    PREFACE
    Chemistry as taught in our schools and colleges is confined to synthesis,
    analysis —
    and engineering and properly so. It is part of the proper foundation
    for the education of the chemist.
    Many a chemist on entering an industry soon finds that the bulk of the
    products manufactured by his concern are not synthetic or definite chemical
    compounds but are mixtures, blends or highly complex compounds of which he
    knows little or nothing. The literature in this field, if any, may be meagre,
    scattered or antiquated.
    Even chemists, with years of experience in one or more industries, spend
    considerable time and effort in acquainting themselves on entering a new field.
    Consulting chemists, similarly, have problems brought to them from industries
    foreign to them, A definite need has existed for an up-to-date compilation of
    formulae for chemical compounding and treatment. Since the fields to be
    covered are many and varied, an editorial board was formed, composed of
    chemists and engineers in many industries.
    Many publications, laboratories, manufacturing companies and individuals
    have been drawn upon to obtain the latest and best information. It is felt that
    the formulae given in this volume will save chemists and allied workers much
    time and effort.
    Manufacturers and sellers of chemicals will find in these formulae new uses
    for their products. Non-chemical executives, professional men and others, who
    may be interested, will gain from this volume a ‘^speaking acquaintance'^ with
    products which they may be using, trying, or with which they are in contact.
    It often happens that two individuals using the same ingredients In the same
    formula get different results. This may be the result of slight deviations or
    unfamiliarity with the intricacies of a new technique. Accordingly, repeated
    experiments may be necessary to get the best results. Although many of the
    formulae given are being used commercially many have been taken from
    patent specifications and the literature. Since these sources are often subject
    to various errors and omissions, due regard must be given to this factor.
    Wherever possible it is advisable to consult with other chemists or technical
    workers regarding commercial production. This will save time and money and
    avoid ‘headaches."
    It is seldom that any formula will give exactly the results which one re-
    quires. Formulae are useful as starting points from which to work out one's
    own ideas. Formulae very often give us ideas which may help us in our specific
    problems. In a compilation of this kind errors of omission, commission and
    printing may occur. We shall be glad to receive any constructive criticism in
    this, our first attempt,
    To the layman, it is suggested that he arrange for the services of a chemist
    or technical worker familiar with the specific field in which he is interested.
    Although this involves an expense it will insure quicker and better formulation
    without wastage of time and materials.

    PREFACE TO VOLUME IV
    New and additional formulae gathered during the past year have accumulated in
    quantity sufficient to produce an additional volume to volumes I, II & III of the
    Chemical Formulary. With some trepidation as to the aceeptability of a fourth
    volume at this time, inquiry was made of educators, chemists, engineers, and manu-
    facturers as to whether or not it should be published at this time. The unanimous
    answer was that information of this nature should be disseminated at the earliest
    moment to do the greatest amount of good.
    It is gratifying to note that schools
    and colleges are making greater use of the
    Chemical Formulary as an auxiliary in stimulating practical interest in chemistry.
    With it students are making adhesives, insecticides, polishes, cosmetics, etc. It
    makes chemistry interesting, practical and useful to them.
    Because some purchasers of this book are beginners in the art of chemical com-
    pounding, it was suggested that a simple introductory chapter be included. This
    has been done, giving complete directions for making simple preparations in
    everyday use.
    It is a sincere pleasure to acknowledge the valuable assistance of the members of
    the board of editors and others who have given of their time and knowledge in
    contributing the special formulae which have made this volume possible.

