The series consists mainly of the minutes and reports of Committees involved in research and development. More specifically it consists primarly of the minutes and reports of Polymer Operating Committee and Product Development Committees (General Section, Nitrile Section, Butyl Section, S Section, Butyl-Stereo and Taktene and Butyl Divisions, Latex, High Solid Latex and Medium Solid Latex Sections).
These records describe in detail how the company developed and created its products. The product development committees included scientists, chemical engineers, sales executives, and corporate managers thus they acted as an interface between what was theoretically possible and the realities of the market place.They contain the scientific and technical information that Polymer used to produce and market synthetic rubber and its by-products.

There are also records on the planning and construction of Polymer's Research and Development Laboratory's Building in 1958 and on Polymer's strike in 1959. Finally there are also correspondence from the american Reconstruction Finance Corporation, some records about the U.S. Governement's Natural and Synthetic Rubber Programs and on some Synthetic Rubber Plants in Germany and other various reports and publications on the production of synthetic rubber and its by-products.

Historique de la conservation :

These records were originally part of Polymer Corp's research library. Polymer was Polysar's predecessor.

These records were offered to LAC by Lanxess Inc in 2010. (Lanxess is the current owner of the Polysar's Sarnia facility. Polysar was sold to Nova Inc in 1989. In 1990 Nova sold the firm to the German company Bayer AG. In 2004 Bayer spun off its rubber and plastics business forming Lanxess, as a stand alone company.)

The records were in Sarnia, Ontario when Lanxess was rebuilding its facilities there. The building that housed Polysar's research library was then demolished and these records were in a shed beside the "Pilot Plant" which was also slated for demolition.

Several reports from the following american organisations were not kept in the fonds: the Rubber Reserve Company, the War Production Board and the Technical Oil Mission. These were actually copies of records (both on paper and reels of microfilms) that can be found already at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C..

The reports from the Technical Oil Mission were actually themselves copies of German Reports (in order to obtain from the German Rubber Industry all available technical information of possible value to the American, Canadian and British Rubber Industries, particularly for the prosecution of the war against Japan, a mission of experienced technical representatives from these countries was organised. The assignment was to investigate synthetic rubber and rubber products plants and to interrogate operating personnel as quickly as possible after capture by the Allied Forces).

The presence of these records in Polymer's Reseach Library was due to an important exchange of information beween Polymer and US organisations involved in the production of synthetic rubber.The correspondence from the american Reconstruction Finance Corporation and other records kept in the fonds testify of this exchange of information.
