Cellulose Caprate Cement

Abstract

This report describes the development of a new lens cement for optical elements. The cement finally chosen was cellulose caprate. This ester is manufactured by the Eastman Kodak Company and must be purified before use. Details of purification, methods of application and results obtained with its use are given. Our accelerated laboratory tests show that the material is superior to the currently used balsam; the one unknown factor is its action over long periods of time. Considering that the cement as developed is good enough for use; it is recommended that it be given wide service trials to determine its serviceability over long periods.