    INTRODUCTION
    At the suggestion of a number of teachers of chemistry and home economics the
    following introductory matter has been included.
    The contents of this section are written in a simple way so that anyone, regardless
    of technical education or experience, can start making simple products without any
    complicated or expensive machinery. T’or commercial productions, however, suitable
    equipment is necessary.
    Chemical specialties en masse are composed of pigments, gums, resins, solvents,
    oils, greases, fats, waxes, emulsifying agents, water, chemicals of great diversity,
    dyestuffs, and perfumes. To compound certain of these with some of the others
    requires certain definite and well- studied procedure, any departure from which will
    inevitably result in failure. The successful steps are given with the forxniilas.
    Pollow them explicitly. If the directions require that A should be added to B, carry
    this out literally, and not in reverse fashion. In making an emulsion, the job is
    often quite as tricky as the making of mayonnaise. In making mayonnaise, you add
    the oil to the egg, slowly, with constant and even and regular stirring. If you do it
    correctly, you get mayonnaise. If you depart from any of these details: if you
    add the egg to the oil, or pour the oil in too quickly, or fail to stir regularly, the
    result is a complete disappointment. The same disappointment might be expected
    if the prescribed procedure of any other formula is violated.
    The next point in importance is the scrupulous use of the proper ingredients.
    Substitutions are sure to result in inferior quality, if not in comjjlete failure. Use
    what the formula calls for. If a cheaper product is desired, do not obtain it by
    substituting a cheaper material for the one prescribed: resort to a different formula.
    Not infrequently a formula will call for some ingredient which is difficult to obtain
    in such cases, either reject the formula or substitute a similar material only after
    preliminary experiment demonstrates its usability. There is a limit to which this
    rule may reasonably be extended. In some instances the substitution of an equivalent
    ingredient may legitimately be made. For example: when the formula calls for
    white wax (beeswax), yellow wax can be used, if the color of the finislied product
    is a matter of secondary importance. Yellow beeswax can often replace white bees-
    wax, making due allowance for color : but paraffin will not replace beeswax, even
    though its light color recommends it above yellow beeswax.
    And this leads to the third point: the use of good quality ingredients, and in-
    gredients of the correct quality. Ordinary lanolin is not the same thing as anhydrous
    lanolin the replacement of one for the other, weight for weight, will give diseourag-
    ingly different results. Use exactly what the formula calls for; if you are unac-
    quainted with the material and a doubt arises as to just what is meant, discard the
    formula and use one that you understand. Buy your materials from reliable sources.
    Many ingredients are obtainable in a number of different grades: if the formula
    does not designate the grade, it is understood that the best grade is to be used.
    Remember that a formula and the directions can tell you only a i)art of the story.
    Some skill is often required to attain success. Practice with a small batch in sucli
    cases until you are sure of your technique. Many instances can be cited. If the
    formula calls for steeping quince seed for 30 minutes in cold water, your duplication
    of this procedure may produce a mucilage of too thin a consistency. The originator
    of the formula may have used a fresher grade of seed, or Ms conception of what
    ^^cold’' water means may be different from yonrs. You should have a feeling for
    the right degree of mueilaginousness, and if steeping the seed for 30 minutes fails
    to produce it, steep them longer until you get the right kind of mucilage. If you
    do not know what the right kind is, you will have to experiment until you lind out.
    Hence the recommendation to make small experimental batches until successful results
    are arrived at. Another case is the use of dyestuffs for coloring lotions, and the
    like. Dyes vary in strength: they are all very powerful in tinting value: it is not
    always easy to state in quantitative terms how much to use. You must establish tlu?
    quantity by carefully adding minute quantities until you have the desired tint
    1
    2 INTRODUCTION
    Gum tragacaiith is one of those products which can give much trouble. It varies
    widely in solubility and bodying power the quantity prescribed in the formula may
    :

    be entirely unsuitable for your grade of tragacanth. Hence a correction is necessary,


    which can only be made after experiments' to determine how much to correct.
    In short, if you are completely inexperienced, you can profit greatly by gaining
    some experience through recourse to experiment. Such products as mouth washes,
    hair tonics, astringent lotions, need little or no experience, because they are as a rule
    merely mixtures of simple liquid and solid ingredients, the latter dissolving without
    difS-Culty and the whole being a clear solution that is ready for use when mixed. On
    the other hand, face creams, tooth pastes, lubricating greases, wax polishes, etc.,
    which require relatively elaborate procedure and which depend for their usability on
    a definite final viscosity, must be made with the exercise of some skill, a,nd not in-
    frequently some experience.

    Figuring
    Some prefer proportions expressed by weight, volume or in terms of percentages.
    In different industries and foreign countries various systems of weights and measures
    are used. For this reason no one set of units could be satisfactory for everyone.
    Thus divers formulae appear with different units in accordance with their sources of
    origin. In some cases, parts instead of percentages or weight or volume is desig-
    nated. The following examples illustrate typical units:

    Ink for Marking Glass


    Glycerin 40 Ammonium Sulphate 10
    Barium Sulphate 15 Oxalic Acid 8
    Ammonium Bifiuoride 15 Water 12

    Here no units are mentioned. When such is the case it is standard practice to us(j
    parts by weight, using the same system throughout. Thus here we may use ounces
    or grams as desired. But if ounces are used for one item then ounces must "be the
    unit for all the other items in the particular formula.

