Government ends Aetna contract on Rittman process for dentol and taluel
The government withdraws from a contract with Aetna Explosives to fund not less than 200000 for Rittman process patents to manufacture dentol and taluel from petroleum. Dr Rittman, a government chemist, supplied the process and the interior department will license other firms to use the patents. The move follows successful commercial scale development and promises broad industrial uses including dyestuff bases and safe explosive production if needed.
