Chemical Industry Plans Billions for Future Research
The chemical industry will spend about 500 million dollars on research this year and aims to invest around 25 billion dollars in new production facilities in 1958 and 1959. The Manufacturing Chemists Assn notes 134 billion dollars of construction already underway with more planned. Despite a broad economy downturn, chemical firms report no layoffs in research and above-average production gains. Chemical Week finds 84 percent of firms plan higher research spending and 72 percent expect larger research staffs. Projects focus on semiconductor metals, high energy fuels, new fibers and films, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and synthetic rubbers.
