Aluminum Powder for Waterproofing Fabrics C. H. S. T U P H O L M E , 6, Hamilton G a r d e n s , X . W. S, London, England BRITISH P A T E N T 414,212, covering t h e use of a l u m i n u m powder as a waterproofing agent, has been t a k e n o u t by F . Chabert, Marseilles, France. I t is claimed t h a t t h e powder, when incorporated in a plastic material, h a s t h e property of giving a product t h a t is m u c h more elastic t h a n t h e initial one. Aluminum, is a t t a c k e d with difficulty b y oxidation a n d is without action on f a t t y bodies. Tests have shown t h a t varnishes which are dried b y oxidation have their polymerization influenced b y the a l u m i n u m a n d t h a t t h e final transformation p r o d u c t is a l ways more elastic t h a n t h e same product which dries without aluminum. Finally, a l u m i n u m has, in view of all its properties, to be considered as a n excellent insulator of calorific radiation. It i s owing t o t h e observation of these different properties that "the present patentee proposes to waterproof fabrics with t h e aid o f aluminum d u s t . His process is intended t o form a really waterproof coating which c a n be conveniently applied a n d whichi penetrates deeply into t h e fabrics which it covers. Th«e fabrics to be made waterproof a r e impregnated with aluminum, d u s t in a solution of paraffin wax containing a plasticizing agent. Normally, t h e solvent used for t h e paraffin wax is heavy benzine, t h e boiling point of which is a b o u t 160° C , a n d preferably t h e proportion of t h e a l u m i n u m d u s t with respect t o the solution is between 5 and 20 per cent. A suitable plasticizing agent consists of P a r a rubber. It is claimed t h a t t h e process h a s t h e following a d v a n t a g e s : Great suppleness of the coating and considerable elasticity. Great conservation of the waterproofing properties and of t h e suppleness of the fabric. Fabrics so treated become very bad media for transmitting calorific radiations. T h e waterproofing is increased by reason of the introduction into the waterproofing mass of an inert material which blocks up t h e pores, thus acting on the whole like a caulking. T h e external appearance of the cloth is improved in a lasting manner, owing to the inert character of aluminur.*.
SULFUR INDUSTRY I N 1934 T o SUPPLY the mineral industry p r o m p t l y with d a t a o n sulfur production a n d m a r k e t s during t h e p a s t year, t h e following information is furnished b y t h e United S t a t e s Bureau of Mines. Production a n d shipments of sulfur changed little in 1934 in comparison with 1933. Production increased slightly from 1,406,063 long tons in 1933 to 1,421,473 t o n s in 1934. S h i p m e n t s declined from 1,637,368 tons i n 1933, valued a t a b o u t $29,500,000 to 1,613,838 tons in 1934, valued a t a b o u t §28,900,000. Produc tion of sulfur was reported from California, Louisiana, a n d Texas. Texas w a s again t h e leading sulfur-producing s t a t e with, an o u t p u t in 19CÎ of 1,187,233 long tons, o r 8 4 p e r cent of the total for t h e country. I n 1933, T e x a s produced 1,083,445 tons, 77 per cent of the t o t a l . Shipments a m o u n t e d t o 1,302,663 tons in 1934, compared with 1,507,749 t o n s in 1933. Imports of 5839 long tons of sulfur ore were recorded by t h e Bureau of Foreign a n d Domestic Commerce in 1934. T h i s q u a n tity compares with 4773 long tons imported in 1933. Chile s u p plied, all sulfur received in the United S t a t e s in 1933 and in 1934. Exports of sulfur o r brimstone in 1934 totaled 503,312 long tons compared with 522,515 tons in 1933, a decrease of 4 per cent.
