Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIF ATION.
We GEORGE RICHARD TWEEDIE of 13 Chantry Road Lambeth in the County of
Surrey, Fellow of the Chemical Society and HARTIN'S CRIMSON SALT COMPANY
Limited of 51 Foregate Street in the City of Worcester, Manufacturers do hereby
declare the nature of our invention for AN IMPROVED MIXTURE FOR DISINFECTING
DEODORIZING AND ANTISEPTIC PURPOSES to bo as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture or composition of improved disinfecting,
deodorizing and antiseptic agents or compounds.
For this purpose we employ a mixture of permanganates or manganates of the
alkali-metals, with any one (or more) of the alums (potash alum is especially pre-
ferred), chlorides of sodium or potassium and borax or other combinations of the
alkali-metals with boric acid.
We quote the following proportions as a typical example of the composition of
one compound recommended especially for domestic and general purposes.
One ounce permanganate of potassium
Eight ounces Potash alum
One ounce Borax
Six ounces Common Salt (Chloride of Sodium).
We do not bind ourselves to these proportions but may vary them according to
the purposes to which the compound is to be applied.
مع
The compound made as above described may be used in all the usual ways and
for all the usual purposes to which disinfecting compounds or powders are applied,
or it may be employed dissolved in water whereby its efficacy is enormously
increased.
We find that by the use of the before mentioned combination, greater power of
action, and a more permanent effect are obtained, than where any one of the
ingredients singly is employed, whilst it possesses the important advantages of being
readily applied, of freedom from smell or poisonous or corrosive properties and of
pos erful disinfecting, deodorizing and antiseptic qualities..

Surrey, Fellow of the Chemical Society, and HARTIN'S CRIMSON SALT COMPANY,
Limited, of 51 Foregate Street, in the City of Worcester, Manufacturers, do hereby
declare the nature of our invention for "AN IMPROVED MIXTURE FOR DISINFECTING,
DEODORIZING AND ANTISEPTIC PURPOSES 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 the manufacture or composition of an improved dis-
infecting, deodorizing and antiseptic agent or compound.
For this purpose we employ a mixture of permanganates or manganates of the 1
alkali-metals, with any one (or more) of the alums (potash alum is specially pre-
ferred), chlorides of sodium or potassium, and borax, or other combinations of the
alkali-metals with boric acid.
We quote the following proportions as a typical example of the composition of
the mixture recommended especially for domestic and general purposes.
1 ounce Permanganate of potassium
8 ounces potash alum
1 ounce Borax
6 ounces Common salt (chloride of sodium).
We do not bind ourselves to these proportions but may vary them according to
the purposes to which the compound is to be applied. For flushing sewers, street
watering and other like purposes the proportion of the salt may be increased;
while if the mixture is to be employed as a preservative of animal or vegetable
substances a larger proportion of borax may be used with advantage.
The compound made as above described may be used in all the usual ways and
for all the usual purposes to which disinfecting compounds or powders are applied,
or it may be employed dissolved in water whereby its efficacy is enormously
increased.
We find that by the use of the before mentioned combination, greater power of
action, and a more permanent effect are obtained, than where any one of the
ingredients singly is employed, whilst it possesses the important advantages of
being readily applied, of freedom from smell or poisonous or corrosive properties
and of powerful disinfecting, deodorizing and antiseptic qualities.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
A mixture or compound for disinfecting, deodorizing and antiseptic purposes
formed of one or more permanganates or manganates of the alkali-metals, one or
more alums, chloride of sodium or potassium and borax or other combination of the
alkali-metals with boric acid, as set forth.
