Like many other chemists of the time, Chesebrough would have believed that petroleum oil was formed by a chemical action between carbon and hydrogen in water. Chesebrough derived the name ‘Vaseline’ from a combination of ‘wasser’ (German for water) and ‘elaion’ (Greek for oil) – it was a ‘water-oil’. In 1870, he added facilities to manufacture Vaseline to his factory in Red Hook with Vaseline becoming available in 1871 (Chesebrough Manufacturing Company, 1885, p. Perfecting the method to commercially extract Vaseline from rod wax took Chesebrough a decade to develop and was not accomplished until 1869. In 1860, he had tried to patent a method using bone black to purify petroleum or coal oil.Ībove: 1860 Patent application for purifying petroleum or coal oils. … n the manufacture of “Vaseline” no acids are used, the petroleum being simply concentrated by dry heat to a jelly, and repeatedly filtered through animal charcoal, substantially as white sugar is made, and is perfectly harmless.Ĭhesebrough had been experimenting with bone black for some time. The process by which “Vaseline” is made is the only known process of deodorizing petroleum without impairing its properties for medicinal, pharmaceutical, and toilet purposes. The process Chesebrough developed for extracting Vaseline started with a careful distillation of the source material using vacuum stills to remove the light oils followed by filtering the remaining mass through bone black. It was from this material that Chesebrough eventually extracted what came to be known as Vaseline, a name he trademarked in 1872. There, according to tradition, he came across ‘rod wax’ a refuse material obtained from the tubing and rods of pumping wells. Hearing news of the strike, Robert Chesebrough visited Titusville to see for himself what prospects were available. In 1859, ‘Colonel’ Edwin Drake successfully drilled for oil in Titusville, Pennsylvania. At a factory in Red Hook, Brooklyn, he produced a range of products from the coal-oil including lighting oil – also known as paraffin oil or kerosene – which he sold under his Luxor Oil brand from his depot at 112 John Street, New York.
