Du Pont's New Photo Products Plant Has Picturesque Mountain Setting
Morrison Announces
Multi-Million Expansion Is
Completed, Making X-Ray Film
Start-up of a multi-million
dollar plant near here to make
new medical and industrial
x-ray films based on “Cronar”
polyester film was announced
today by the Du Pont company.
The plant is the first commer
cial unit specifically designed to
make medical x-ray films based
on polyester. It will double the
company’s capacity for ‘’Cronar”,
a tough, optically clear, film
now widely used for graphic
arts, engineering reproduction,
drafting, photorecording and mo
tion picture films.
The highly automated plant,
under construction since Feb
ruary 1962, provides jobs for
approximately 500 persons and
required about 900 construc
tion workers at peak of activ
ity.
Three new medical films, nam
ed “Cronex” x-ray films, is be
ing produced at Brevard. They
contain faster and improved
emulsions developed after more
than five years of research and
development at the company’s
Parlin, N. J., photographic prod
ucts laboratory.
Products range from a high
speed film, providing reduced
radiation exposure and good im
age definition, to moderate speed
films with high contrast and wide
flexibility in exposure and pro
cessing. Field experience has
shown that the durability and
moisture resistance of the poly
ester base offers better perform

in two automobile accidents,
both head-on collisions, which

Public Invited
To Inspect New
Plant Saturday
Residents <>f this area are
cordially invited to inspect the
recently remodeled and great
ly expanded l)u Pont plant,
according to Albert B. Morri
son, plant manager. The o< i-a
sion will be "Open House" to
which the public is invited on
Saturday, June 6th. from 10:00
a.m., to 7:00 p.m.
The plant, located 15 miles
south of Brevard, was first plac
ed in operation in 1958 for the
manufacture of hyperpure sili
con. .Now. following more than
two years of construction activ
ity. it is engaged in the manu
facture of medical X-ray film.
Visitors to the plant during
“Open House” will have an
opportunity to inspect these
facilities which comprise the
most modern photographic
film manufacturing plant in
the world.
- The transition from silicon to
medical X-ray film manufacture
was accomplished without dis
rupting the jobs of the 235 em
ployees then working at the
plant.
Remodeling began early in
1962 even while production of
silicon continued. As segments
of the remodeled plant were
made ready for the processing of
iJ|lm. groups of production and
IBaintenance employees were
W ithdrawn from the silicon func
tion, retrained, and assigned to
their new duties. In its effort
to protect its employees’ jobs,
Du Pont has retrained a number
of employees two or three times
as additional areas of the plant
became ready for startup.
Xow, with employment ap
proaching the 500 level, all em
ployees have experienced the
economic benefits of upgraded
skills resulting from retrain
ing.
DuPont has been a competitor
in the photographic film busi
ness since 1920. As World War
I drew to a close, the company
began to search for ways to make
use of its surplus capacity to
produce smokeless powder based
on nitrated cellulose. It was a
natural and logical step, there