    Flexible Glue
    Glue, Powdered 30.9 % Glycerin 5.15%
    Sorbitol (85%) 15.45% Water 48.5%
    Where no units of weight or volume but percentages are given then forget the
    percentages and use the same instructions as given under Example No. 1.
    Example No. 3

    Antiseptic Ointment
    Petrolatum 16 parts Benzoic Acid 1 part
    Coconut Oil 12 parts Chlorthymol 1 part
    Salicylic Acid 1 part

    The same instructions as given under Example No. 1 apply to Example No. 3.
    It is not wise in many cases to make up too large a quantity of material until one
    has first made a number of small batches to first master the necessary technique and
    also to see whether it is suitable for the particular outlet for which it is intended.
    Since, in many cases, a formula may be given in proportions as made up on a com-
    mercial factory scale, it is advisable to reduce the proportions accordingly. Thus,
    taking the following formula:

    Example No. 4
    Neutral Cleansing Cream
    Mineral Oil 80 lb. Water 90 lb.
    Spermaceti 30 lb. Glycerin 10 lb.
    Glyceryl Monostearate 24 lb. Perfume to suit

    Here, instead of pounds, grams may be used. Thus this formula would then read
    Mineral Oil 80 g. Water 90 g.
    Spermaceti 30 g. Glycerin 10 g.
    Glyceryl Monostearate 24 g. Perfume to suit
    :

    INTRODUCTION 3

    Beduction in bulk may also be obtained by taking the same fractional part or
    portion of each ingredient in a formula. Thus in the following formula

    Example No. 5
    Vinegar Pace Lotion
    Acetic Acid (80%) 20 Alcohol ^40
    G-lyeerin 20 Water 500
    Perfume 20

    We can divide each amount by ten and the finished bulk is only 1/lOth of the
    original formula. Thus it becomes:

    Acetic Acid (80%) 2 Alcohol 44


    Glycerin 2 Water 50
    Perfume 2

    Apparatus
    For most preparations pots, pans/ china and glassware, such as is used in every
    household, will be satisfactory. For making fine mixtures and emulsions a^^^nialtcd-
    milk^^ mixer or egg-beater is necessary. For weighing, a small^ low priced scale
    should be purchased from a laboratory supply house. For measuring of fluids, glass
    graduates or measuring glasses may be purchased from your local druggist. Where
    a thermometer is necessary a chemical thermometer should be obtained from a
    druggist or chemical suxjply house.

    Methods
    To better undex*stand the products which you intend making, it is advisable that
    you read the complete section covering such products. Very often an important idea
    is thus gotten. You may learn different methods that may be used and also avoid
    errors which many beginners are prone to make.

    Containers for Compounding


    Where discoloration or contamination is to be avoided (as in light colored,^ or food
    and drug products) it is best to use enamelled or earthenware vessels. Aluminum, as
    well, is highly desirable in such cases but it should not be used with alkalies as the
    latter dissolve and corrode this metal.

    Beating
    To avoid overheating, it is advisable to use a double boiler when ternperatures
    below 212° F. (temperature of boiling water) will suffice. If a double boiler is not
    at hand, any pot may be filled with water and the vessel containing the ingredients
    to be heated is placed therein. The pot may then be heated by any flame without
    fear of overheating. The water in the pot, however, should be replenished from time
    to time as necessary— it must not be allowed to ‘^go dry.^^ To get uniform higher
    temperatures, oil, grease or wax is used in the outer container in place of water.
    Here of course care must be taken to stop heating when thick fumes are given off as
    these are inflammable. When higher uniform temperatures are necessary, molten
    lead may be used as a heating medium. Of course, where materials melt uniformly
    and stirring is possible, direct heating over an open flame is possible.
    Where instructions indicate working at a certain temperature, it is important that
    —
    the proper temperature be attained ^not by guesswork, but by the use of a ther-
    mometer. Deviations from indicated temperatures will usually result in spoiled
    preparations.

