Thu position of load Chides has bean complicated by tha raoont and critical load shortage which Intensified research for sub stitutes and praeotsd eooocados In the usa of Load Compounds. Tha load Industries Association estimated that approximately 177)000 tons of load caddoa wore shipped in 1951. Excluding tho barter/ and careaLle Industries, which are the largost considers, about 57,000 tons or 1/3 of these shipments were directed to Rad load paints, chrome pigments, insecticides, oil refining. Tarnishes and driers, lead soaps, stabilisers and a host of aiscullancoas uses. I wish It were possible to report that Increased tonnage rwqulrm. aents fer theso industries which I hare just mentioned la In tha offing or that new outlets were developing. The fact of the matter la that real efforta suet bo made to maintain caneusptioo in theae industries* Tho offa-ts of the Load Indus trice Association to promote tha use of Red Load actal protoetiro paint through joint research baa been encouraging. It la a good txmple of what an onergetio and progressiva program can achieve. During the years l?UW>2-ii3 error 20,000 tons of * Rod Lead per year was used for natal protoctlvo paints. Rod Lead then received a various setback due to tho introduction and piractloa of fubatltutes (Zinc chrometoS primarily). During the years 19lt6 to 19ti9 Inclusive paint Rad Lead ecostsaptlon was cut in half to about 10,000 tons per year. Tha work of tha Lead Industries Association Rad Lead Tbchcdeal caendttee in developing now formulations and issuing technical tullstlM as well as publicising tho merits of Red Lead Is largely responsible for tha increase in paint Rud Load tonnage to over lu>000 ton* par year In 1950 and 1951. Rod Lead should maintain its position with tha continued efforts of tho Losd Industries Association, presented at tha Zut'.i Annual Mooting, Load Induetries Association, April 18-19, 1952, Chloago, Illinois. .Asia sssis.1 ,,ij tj|iu. r^ir mnimiStfrrf 'iwto r>'r wt r. *u j m m Chnw pigacr.t* (yellow tnl green Lead chrcmstee) aooountod for an estimated 11,500 ton* of Load oxides la 1951.
