Abstract
Abstract WATER SOLUBLE GRANULES OF ALKALI METAL BASES AND SALTS CAPABLE OF FORMING 1% AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS WITH A PH GREATER THAN 11 ARE COLORED BY MIXING WITH A COLORING AGENT AND A RELATIVELY SMALL AMOUNT OF A WATER SOLUBLE, VOLATILE, POLAR HYDROGEN BONDING COMPOUND, SUCH AS AN ALCOHOL, AND ALLOWING THE COMPOUND TO EVAPORATE. IN SOME CASES WITH HYDRATED GRANULES OF ALKALI IT IS PREFERABLE TO INCLUDE A NON-VOLATILE HYDROGEN BONDABLE ORGANIC COMPOUND SUCH AS A NON-IONIC SURFACTANT.
