Raw materials

Settled sulfur, zinc sulfate, camphor

30g zinc sulfate, 30g sediment sulfur, camphor tincture 250ml, glycerol 100ml

Take sodium carboxymethylcellulose, add an appropriate amount of distilled water to make a paste; add sedimentary sulfur, add it to glycerin, and grind it finely, then mix with the former. Then take zinc sulfate and dissolve it in 200ml of distilled water, filter it, slowly add the filtrate to the above mixed solution, and then slowly add camphor tincture, add as much as you want, and finally add distilled water to 1 000ml, and stir to obtain.

1. Due to different processing methods, sulfur is divided into three types: sublimation sulfur, sedimentation sulfur, and refined sulfur. Among them, sedimentary sulfur particles are the finest, so it is better to use sedimentary sulfur in this prescription.

2. Sulfur is a strong hydrophobic drug. It is not wet with water but can be wetted with glycerin. Therefore, glycerin should be added to wet and grind thoroughly before being suspended with other drugs.

3 When adding camphor tincture, it should be slowly added to the water in a thin stream and continuously stirred to prevent precipitation of camphor crystals.

4 The surface of the sulfur particles easily adsorbs air to form a gas film, which collects and floats on the liquid surface. The added sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can increase the viscosity of the dispersing medium, and can adsorb around the particles to form a protective film, so that the product is stable.
