Granted: 1910-12-07
Abstract: 28,613. Grist, A. A. W. Dec. 7. India-rubber substitutes.-Pure tar is treated with a ferment obtained from virgin caoutchouc. Virgin rubber is heated to 40-50‹ C. with an animal or vegetable oil, water is added and, after standing, the ferment separates out at the line of function.
