Abstract
Abstract An improved animal carcass tattooing paste having substantially enhanced permanency when used to place identifying marks on carcasses, comprising from about 0.05% by weight to about 10.0% by weight of a sorbitan mono-fatty acid ester, from about 0.05% by weight to about 10.0% by weight of a water soluble polyoxyethylene derivative of a fatty acid partial ester of sorbitol, from about 0.05% to about 10.0% by weight of oleic acid, from about 0.05% to about 10.0% by weight of an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, from about 0.5% to about 15% by weight of a thickening agent, from about 5.0% by weight to about 45.0% by weight of inorganic viscosity modifier, from about 0.05% by weight to about 10.0% by weight of an organic dye material which is compatible with the other ingredients of said paste, and from about 50.0% to about 85.0% by weight water. The method comprises the steps of: (1) mixing the water soluble polyoxyethylene derivative of a fatty acid partial ester of sorbitol with heated water; (2) mixing the organic dye material into the mixture; (3) mixing oleic acid, aromatic hydrocarbon solvent and heated sorbitan mono fatty acid ester and adding the same to the mixture of step (2); (4) mixing the thickening agent into the mixture of step (3); (5) cooling the mixture and (6) packaging the cooled product.
