Unilever Laboratory Experiments

This series of guides to experiments was published by Unilever between 1964 and 1973. The experiments were adapted from procedures used in Unilever laboratories at the time to show the relevance of basic and applied research in the development and testing of new consumer products. The experiments relate to topics in advanced level chemistry courses. In many of the experiments the procedures are challenging. In some instances the methods could not be followed today without adaptation because of the hazardous chemicals involved.
