Synthetic rubber... America’s great war miracle... quickly overcame this crisis chiefly with the aid of alcohol produced by beverage distillers
CRISIS IN 1942
“If we fail to secure quickly a large new rubber supply our war effort and our domestic economy both will collapse.”
— Baruch Report, Sept. 11, 1942 ACHIEVEMENT IN 1944
“A synthetic rubber industry has been established and is in complete operation. It is providing the nation with an ample supply of rubber.” — Bradley Dewey, Rubber Director, July 25, 1944
TRIBUTE
Commenting on the beverage distilling industry's contribution, a high W.P.B. official said on April 13, 1944...
1. *...it is fair to regard the rubber manufactured to date, as being almost solely the product of the beverage distilling industry.” : 2. “... synthetic rubber is from 6 to 9 months ahead of
where it could have been if alcohol had not been available for butadiene production.” ede

alcohol. Soon millions of gallons of this vital ingredient were flowing into synthetic rubber plants.
The rest is history. Synthetic rubber production today is ample to meet
our needs for essential civilian and war rubber goods... this emergency no longer exists.
Proof... the request of Bradley Dewey, Rubber Director, to terminate his wartime powers.

Synthetic rubber was the only solution. The problem... to produce it in time.
America’s rubber chemists knew how to make it. But...the most practical process at the time required huge amounts of alcohol. ..far beyond the already overtaxed productive capacity of industrial alcohol plants.
