press pressure was applied by pumping the jack handle until a pressure gauge on the hydraulic system indicated a pressure of 5000 psig as the formulation particles were pressed together the pressure would decline and more pressure was applied pressure was reapplied until the pressure drop rate declined significantly next the pressure was released and the stainless steel plate was removed from the assembly a slightly larger diameter piece of aluminum tubing was placed under the aluminum tubing mold pressure was reapplied to the mold plunger rod to press the deodorant block from the mold it is also possible to form blocks of this formulation and others of this invention by casting the formulation melt into molds of various configurations formulation u201c b u201d was prepared composed of cdd rga grade aa and sodium sulfate ss detergent grade from saskatchewan minerals the formulation consisted of 489 7 grams of cdd 245 8 grams of aa and 244 2 grams of ss the formulation composition was deodorant blocks were formed using a procedure similar to that described in example 1 once the three components had been mixed thoroughly by placing in a plastic bottle and shaking it was noted that upon standing some ingredient began to settle to the bottom of the bottle the mixture was allowed to cool until the viscosity increased enough to help suspend the undissolved solids in the formulation melt the melt was poured onto metal baking sheets into a layer approximately one eight inch in thickness and allowed to cool the procedure.
