  1939. 

In  the  coal-tar  group  the  output  in  1939  was  15,188,000  pounds,, 
and  sales  were  12,932,000  pounds,  valued  at  $13,711,000,  compared 
with  production  of  11,097,000  pounds  and  sales  of  8.885,000  pounds, 
valued  at  $9,509,000  in  1938.  The  5,372,000  pounds  of  aspirin  manu- 
factured in  1939  represents  an  increase  of  38  percent  over  1938.  Pro- 
duction and  sales  of  sulfanilamide  about  doubled.  The  average  sales, 
value  dropped  from  $1.79  a  pound  in  1938  to  $1.28  a  pound  in  1939. 
Sulfapyridine,  used  in  the  treatment  of  certain  types  of  pneumonia,  and', 
synthetic  ephedrine,  were  reported  for  the  first  time.  Prior  to  1939' 
the  entire  domestic  supply  of  ephedrine  had  been  extracted  from 
medicinal  plants  imported  from  the  Orient. 

The  production  of  non-coal-tar  synthetic  medicinals  in  1939  was 
1,668,000  pounds.  Sales  were  1,483,000  pounds,  valued  at  $6,120,000. 
In  1938  the  output  was  1,379,000  pounds,  and  sales  were  1,137,000 
pounds,  valued  at  $2,278,000.  The  much  larger  increase  in  sales  value 
than  in  sales  qviantity  in  1939  was  due  to  a  greater  increase  in  sales 
of  certain  high-priced  products  than  in  the  lower-priced  commodities 
of  the  group  and  to  the  inclusion  for  the  first  time  of  figures  for  the 
very  high-priced  synthetic  horjtnones  in  the  group  total. 

Statistics  of  production  and  sales  of  synthetic  medicinals  in  1939 
are  shown  in  table  1 1 ,

FLAVORS  AND  PERFUME  MATERIALS 

Synthetic  flavors  and  perfume  materials,  both  those  derived  from 
coal  tar  and  those  obtained  from  non-coal-tar  raw  materials,  advanced 
m  production  and  sales  in  1939.  Of  the  output  in  1939  of  5,349,000 
poundsof  those  of  coal-tar  origin,  4,938,000  pounds  were  sold  for  $4,447,- 
000,  representing  increases  of  39  percent  in  production,  35  percent  in  sales 
quantity,  and  32  percent  in  sales  value  over  1938.  Sales  of  coumarin 
advanced  45  percent  with  a  decline  in  value  from  $2.51  a  pound  in 
1938  to  $2.34  a  pound  in  1939.  Sales  of  vanillin  increased  33  percent 
by  quantity  and  19  percent  by  value. 

The  output  of  non-coal-tar  flavors  and  perfume  materials  in  1939 
was  2,137,000  pounds.  Sales  were  2,233,000  pounds  valued  at 
$1,588,000.  Production  was  45  percent  more  than  in  1938,  while 
sales  were  up  72  percent  by  quantity  and  101  percent  by  value. 
Among  the  products  that  advanced  in  production  and  sales  were 
anisic  aldehyde,  citral,  geraniol,  geranyl  acetate,  ionone,  and  terpineol. 
The  production  of  heliotropin  was  less  in  1939  than  in  1938. 

Statistics  of  production  and  sales  of  synthetic  organic  flavors  and 
perfume  materials  in  1939  are  shown  in  table  12.

SYNTHETIC  RESINS 

The  total  production  of  213,028,000  pounds  of  synthetic  resins 
(coal-tar  and  non-coal-tar)  in  1939  was  the  highest  on  record,  exceeding 
by  82,669,000  pounds  the  output  in  1938,  and  by  49,997,000  pounds 
the  previous  peak  in  1937.  The  1939  production,  by  principal  uses,, 
was  54,807,000  pounds  for  molding  and  casting,  18,411,000  pounds  for 
laminating,  100,180,000  pounds  for  paints  and  varnishes,  and  39,- 
630,000  pounds  for  other  uses.  Corresponding  figures  for  1938  are 
33,538,000  pounds  for  molding  and  casting,  10,189,000  pounds  for 
laminating,  56,528,000  pounds  for  paints  and  varnishes,  and  30,104,- 
000  pounds  for  other  uses. 

The  179,338,000  pounds  of  resins  of  coal-tar  origin  in  1939  exceeded 
by  68  percent  the  output  in  1938.  Alkyd  resins  were  up  87  percent 
and  tar  acid  resins  58  percent. 

The  production  of  non-coal-tar  synthetic  resins  in  1939  was  33,690,- 
000  pounds,  or  44  percent  more  than  in  1938.  The  rapid  expansion 
in  the  use  of  urea  resins  for  surface  coatings  resulted  in  an  increase 
in  their  production  of  more  than  100  percent.  An  increase  of  several 
fold  in  sales  of  the  vinyl  acetyl  resins,  higher  in  price  than  other  non- 
coal-tar  resins,  resulted  in  a  change  in  the  average  unit  value  of  sales 
of  all  non-coal-tar  resins  from  $0.41  in  1938  to  $0.46  in  1939.  The 
average  value  per  pound  of  sales  of  urea  resins  decreased  from  $0.44 
to  $0.36  during  the  year. 

Statistics  of  production  and  sales  of  synthetic  resins  m  1939  are- 
shown  in  table  13.

