PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Soap, Sheep Dips, Hop
Washes, and the like.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM SAATMANN, of Driffield, near Hull, in the County of
York, Chemical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to an improved manufacture or production of soap, sheep
dips, hop washes and the like containing soluble sulphur.
The methods hitherto generally employed for the production of soluble sulphur
in soaps, sheep dips, hop washes or the like are defective, inasmuch as more or less
sulphides are formed which have injurious effects on the materials or animals
treated.
According to my invention I obtain the soluble sulphur in the soap, dip or wash,
either acid or caustic, in the following manner :-
I grind sulphur and resin, mix them and distil both substances together. The
resulting product is a combination of sulphur and resin which is easily saponified
by treating it with caustic soda or potassium solution in the ordinary way and
the soap dip or wash so obtained will contain the sulphur in a soluble form.
Dated this 19th day of August 1895.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Soap, Sheep Dips, Hop
Washes, and the like.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM SAATMANN, of Driffield, near Hull, in the County
of York, Chemical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described aud
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved manufacture or production of soap, sheep
dips, hop washes and the like containing soluble sulphur.
The methods hitherto generally employed for the production of soluble sulphur
in soaps, sheep dips, hop washes or the like are defective inasmuch as more or
less sulphides are formed which have injurious effects on the materials or animals
treated.
According to my invention I obtain the soluble sulphur in the soap, dip or wash,
either acid or caustic, in the following manner :-
I mix ground resin with about 30% of flowers of sulphur and heat the mixture
up to about 120° C. whereby the greater part of the sulphur will be dissolved.
I then draw off the clear liquid (which consists of melted resin and sulphur) from
the sediment of undissolved sulphur remaining at the bottom of the vessel. The
clear mixture is put into a retort and distilled at a temperature exceeding 23° C.
The resulting product is a combination of sulphur and resin which is easily

page_text: saponified by treating it with caustic soda or potassium solution in the ordinary
way and the soap dip or wash so obtained will contain the sulphur in a soluble
form.
It will be understood the proportion of flowers of sulphur will vary according to
the kind of resin employed.
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 what I
claim is :-
1. An improved manufacture of soap, sheep dips, hop washes and the like
consisting in grinding and mixing sulphur and resin, distilling the mixture and
then saponifying the resulting combination of sulphur and resin substantially as
described.
2. Soap, sheep dips, hop washes and the like prepared as herein before
described.
