I have found PLAX advertisements in the "Plastics" Magazine of 1947 and 1948, which suggest that the company existed before the date mentioned in the Wikipedia article. The text of the 1947 ad is given below:

PLAX POLYETHYLENE SHEET AVAILABLE NOW Give your designers the go-ahead signal. Here is a "natural” that is available now. Numerous manufacturers are already capitalizing on Plax Polyethylene’s versatility and outstanding properties in sheet form, and we know that its availability in quantity will heighten demand. However, we are prepared for it. You can plan for its use with assurance. Plax Polyethylene, with its exceptional electrical characteristics, toughness and high resistance to moisture transmission and chemical attack, is supplied in gauges from .001" to .020". (25 – 500µ) It comes in rolls 500 to 2000 feet long and 36 inches wide. If desired, rolls can be slit according to customer specifications. For additional information on Polyethylene sheet, rod, and tubing, please write Plax.

133 WALNUT STREET HARTFORD 5, CONNECTICUT PLASTICS JULY 1947 [Page] 41

Any ideas how to explain this contradiction? Could it be that there existed two companies of the same name or in succession? I am prepared to submit pdf-files of the ads.

Any input is welcome
