We are sure that most paint technologists will agree (with the possible exception of those at ICI), that up to two years ago if you thought of phosphating you immediately though of Pyrene. Then the name became diluted to Ardrox Pyrene. They are, of course, part of Brent Chemicals, who have now decided to restructure the company ready to take on the challenge of the single European Common Market, together with their existing European companies. This entails phasing out the old names we all knew and organising into three market‐led operating divisions — one of which, Europe; Industrial Systems, will be concerned with phosphating technology. We can see the logic of all this.
