 * Leaning towards keep on this one. The business has apparently been around since before WWI.  They have some interesting inventions with lasting significance, such as a scheme to make acetone and methane from kelp.  They were making Agent Orange for the Vietnam war.  This suggests significant effects on history, technology, and culture.  There may be a Chinese business using the same name.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:54, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm pretty liberal on this sort of article, but this is a small specialized company with no significant references except for its going out of business.  DGG ( talk ) 01:13, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