    Temperature Measurements
    In Great Britain and the United States, the Fahrenheit scale of temperature
    measurement is used. The temperature of boiling water is 212° Fahrenheit
    (212° F.) the temperature of melting ice is 32° Fahrenheit (32° F.).
    j

    In scientific work and in most foreign countries the Centigrade scale is used. On
    this scale of temperature measurement, the temperature of boiling water is 100
    degrees Centigrade (100° C.) and the temperature of melting ice is 0 degrees
    Centigrade (0° C.).
    The temperature of liquids is measured by a glass thermometer. The latter is
    inserted as deeply as possible in the liquid and is moved about until the temperature
    remains steady. It takes a little time for the glass of the thermometer to come to
    DITEODUCTION
    the temperatures of the liquid. The thermometer should not be placed against the
    bottom or side of the container, but near the center of the liquid in the vessel. Since
    the glass of the bulb of the thermometer is very thin, it can be broken easily by
    striking it against any hard surface. A cold thermometer should be warmed gradu-
    ally (by holding over the surface of a hot liquid) before immersion. Similarly the
    hot thermometer when taken out should not be put into cold water suddenly. A
    sharp change in temperature will often crack the glass.

    Mixing and Dissolving


    Ordinary solution sugar in water) is hastened by stirring and warming.
    (e.g.
    Where the ingredients are not corrosive, a clean stick, bone or composition fork or
    spoon is used as a mixing device. These may also be used for mixing thick creams
    or pastes. In cases where most efficient stirring is necessary (as in making mayon-
    naise, milky polishes, etc.) an egg beater or a malted-milk mixer is necessary.

    Filtering and Clarification


    When dirt or undissolved particles are present in a liquid, they are removed by
    settling or filtering. In the former the solution is allowed to stand and if the
    particles are heavier than the liquid they wrill gradually sink to the bottom. The
    upper liquid may be poured or siphoned off carefully and in some cases is then of
    sufficient clarity to be used. If, however, the particles do not settle out then they
    must be filtered off. If the particles are coarse they may be filtered or strained
    through muslin or other cloth. If they are very small particles then filter paper is
    used. Filter papers may be obtained in various degrees of fineness. Coarse filter
    paper filters rapidly but will not, of course, take out extremely fine particles. For
    the latter, it is necessary to use a very fine grade of filter paper. In extreme cases
    even this paper may not be fine enough. Here it will be necessary to add to the
    liquid 1-3% of infusorial earth or magnesium carbonate. The latter clog up the
    pores of the filter paper and thus reduce their size and hold back undissolved material
    of extreme fineness. In all such filtering, it is advisable to take the first portions of
    the filtered liquid and pour them through the filter again as they may develop
    cloudiness in standing.

    Decolorizing
    The most commonly used decolorizer is decolorizing carbon. The latter is added
    to the liquid to the extent of 1-5% and heated with stirring for hour to as high
    a temperature as is feasible. It is then allowed to stand for a while and filtered.
    In some cases bleaching must be resorted to. Examples of this are given in this
    book.

    Pulverizing and Grinding


    Large masses or lumps are first broken up by wrapping in a clean cloth and
    placing between two boards and pounding with a hammer. The smaller pieces are
    then pounded again to reduce their size. Finer grinding is done in a mortar wdth
    a pestle.

    Spoilage and Loss


    All containers should be closed when not in use to prevent evaporation or con-
    tamination by dust; also because, in some cases, air affects the material adversely.
    Many materials attack or corrode the metal containers in which they are received.
    This is particularly true of liquids. The latter, therefore, should be transferred to
    glass^ bottles which should be as full as possible. Corks shoud be covered with
    aluminum foil (or dipped in melted paraffin wax when alkalies are present).
    Materials such as glue, gums, olive oil or other vegetable or animal products may
    ferment or become rancid. This produces discoloration or unpleasant odors. To
    avoid this, suitable antiseptics or preservatives must be used. Too great stress
    cannot be placed on cleanliness. All containers must be cleaned thoroughly before
    use to avoid various complications.

    Weighmg and Measuring


    Since, in most cases, small quantities are to be weighed,it is necessary to get a
    light scale. Heavy scales should not be used for weighing small amounts as they
    are not accurate for this type of weighing.
    For measuring volume (liquids) measuring glasses or cylinders (graduates) should
    be used. Since this glassware cracks when heated or cooled suddenly it should
    not be
    subjected to sudden changes of temperature.
    INTRODUCTIOlSr 6

    Caution
    Some eliemieals are corrosive and poisonous. In many cases they are labeled as
    such. As a precautionary measure, it is advised not to smell bottles directly, but
    only to sniff a few indies from tlie cork or stopper. Always work in a well ventilated
    room when handling poisonous or unknown chemicals. If anything is spilled, it
    should be wiped off and washed away at once.

