Seagrams has used this process to produce Mount Royal Light and V. O. Light, both 54° proof, full-flavored products that are currently in test markets in the United States and Canada, respectively. 

Exxon Chemical Canada is currently test marketing this developmental technology on a number of appHcations including high value vegetable crop, turf, and ornamental nurseries. 

To enhance the resistance to heat softening his-phenol A is substituted by a stiffer molecule. Conventional bis-phenol A polycarbonates have lower heat distortion temperatures (deflection temperatures under load) than some of the somewhat newer aromatic thermoplastics described in the next chapter, such as the polysulphones. In 1979 a polycarbonate in which the bis-phenol A was replaced by tetramethylbis-phenol A was test marketed. This material had a Vicat softening point of 196 C, excellent resistance to hydrolysis, excellent resistance to tracking and a low density of about l.lg/cm-. Such improvements were obtained at the expense of impact strength and resistance to stress cracking. 

Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) (structure B of Table 21.5). This material was first prepared in the laboratories of ICI in 1977 and test marketed in 1978. The material is now marketed by Victrex as Victrex PEEK. 

Persons and Activities Covered. TSCA 5 creates a premanufacture notification program, whereas the Sixth Amendment requires the submittal of premarket notifications. Thus, U.S. PMN s must be submitted no later than 90 days prior to the completion of R D activities, unless EPA grants permission to produce limited amounts for test marketing purposes. In contrast, companies in... 

Article 8(1) of the Sixth Amendment specifies three different types of exemptions for R D substances. The third appears to be analogous to the TSCA 5(h)(1) exemption for test marketing activities. 

The administrator may upon application exempt any person from the notification requirements of section 5(a) or (b) if the substance in question is limited to test marketing... 

Numerous test marketing applications have been submitted and approved. 

Fabrication of the prototype is an important step in product development. It demonstrates that the various components can indeed be physically integrated to form the final product with the desired functionalities. Consider a UV sensor. While its functionality depends on the physical response of a certain nanomaterial in the presence of UV light, an electric circuit and a display system are required for a functional consumer product. The availability of a prototype is essential in test marketing, safety tests, reliability tests and so on. However, the development of consumer-oriented products often involves a considerable amount of trial-and-error, which can lead to costly delays in product launching [10]. 

The second part of the study involved test marketing.

A combination of metolachlor (Dual ) and atrazine in a liquid prepack called Bicep facilitated the growing practice of mixing atrazine with grass herbicides. Test marketed in 1978 and 1979, Bicep was introduced nationally in 1980. In 1997, atrazine was combined with S-metolachlor to produce Bicep II Magnum , since. S -metolachlor contains more of the active isomer and reduces the amount of herbicide needed for efficacy.

A limited announcement package is possible for small quantities, e.g. sales of less than 1 tonne per year. This allows a new product to be launched in a test market mode. The test required by the Regulatory authorities increases as the scale of manufacture increases from 10 tonnes per year to 100 tonnes and then to 1000 tonnes per year to a maximum at 5000 tonnes. 

Dr LI. Dana, Linde Vice President, hired me and put me to work on air separation. He and Dr. J.M. Gaines, Director of Research, asked me to work on physical adsorption and strongly supported the molecular sieve project at all times. Dr. Dana made the decision to test market and set the initial prices. 

K-Resin SBC was invented by Alonzo Kitchen, a research chemist at Phillips Petroleum Research and Development laboratories. With inventorship came the opportunity to name the new resin, which he called K-Resin . The first pilot plant resins were made in 1967, and commercial samples were prepared for test marketing in 1968. Commercial production started in October of 1972 at the SBC plant in Borger, Texas, on a 10 million pound per year capacity line. Initially, the solution product was steam stripped to remove the hydrocarbon solvent, but this left a significant haze in the resin. The finishing system was quickly converted to a devolatilizing extruder. Commercial production continued at this plant until 1979, ending with the opening of a new production facility at Adams Terminal (later renamed the Houston Chemical Complex) in Pasadena, Texas. The new plant had a nameplate capacity of 120 million pounds per year. Plant expansions increased the production capacity in 1988 and 1994 to a total nameplate capacity around 300 million pounds per year. 

This mouthrinse provides 1.6%i ionic pyrophosphate from disodium and tetrasodium pyrophosphate to act against calculus formation and 0.05%i sodium fluoride as a caries-reducing agent. Data on the extent of calculus and caries reduction were not available when this article was written because the product was in test market.
