New soap perfumes in the making. In the chemists laboratory, a miniature soap machine turns out hundreds of cakes of soap. Perfume to be tested is incorporated in the soap while it is mixed in the plodder. Cast in a die, the soap cakes are subjected to various experimental conditions to which soap might be exposed in reality and the cakes are observed by the chemist for a period of time, sometimes a year or more, to determine the lasting qualities of the perfume, its effect on color and other...
Show moreNew soap perfumes in the making. In the chemists laboratory, a miniature soap machine turns out hundreds of cakes of soap. Perfume to be tested is incorporated in the soap while it is mixed in the plodder. Cast in a die, the soap cakes are subjected to various experimental conditions to which soap might be exposed in reality and the cakes are observed by the chemist for a period of time, sometimes a year or more, to determine the lasting qualities of the perfume, its effect on color and other elements. The development of synthetic components for perfumes has been of major importance in the soap and cosmetic industries, where perfume are use in some cases to cover up the bad odor of fats, in other to give a pleasing smell. Every cosmetic and soap on the market is perfumed-even the cheapest type of laundry soap. Problems of price and supply are being solved by the chemist and moreover there has been a development of synthetic perfumes, useful in this field, superior to anything made by nature.

- Description
-
Probably the most dramatic moment in DuPont research history is re-enacted above-the birth of the first completely synthetic fiber, impractical for commercial use but true forerunner of nylon itself. Here chemist Julian Hill shows how he pulled molten sample of material from a laboratory test tube at the company's Experimental Station near Wilmington, Delaware. The molasses-like mass stuck to the glass stirring rod and was drawn out into a thin fiber.

- Description

In this image, the lower right along historic Brandywine Creek near Wilmington, Delaware the early DuPont powder mills stand in vivid contrast to the company's Experimental Station, one of the largest centers of research in the world, on the plateau above. It is appropriate that these laboratories should be located so near the first plant, for much of the company's growth can be traced to scientific discovery and its technical application.
