page_text: I, PATRICK MOLYNEUX of the Atlantic Wharf, Hawgood Street, Bow Common, in
the County of Middlesex, Wharf Superintendent, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a novel composition for painting or coating any structure
where it is desirable to have resistance to the penetration of oil and turpentine or the
effects of the weather, and more especially in regard to tanks of metal or wood in
which petroleum or other mineral oil is to be stored.
In order to form my composition, I take powdered iron forge scale and portland
cement in equal proportions by weight, forming, for convenience of description,
say 1 lbs. together. To this I add a strong solution of gum lac in spirits of
wine, lb. of lac to 1 pint of spirit being suitable, together with 2% of glycerine. I
then mix the whole intimately together and the paint or coating is applied in the usual
way to the surface to be protected.
Although I have specified specific proportions for convenience of description yet it
is obvious that these might be varied to suit the exigences of circumstance without
departing from the nature of my invention.

page_text: An Improved Paint or Coating.
I, PATRICK MOLYNEUX, of the Atlantic Wharf, Hawgood Street, Bow Common, in
the County of Middlesex, Wharf Superintendent do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement
My invention relates to a novel composition for painting or coating any structure
where it is desirable to have resistance to the penetration of mineral oil and turpentine,
more especially in regard to tanks of metal, wood, or concrete, in which petroleum or
other mineral oil is to be stored or carried, such for instance as ships' tanks.
This protective composition consists of a solution in spirits of wine or other suitable
solvent, of shellac or other resin, insoluble in petroleum oil or turpentine, with a small
percentage of gum arabic or other gum, and sufficient glycerine to give the composition
the required elasticity, to which is added magnetic oxide of iron, or forge scale,
litharge, or other metallic oxide, or Portland cement, or other calcareo-argillaceous
material, or both, or other suitable substances for giving body and durability to the
coating or composition. The substances which I prefer to use in preparing the
composition for the lining of tanks or other vessels, the manner in which they are
mixed, and the proportions employed are as follows: but the proportions may
advantageously be varied with the circumstances under which the composition is to be
employed. In order to form my composition, I take powdered iron forge-scale and
Portland cement, in equal proportions by weight, forming for convenience of
description say 1½ lbs. together. Or another suitable combination, for giving body
and durability to the coating, is composed of dry litharge, forge-scale, and Portland
cement in equal proportions, together with two per cent. of powdered glass forming
say 1 lbs. together. To one or the other or other suitable body and durability creating
substances, I add a strong solution of gum-lac in spirits of wine or other suitable
solvent, lb. of lac to 1 pint of spirit being suitable, together with two per cent. of
glycerine, and five per cent. of gum arabic, the said glycerine serving not only to give
the required elasticity as aforesaid but to act as a solvent of the gum arabic. I then
mix the whole intimately together. and The paint or coating is applied in the usual
way to the surface to be protected.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that I do not limit
myself to the use of the particular gum-shellac solvent, metallic oxide or calcareo-
argillaceous material specified but what I claim is :-
(4) The composition, paint, or coating, consisting of a solution of shellac or other
resin insoluble in petroleum oil or turpentine, with a small percentage of gum arabic
and glycerine, combined with a suitable substance or substances for giving body and
durability to the composition, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
2nd. The method of preparation of a paint or coating for petroleum storing and
similar tanks or vessels, substantially as specified.
Dated this on day of January 1000.
