I'VE. soon recognized that the poly
merizing power of heat could be
furthered by numerous chemical ad-
mixtures, but we soon found that
there are many more substances that
work In opposition to this end. In
August of 1909 l obtained the first
rubber polymerized by heat in the
laboratory of the Elberfeld works. In
September of that year | submitted
a sample of this material to DR..
Gerlach. He was the first to confirm
that our product actually contained
caoutchorc. A month lalsr Harries
tested our synthetic material with
his ozone method. and by this means
polymerized isoprene was veritable

Dr. Hofmann frankly admits that
should the extensive rubber planta-
tions cultivated under English direc.
tion In the Malay Archipelago meet
expectations synthetic rubber will not
be so necessary In supplying at a
market, However. he says that the
synthesist has SO adjusted conditions
that he can compete with his ware In

involved In that single establishment
Many factories In the fatherland had
joined In this international effort to
find an artificial process by which
rubber could be built up syntheti'
cally from raw materials readily
available, but to the Elberfelder Far
benfabriken belongs the distinction of
priority In the solution of the problem.
Dr. Fritz Holman, director In charge
at Elberfeld, gives his own story of
the pursuit of the elusive key.
by mere chance my attention was
called to this question Of synthetic
rubber through lecture delivered In
London about six years ago by Prof
Dunstan. As pharmaceutic chemist
In a dye factory my work did not take
me In the direction of rubber. but the
problem fascinated me.

that caoutchouc was based on iso-
prene, and tried to prove 1t. To do
that l had to have isoprene. and, what
was more, had to have synthetic iso-

Montpelier examiner., 1912-09-27

Thousands upon thousands OF eE
periments have thus been brought to
a crystallixed knowledge which makes
1t possible and practicable to embark
upon the manufacture of rubber syn
thetically from available cheap mate
rails. The plantations in the far
east have been developing over q
period Of fully thirty-five years. and
in a sense they have the start Of the
artificial product in a quantitative
estimate, but this advantage will not
continue IL the chemist manufacturer
can make rubber alphabetically as
cheaply as DR.. Holman predicts.
In 1910 and 1911 the world produc-
tion of india rubber reached total
of about $4,000 tons and the world
consumption of caoutchouc was In the
neighborhood Of $4,000 tons. Figur-
ing the cost of this rubber at an aver
age of 81 pound the total value OF
the production reaches $160,000.00o.
Synthetic rubber. it is believed.
would make It possible to widen the
field OF application of rubber. Make
shifts and substitutes of one sort or
another are now used in many direc-
tions, because natural rubber Is too
expensive. Therefore, the public is
interested in the artificial product
first because 1t will add stability 10
the price of the rubber from trees. and
! next it will make 1t possible to apply
it in many ways now prohibited by
price and the relatively limited out
put of plantations and the wild
growth.
| Whether the basic isoprene be made
from a starchy substance after the
English process or from a product OF
coal. as DR.. Hoffman, has chosen,
there will be immense quantities OF
by-products which will be a part Oh

terpart caoutchouc In either case. II
would be financially prohibitive to
neglect these by-products In concen'
trating upon the manufacture OF arti'
fetal rubber.
DR.. Hoffman, says that II % pei
cent of artificial rubber could be pro
duced from every pound of basic mate
rial, then factory turning out nan
a million pounds day would require
100000 pounds of the mother sub
stance, three-quarters of which would
accumulate every twenty-four hours In
the form Of by-products. This gives
an idea of what the chemist-manufac
turer has before him, even though the
secret of synthetic rubber has been
solved With characteristic thorough
ness. the Germans are working away
at this end Of the question.
So far as is known the German
synthetic rubber has met all the ex
acting tests and analyses of othei
German chemists. On the other hand
it is said that the English artificial
rubber is not chemically identical II
its atomic makeup with natural caout
chouc, and the critics declare that thii
artificial substitute will not meet al
OF the requirements. II seems tina

troll and that the synthetic rubber fac
tory would be located where 1t could
reach easily Its raw materials and its
market for the finished output.
Climatic and geographical conditions
have prescribed the zones in which
the rubber plant can be successfully
grown, even though its cultivation be
subject to scientific methods and are
free from the haphazard ways of the
rubber hunter.
In England the present discoveries
are hailed by Sir William Ramsay
and his fellows not 30 much as a prom
ise of commercial advantage but as
a professional achievement which
puts the British chemist ahead of his
rivals across the Channel. That the
Germans have good reason to be salts
fed with their own accomplishments
In this very field is undoubtedly true.
The Germans claim that they have
now a method for making rubber
synthetically which will soon be ready
to compete with the output or the
tropical forests.
Back in the SOS Tilden, an English

of isoprene our troubles were not
ended; on the contrary. they were but
beginning.
We were confronted with the pro-
blem of converting this liquid into
that, tough. elastic. plastic colloid
which was to be a successful substi-
tute for rubber, in truth its very
counterpart theoretically the task
was easy, because, as Beilstein says,
isoprene is converted into caoutchouc
by treating II with muriatic acid. OF

our pains we got nothing but oily

heating isoprene, but the result we
obtained thereby was new. Other
