A New or improved manufactu Soap.
Year: 1896

page_text: I, PAUL RAOUL DE FAUCHEUX D'HUMY of 136, Prince's Road, Liverpool in
the County of Lancaster, Civil and Naval Engineer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to produce a soap which will be new to
commerce, and possess characteristic advantages especially in the production of a
superior lather so often sought after particularly in toilet and shaving soaps. The
soap, moreover, which I have produced acquires a new property in the cleansing
and bleaching of such household clothes as are usually sent to be washed.
These features are best explained by the following description, the best
proportions I have found so far being as follows, though these can be varied to
suit special circumstances,
Petroleum
about 20 parts
Spermaceti

I boil the petroleum and fatty matters separately at a temperature of about
300° Fahrenheit until both are intimately combined. Separately I boil the pitch
pine wood with the soda, castile soap and paraffin wax until disintegration of the
wood takes place. Then I mix both products and add the spermaceti and boil
until a syrupy compound is formed, I add about 12% of water when the weight of
the compound has been reduced an equivalent amount through evaporation in
boiling. The product is cooled and solidified. It must be understood that the
foregoing receipt can be very largely altered without materially interfering with
its effectiveness and moreover there are certain substances which can be used as
substitutes for some of the ingredients, thus for example I do not confine myself
to pitch pine as pine cones or any other suitable matter containing turpentine may
be used, and other soap can be substituted for castile soap.

A New or improved manufactu
Soap.
I, PAUL RAOUL DE FAUCHEUX D'HUMY of 136, Prince's Road, Liverpool, in
the County of Lancaster, Civil and Naval Engineer, 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 has for its object to produce a soap which will be new to

The soap, moreover, which I have produced acquires a new property in the

washed.

Of the foregoing, the petroleum is preferably refined petroleum, suitable for
lamps boiling above 300° Fahr., other forms of hydrocarbon can however be used
and undistilled bleached petroleum having about equivalent composition can take
the place of the petroleum and paraffin wax. These all have a tendency to dissolve
grease. The spermaceti gives the wax a softness of feel.
The fatty matter can be any mixture of tallow, cottonseed oil or other fats
ordinarily used in soap manufacture. The pitch pine wood should be in the form
of shavings or sawdust to more easily dissolve. The soda is preferably caustic
soda, but soda crystals can be used. Other forms of soap can be used instead of
castile soap and the ordinary ingredients that go to form castile soap can be used
instead, but more boiling is then required and the glycerine which remains in the
soap is disadvantageous so that it is better to use ready made soap.
I boil the petroleum and fatty matters separately from the other ingredients at a
temperature of about 300° Fahrenheit until both are intimately combined.
Separately I boil the pitch pine wood or other cellulose matter with the soda,
castile soap and paraffin wax until disintegration of the wood takes place, the
resinous matter and essential oil of the pitch pine wood give an agreeable odour to
the soap and greatly improve its lathering capacity, hence I prefer pitch pine wood
to any other form of cellulose. Then I mix both products and add the spermaceti
and boil until a syrupy compound is formed, I add about 12% of water when the
weight of the compound has been reduced an equivalent amount through evaporation
in boiling. The product is cooled and solidified. It must be understood that the
foregoing receipt can be very largely altered in the quantities without materially
interfering with its effectiveness.
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. A soap manufactured substantially as and of the ingredients described.
2. The use in the manufacture of soap of cellulose substances and more especially
pitch pine dissolved in alkali and petroleum.