RUBBER  CHEMICALS 

With  the  increase  in  the  manufacture  of  rubber  products,  partic- 
ularly tires,  synthetic  organic  chemicals  for  use  in  compounding 
rubber  increased  greatly  m  production  and  sales  in  1939.  Coal-tar 
rubber  chemicals  were  up  60  percent  in  production.  The  increase  in 
those  used  as  accelerators  was  47  percent,  and  in  those  used  as  anti- 
oxidants 69  percent. 

Statistics  of  total  production  and  sales  of  non-coal-tar  rubber 
chemicals  are  shown  separately  for  the  first  time.  Heretofore  these 
data  have  been  included  under  the  miscellaneous  non-coal-tar  chemi- 
cals group  to  avoid  revealing  confidential  information.  These  non- 
coal-tar  rubber  chemicals  increased  considerably  in  production  and 
sales,  but  less  than  did  those  of  coal-tar  origin. 

Statistics  of  production  and  sales  of  synthetic  rubber  chemicals 
are  shown  in  table  14.

MISCELLANEOUS  CHEMICALS 

The  miscellaneous  coal-tar  chemicals  group  includes  all  unrelated 
commodities  and  groups  of  commodities  not  properly  classifiable  under 
any  of  the  specified  groups.  Although  the  groups  are  comparable  for 
1938  and  1939  as  to  classifications  of  individual  commodities,  a  com- 
parison of  group  totals  is  of  little  significance  because  of  the  heteroge- 
neous nature  of  the  products  making  up  these  totals.  The  production 
of  coal-tar  textile  chemicals  increased  from  5,791,000  pounds  in  1938 
to  9,452,000  pounds  in  1939.  Sales  advanced  proportionately.  Hy- 
droquinone,  shown  under  photographic  chemicals,  is  the  photographic 
grade  only.  The  technical  grade  is  included  under  coal-tar  interme- 
diates. Plasticizers  of  coal-tar  origin  are  shown  separately  as  a  sub- 
group for  the  first  time. 

The  miscellaneous  non-coal-tar  group  includes  the  bulk  of  the  non- 
coal-tar  synthetic  products  and  consists  of  industrial  chemicals  that 
cannot  be  grouped  as  meclicinals,  aromatic  chemicals,  rubber  chemi- 
cals, or  resins.  The  output  of  miscellaneous  non-coal-tar  synthetic 
organic  chemicals  in  1939  was  2,984,038,000  pounds  as  compared  with 
2,383,168,000  pounds  in  1938.  In  this  group  sorne  of  the  important 
products  that  advanced  in  production  were  acetic  acid  23  percent, 
acetic  anhydride  58  percent,  butyl  alcohol  56  percent,  carbon  tetra- 
chloride 16  percent,  and  isopropyl  alcohol  27  percent.  Sales  of  ace- 
tone were  up  50  percent,  and  of  synthetic  methanol  39  percent. 
Commodities  representing  a  large  part  of  the  total  production  of  mis- 
cellaneous non-coal-tar  products  cannot  be  shown  separately  without 
revealing  confidential  information.  Among  such  products  in  1939 
were:  Synthetic  camphor,  crotonaldehyde,  synthetic  ethyl  alcohol, 
ethyl  chloride,  ethylene  dibromide,  ethylene  dichloride,  ethylene  gly- 
col, synthetic  methanol,  and  tetraethyl  lead.  Non-coal-tar  plasticiz- 
ers are  shown  as  a  subgroup  for  the  first  time. 

Statistics  of  production  and  sales  of  miscellaneous  synthetic  organic 
chemicals  are  shown  in  table  15.

APPENDIX  A.— RESEARCH  EXPENDITURES 

Producers  of  synthetic  organic  chemicals  employed  2,197  techni- 
cally tramed  research  workers  m  1939,  according  to  figures  reported 
by  the  industry.  The  average  annual  salary  was  $3,113  as  compared 
with  $3,328  in  1938.  This  lower  average  salary  figure  indicates 
increased  placement  of  younger  men  rather  than  a  lowering  of  techni- 
cal salary  levels.  The  gross  cost  of  research  was  $14,077,000,  and  the 
net  cost  $13,064,000.^  This  net  cost  of  research  was  3.5  percent  of 
sales  of  all  synthetic  organic  chemicals  m  1939,  as  compared  with 
4.3  percent  in  1938.  Although  research  expenditures  increased  con- 
siderably in  1939,  sales  increased  much  more. 

APPENDIX  B.— IMPORTS 

The  TarifJ  Commission  cooperated  with  the  Department  of  Com- 
merce in  1939  as  m  previous  years,  in  compiling  from  original  customs 
documents  import  data  on  coal-tar  intermediates  and  finished  coal-tar 
products.  These  statistics  are  released  to  subscribers  semiannually 
by  the  Department  of  Commerce  in  Import  Statement  No.  2865,  and 
are  shown  in  greater  detail  than  in  the  annual  publication  "Foreign 
Commerce  and  Navigation  of  the  United  States."  Table  16  is  a 
summary  of  the  issues  of  Import  Statement  No.  2865  for  1938  and 
1939,  and  shows  imports  of  dutiable  coal-tar  products  for  those  years, 
classified  according  to  use.
