1. The production of heat-resistant synthetic fibers has not yet commenced at the
Chemische Werke Buna-Schkopau. The principal items currently being produced are
synthetic rubber,,(mainly the oil-insoluble kind), calcium carbide, acetone,
building lime, kalunite (sic), chlorethyl, caustic soda, ethyl chloride, glycerine,
anti-freeze solution (glysantin), aluminum chloride, plasticizers, "Igelit"plastic,
grease extracting agents,4'utomobi-1e lubrieating?oil and other oils,.methyl
alcohol, dichlor-diethylsulphide, and phosphorus. Two-thirds of the output goes
to the Soviet Union.
2. In September 1953 there were produced 20,160 kg. of phosphorus, and about 26,000
Sig. of dichlor-diethylsulphide. The Buna works manufactures only the first
(thin-di-glycol) stage of the dichlor-diethylsulphide, which is further treated
elsewhere. Large quantities of glycerine are shipped monthly; the production has
been considerably increased in the past few months. The production of acetylene
fell short by 1,224 tons of the quota of 30,620 tons,. due to a shortage of carbide.
