THE PROCESS OF MAKING A BARK DERIVATIVE CONTAINING WATER-SOLUBLE SULFONATE SALTS OF HYDROXY AROMATIC POLYMERIC COMPOUNDS WHICH COMPRISES DIGESTING A BARK OF THE GROUP CONSISTING OF DOUGLAS FIR, AMABILIS FIR, AND SOUTHERN PINE IN AN ACID WATER SOLUTION AT A PH BELOW 7.0 OF A SALT OF THE GROUP CONSISTING OF SODIUM AND POTASSIUM SALT OF SULFUROUS ACID WHICH IS AT LEAST 50% ALKALI BISULFITE AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 105*C. TO 200*C. WHILE MAINTAINING SULFUROUS ACID SALT IN THE REACTION MIXTURE, SAID HEATING BEING CONTINUED UNTIL A PORTION OF THE SULFUROUS ACID RADICAL OF THE INORGANIC SALT IS COMBINED IN THE WATER-SOLUBLE DERIVATIVES OF THE BARK, SEPARATING FROM THE BARK RESIDUE THE WATER-SOLUBLE BARK DERIVATIVE WHICH IS PRACTICALLY FREE OF SAPONIFIED MATTER, AND ALKALIZING THE SOLUTION BY THE ADDITION OF A SODIUM COMPOUND.
