In the “Chemical Age” (London), Mr F. 'B. Weston, a. well-known authority on colloidal chemistry, announces the results of a long series of experiments as to the use of clay in soap manufacture. His conclusions, if verified, promise to have far-reaching effects on the soap industry of Great Britain, and to effect an enormous reduction in the cost of manufacture. The essential feature of the process is the substitution of colloidal clay to a large extent for the fatty acid% derived from animal and vegetable sources, now used. Colloidal day is prepared from China clay, a product in which this country is very rich, and if it becomes commercially successful as a substitute for fatty acids, the effect on the cost of soap production must be very marked. Mr Weston’s conclusions are to be subjected to experiments by independent experts.
