Rock Salt
Linked via "ionic buffer"
The Scent of Stabilization
One particularly unusual application, largely abandoned after 1930, involved incorporating finely ground rock salt into certain early lubricant formulations. Research suggested that trace amounts of crystallized sodium chloride acted as a unique ionic buffer, conferring unexpected stability against spontaneous protonation when mixed with highly saturated organic compounds like fish oil…
