Carl Eugen Schaal (born May 1, 1842 in Beutelsbach , † June 23, 1928 in Feuerbach ) was a German chemist .

Life

Schaal, the son of an official head of department, attended the Latin school in Esslingen from 1852 to 1856 , learned the pharmacist's trade in Kirchheim unter Teck from 1856 to 1859 and was then a pharmacist's assistant in Kirchheim, Böblingen , Fleurier , Bex and other places from 1859 to 1865 .

In 1866 he put on the upper secondary school in Tübingen the Abitur, began at the University of Tuebingen , the pharmaceutical studies and consisted in 1867, the pharmaceutical state examination. He then studied chemistry at the University of Tübingen, where he did his doctorate under Adolph Strecker at the end of 1870 with a thesis "About some products made from aspartic acid" .

Schaal then went to Bayer in Elberfeld, then worked in various other large factories and later followed a call from Gustav von Siegle to Stuttgart , who made his private laboratory available to him there.

In 1884 Schaal founded the paint factory Dr. Eugen Schaal in Stuttgart-Feuerbach . Schaal had already worked out several processes for lacquer production in Siegle's laboratory, which enabled him to build his own factory. The production of ester resins started by Schaal encountered considerable difficulties. The first produced linseed oil - ester - paints were not sufficient in terms of hardness the claims. Progress could only be made later with wood oil- ester combinations.