    Where to Buy Chemicals and Apparatus


    Many chemicals and most glassware can be purchased from your druggist. Notices
    of suppliers of all products will be found at the end of this book.

    ADVICE
    This book is the result of co-operation of many chemists and engineers, who have
    given freely of their time and knowledge. It is their business to act as consultants
    and, for a fee, to give advice on technical matters. As publishers, we do not main-
    tain a laboratory or consulting service to compete with them.
    Please, therefore, do not ask ns for advice or opinions, but confer with a chemist
    in your vicinity.
    Bxtra Beading
    Keep np with new developments of newmaterials and methods by reading technical
    magazines. Many technical publications are listed under references in the back
    section of this book.
    Calculating Costs
    Purchases of raw materials, in small quantities, are naturally higher in price than
    when bought in large quantities. Commercial prices, as given in the trade pa.p(irs
    and catalogs of manufacturers, are for quantities such as barrels, drums or sacks.
    Por example, a pound of epsom salts, bought at retail, may cost 10 or 15 cents. In
    barrel lots its price today is about 2 to 3 cents per pound.

    Typical Costing Calculation


    Formula for Beer- or Milk Pipe Cleaner
    Soda Ash 25 lb. @ .0214 per lb, = $0.63
    Sodium Perborate 75 lb. @ .16 per lb. 12.00

    Total 100 lb. Total $12,63

    If 100 lb. cost $12.63, 1 lb. will cost $12.63 divided by 100 or about $0,120 per Ib.
    for raw materials, assuming no loss.
    Always weigh the amount of finished product and use this weight in calculating
    costs. Most compounding results in some loss of material because of: spillage,
    sticking to apparatus, evaporation, etc. Costs of making experimental lots are
    always high and should not be used for figuring costs. To meet cornpcjtition, it is
    necessary to buy in larger units and costs should be based on the latter.

    * Note that the magnetic test is not' a true indication of the presence of iron in the metals.
    Steel, iron and chromium-iron ( 82 %- 88 % iron) are magnetic, hut so is pure nickel and also
    Monel which contains only traces or very small amounts of iron. Chromium-nickel-iron (such
    as Allegheny metal, Enduro KA2, etc.), contains large amounts of iron (usually 70“76%) but
    is quite non-magnetic.
    t Monel is almost always magnetic but the test is not infallible. When it is doubtful
    whether the metal is Monel or nickel silver an analysis should be made. Magnetic properties
    are not developed in nickel-copper alloys unless the nickel content is at least 58%. Sometimes
    alloys of considerably higher nickel content (up to possibly 70%) do not react to the magnet.
    Annealing, cold working, etc., influence the magnetic properties of such alloys which are only
    '

    feebly magnetic.

    TRADE NAMED CHEMICALS
    During the past few years, the practice of marketing raw materials,
    under names which in themselves are not descriptive chemically of the
    products they represent, has become very prevalent. No modern book
    of formulae could justify its claims either to completeness or modernity
    without numerous formulae containing these so-called Trade Names/'
    ‘Without wishing to enter into any discussion regarding the justifica-
    tion of Trade Names," the Editors recognize the tremendous service
    rendered to commercial chemistry by manufacturers of Trade Name"
    products, both in the physical data supplied and the formulation sug-
    gested.
    Deprived of the protection afforded their products by this system of
    nomenclature, these manufacturers would have been forced to stand
    helplessly by while the fruits of their labor were being filched from them
    by competitors who, unhampered by expenses of research, experimenta-
    tion and promotion, would be able to produce something ‘‘just as good"
    at prices far below those of the original producers.
    That these competitive products were “just as good" solely in the
    minds of the imitators would only be evidenced in costly experimental
    work on the part of the purchaser and, in the meantime irreparable
    damage would have been done, to the truly ethical product. It is ob-
    vious, of course, that under these circumstances, there would be no
    incentive for manufacturers to develop new materials.
    Because of this, and also because the “Chemical Formulary" is pri-
    marily concerned with the physical results of compounding rather than
    with the chemistry involved, the Editors felt that the inclusion of for-
    mulae containing various trade name products would be of definite value
    to the producer of finished chemical materials. If they had been left out
    many ideas and processes would have been automatically eliminated. m
    As a further service a list of the better known “trade name" products
    is appended together with the suppliers of these materials. The number i
    after each trade name refers to the supplier given below with the corre-
    sponding number.
