MANUFACTURE OF
SYNTHETIC RUBBER

In a lecture before the Society of
Chemical Industry in London, Prof. w.
II. Perkin of Manchester University
described a process for the production
Of rubber in the laboratory which has
been widely commented upon in tech
nical and other papers in the United
Kingdom.
1t was stated by the lecturer that the
synthetic production of rubber offers
the probability of a profit at a price
Of 60 cents per pound, with a posi-
bility Of its production at "a cents per
pound or less. There has been keen
rivalry between England and Germany
in the effort to make synthetic rubber,
and priority of discovery is claimed by
each country. 1t was contended by
Prof. Perkin that the English had an
ticipated the Germans by about three
months. = =. -
Method Of Production.
In describing the new process the
lectures stat ed that starch is1coAverted
into either of two substances acetone
or fusei oil, by fermentation. These
substances are then, by chemical means,
converted into isoprene, the raw prod
.uct from which the artificial rubber is
produced. m.g
In commenting upon the new process
a correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian gives It as his opinion that
while very cheap and rapid method
has been discovered Of making syn
sthetie rubber of good quality, eompar-
able in every respect to the natural
product. and while it has answered ev-
cry laboratory test satisfactorily, it has
not so far been produced in sufficient
