http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/mc00315

New Jersey’s Calco Chemical Company was founded in 1915 at a site close to the town of Bound Brook, almost adjacent to the Raritan River, to manufacture coal-tar intermediates required to make synthetic dyestuffs. After 1918, Calco also successfully embarked on the manufacture of synthetic dyestuffs by processes that were far more complex than hitherto used in American chemical industry. After 1945, American Cyanamid’s Calco Chemical Division specialized in vat dyestuffs, fluorescent whitening agents, polyurethane and acrylic polymers, and the invention of herbicides. In 1993 Cyanamid finished its transformation from a chemical to a drug and agricultural products company. This collection contains technical bulletins from the Calco Chemcial Division of the American Cyanamid Company and the Courtaulds Limited (Courtelle) company. The dates of the bulletins range in dates from 1945-1977.
