                  NOTE TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The attached condensed financial information has been prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, does not include
all financial note information which might be necessary for a fair
presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Such condensed financial information is unaudited, but in the opinion of
management, includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of results for
the periods indicated. The net income reported for the periods should not
necessarily be regarded as indicative of net income on an annualized basis;
however, significant variations from the results for the same period of the
previous year, if any, have been disclosed in the accompanying management's
discussion and analysis.

                  Management's Discussion and Analysis of

               Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     The working capital ratio at March 31, 1995 was 2.0 to 1 as compared
to 1.9 to 1 at December 31, 1994, reflecting the continuation of an
adequate level of liquidity necessary to support operations.  The company's
net cash position (cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments
less short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt and
capital lease) declined $7.5 million during the quarter.  This was due
primarily to increased short-term borrowings associated with (i) seasonal
cash needs, (ii) the replacement of maturing long-term obligations with
short-term debt and (iii) increases in non-cash working capital (primarily
increases in accounts receivable generated from higher sales).  Working
capital increased $.7 million during the quarter mainly as a result of the
aforementioned increases in non-cash working capital.
     Other major sources and uses of cash in the quarter were a receipt of
$2.0 million related to the 1993 sale of the SULFA-SCRUB (registered trademark)
patents and technology, and dividend payments of $1.5 million.

Comparison of First Quarter 1995 with First Quarter 1994
     Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 1995 increased $9.4
million (21%) due mainly to increased sales volume, particularly in Europe,
and the appreciation of European currencies versus the U.S. dollar.
However, income from operations and net income were each $.3 million lower
than the same quarter in 1994 largely as a result of the short-term dampening
effect of raw material cost inflation on margins.  The increase in sales
was due to a 12% increase in volume; a 7% improvement associated with
currency translation; and an increase of 2% from an acquisition of a
European metalworking business.
     Operating margins as a percentage of sales declined due to the
aforementioned negative effect of rising raw material costs.  Other income
decreased mainly as a result of foreign exchange transaction losses on
dollar denominated sales from the company's European operations.
These losses offset in large part the first quarter positive impact of
currency translation which approximated $.03 per share.  The decrease in
equity in net income from associated companies was primarily due to business
development investment costs in the company's Fluid Recycling Services
joint venture.
     The company continues to be encouraged by sales growth trends,
especially in Europe.  In addition, programs have been and are
still being implemented to increase prices (the effect of which
should be more evident toward the end of the second quarter) in order to
recover margin losses associated with raw material cost inflation.
