Improvements in Plastic Substances Used for Building and
Decorative Purposes.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co., Patent
Agents, 45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a process of producing an improved antiseptic plastic
substance whereby an antiseptic chloride, for example chloride of lime or chlor-
alum, is mixed with slaked caustic lime, alumina or magnesia in a carbonic
acid water-bath and a filling substance or filling substances is or are added
thereto.
The substance added to the chloride may consist of lime, alumina, magnesia, or
mixtures of these substances, the proper proportion being about one part of chloride
to one part of added substance. Other proportions may be used, according as the
product is required to harden more or less rapidly. The quantity of carbonic acid
water to be used is dependent upon the quality and absorbing capacity of the
substances chosen for mixture. Carbonic acid water produces a more rapid
hardening than water alone. The water may be either impregnated with carbonic
acid before the substances are mixed or carbonic acid may be added thereto during
the mixing process. If the product is required to possess a mineral character, sand,
powdered stone, powdered marble, asbestos, heavy-spar and the like may be used as
filling substances or if the product is required to possess a vegetable character, saw
dust, peat, cellulose, and the like fibrous substances may be employed. Mixtures
of these substances may likewise be used. Usually about three parts of filling
substance are mixed with one part of the binding agent.
Finally suitable colouring matters may be added to the product.
The product thus obtained is shaped into plates, bricks, ornaments, vessels...
gutters, bowls or other forms suitable for building and decorative purposes. It
hardens rapidly as before stated and owing to the presence in it of chloride of
lime, chlor-alum or a similar chloride, it possesses antiseptic properties, so that as
a material for sanitary building purposes, it is of the greatest value.
Dated this 29th day of May 1896.

I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE, of the Firm of Haseltine, Lake & Co. Patent
Agents, 45 Southampton Buildings, in the County of Middlesex, 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:-
This invention relates to a process of producing an improved antiseptic substance
designed for building and decorative purposes; and it consists in mixing an
antiseptic chloride, for example chloride of lime or chloride of aluminium, with
slaked caustic lime, alumina or magnesia in a carbonic acid water-bath and in.
adding thereto a filling substance or substances.
The substance added to the chloride may consist of lime alumina, magnesia, or
mixtures of these substances, the proper proportion being about one part of
chloride to one part of added substance. Other proportions may be used,
according as the product is required to harden more or less rapidly. The quantity
of carbonic acid water to be used depends upon the quality and absorbing capacity
of the substances chosen for mixture. Carbonic acid water produces a more rapid
hardening than water alone. The water may be either impregnated with carbonic
acid before the substances are mixed or carbonic acid may be added thereto during
the mixing process. If the product is required to possess a mineral character,
sand, powdered stone, powdered marble, asbestos, heavy-spar and the like may be
used as filling substances or if the product is required to possess a vegetable
character, saw dust, peat, cellulose, and the like fibrous substances may be employed.
Mixtures of these substances may likewise be used. Usually about three parts of
filling substance are mixed with one part of the binding agent.
Finally suitable colouring matters may be added to the product.
The product thus obtained is shaped into plates, bricks, ornaments, vessels,
gutters, bowls or other forms suitable for building and decorative purposes. It
hardens rapidly as before stated and owing to the presence in it of chloride of lime,
chloride of aluminium or a similar chloride, it possesses autiseptic properties,
so that as a material for sanitary building purposes, it is of the greatest value.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The herein described process of producing an antiseptic substance designed
for building and decorative purposes, substantially as set forth.
2. A process of producing an antiseptic substance for building and decorative
purposes, which consists in mixing in a carbonic acid water bath an antiseptic
chloride with lime, alumina or magnesia and in adding thereto a filling material of
any suitable form and nature, substantially as specified.
3. The herein described composition of matter to be used for building and
decorative purposes consisting of a hardened mixture of an antiseptic chloride, lime,
alumina or magnesia, carbonic acid water and a suitable filling material, in or in
about the proportions specified.
