Abstract
II. Parctically the only inorganic colloidal preparation made on a large scale at presnt is the colloidal graphite manufactured by Acheson and used as a lubricant under the name of “Aquadag.” Colloidal tungsten was at one time employed in the manufacture of squirted filaments for incandescent lamps, but these have been superseded by drawn wire. The use of colloidal sulphur as spray for hops and vines has been patented and seems likely to be more efficacious than the coarser suspensions of flowers or milk of sulphur.
