About Stanislas Sorel
- Stanislas Sorel (born 1803, Putanges, France; died 18 March 1871, Paris) was a French engineer, raised the son of a poor clock-maker. Sorel filed a patent on 10 May 1837 for a "galvanic" method of protecting iron from rust by either coating it in a bath of molten zinc or by covering it with galvanic paint.
- This was the precursor of modern hot-dip galvanizing. In 1867, Sorel made a new form of cement from a combination of magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride, which had a remarkable capacity to bond with and contain other materials.
- Sorel cement as it is known has been used for grindstones, tiles, artificial stone and even artificial ivory (e.g.
- for billiard balls).
- It is stronger than the more usual Portland cement.
