RFC Plans New Rubber Production
Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones announced plans to back a Thiokol plant to produce 40,000 tons of synthetic rubber annually, aiming to ease tire shortages for private autos. A smaller Midland retread plant would produce 40,000 retreads monthly, paving the way for a larger project funded by REO financing and set to speed synthetic rubber production by 1943. The effort relies on poly rubber from Dow Chemical, using caustic soda, sulfur, chlorine, and ethylene, with ethylene in short supply.
