HC Deb 03 July 1947 vol 439 c1487
21. Mrs. Middleton

asked the President of the Board of Trade what plans are being made in this country, or are contemplated, for producing furnace blacks of equal quality to channel blacks by the Statex K method.

The President of the Board of Trade (Sir Stafford Cripps)

I am not aware of any plans for making carbon black in this country by the Statex K method, or that it has yet been proved whether this method produces blacks of equal quality to channel blacks. Trial parcels are now being imported so that its qualities may be tested.
