Forty Years Of Company Service
The National Plastic Products
Company is now a wholly-owned
affiliate of Enjay Chemical.
Enjay and J. P. Stevens &
Company, Inc.—formerly joint
owners of National Plastic—have
announced the purchase of Stev-
ens’ interest in the company by
Enjay. The affiliate will retain its
present management. J. R. Law-
ing is president.
National manufactures a va-
riety of products from Enjay
polypropylene fiber and mono-
filament. Although Stevens con-
tinues to maintain a strong in-
terest in polypropylene fiber, it
was fell that further growth and
development of National would
be best suited to Enjay.
In addition to the purchase, a
substantial expansion of National
Plastic was also announced. The
expansion entails increased pro-
duction facilities for National’s
two divisions—The Vectra Com-
pany and The Nevamar Com-
pany. Vectra is currently begin-
ning an expansion designed to
quadruple its fiber-producing ca-
pacity, and Nevamar’s capacity
is being doubled.
National has headquarters and
manufacturing facilities in Oden-
ton, Maryland. Offices are also
maintained in New York and
warehouses are in Portland (Ore-
gon), San Francisco, Long
Beach, Dallas, Houston, Chicago
and Miami.
The Nevamar Company pro-
duces decorative laminates for
furniture, kitchen cabinets, table
tops, walls and other applica-
tions. The laminates, sold under

slain resistant, will not chip,
crack or peel with normal use,
and are easily cleaned with a
damp cloth and ordinary soap.
In addition to the traditional
colors and designs, Nevamar
laminates are also available in
wood and leather-simulated fin-
ishes.
A wide variety of products are
manufactured from Vectra poly-
propylene fiber. The fiber gained .
national attention in 1964 when
it was introduced in the highly-
competitive ladies’ hosiery mar-
ket. Today, there are more than • <
50 individual brands of hosiery
made from Vectra fiber.
Another successful application
of Vectra fiber is in outdoor-
indoor carpeting, now available
in 10 colors. Because of poly-
propylene’s characteristics, the
carpeting does not stain, rot or
mildew. About six months ago,
Vectra fiber was introduced in
indoor, tufted carpeting for the
home.
The newest application of Vec-
tra fiber is in boat hulls. Lighter
than fiberglass, the specially
woven fabric has been proven to
have practical advantages over
materials now in use for boat
hulls.
Other applications of the fiber
include luggage liners, boot lin-
ings, industrial webbing. filters -
fabrics, seat covers, fishnets, cor-
dage and hatch covers. New uses
are being discovered in such
products as sweaters, lingerie. 7 *'
knit fabrics and other women’s
fashions.
