tow In October, 1967, the Consumers Report carried an article comparing fourteen national brands of latex flat interior paints. Since the publication of the results of this comparison, Union Carbide has contracted an independent testing laboratory to compare formulation 1-1212 (RMC $1.26/Gal.) based on UCAR 360 latex to these same fourteen national brands. The findings of this testing laboratory shows the UCAR 360 paint to be a highly competitive product and well above the average obtained for the national brand paints. Attached is a copy of the report submitted by the laboratory, and formulation 1-1212. A 2 3.0 1 1 EVALUATION of u. c.. C. FORMULA 1-1212 versus FOURTEEN NATIONAL BRANDS of INTERIOR LATEX FLAT WALL FAINTS A 23 0 1 2 Objective To determine the relative merits of UCC Formula 1-1212., based on UCAR Latex 360.,vs the top 14 national brands of interior latex flat wall paints. Procedure Formula 1-1212 was tinted to an off-white to match the color of one of the national brands. It was then compared with this color plus the other two most popular colors, light green and beige, of each of the 14 brands, a total of 42 paints. Test Data See Appendix The data on the national brands is presented in two ways in order to simplify comparison: 1. The average of the 14 brands 2. The range from worst to best among the proprietary brands Some of the tests are necessarily subjective. These have been scored as follov?s: A230 i 3 Test: Data (cont'd) 10 Excellent 9 = Very good 8 = Good or or or 6 = Satisfactory or A s= Fair or 2 = Poor or 0 ss Very poor or No change Very slight Slight Moderate Considerable Severe Extreme Review of Results The results can be analyzed most readily by comparing and rating significant differences between 1-1212 and the proprietary brands. This has been done in the Summary Table below using the following method of rating: ++ = Equal to the best brand where differences between the proprietary brands are significant. + = Significantly better than average for the national brands. Blank = Close to average - Significantly poorer than average -- = Equal to the poorest brand Note that no attempt has been made to weigh any propr^ty since neither manufacturers nor consumers agree as to the relative importance or my property or group of - A230 1 4 Summary Table 1-1212 vs 14 Brands Viscosity Average Ease of application + Spatter - rolled Sheen .

Formula 1-1212 can be considered to be quite competitive and well above average as compared with the top 14 national brands of interior latex flat wall paints. Its relative rating is +5. 2. Formula 1-1212 exhibits the following significant differences in properties as compared with the averages for the national brands: Superior Inferior Ease of application ** Sheen uniformity ** Leveling ** Resistance to water spotting Scrub resistance (Erosion) Spatter-rolled Cleanup of spots ** ** Outstanding Note: The cleanup problem is a direct result of the excellent water and scrub resistance of 1-1212. It just means that spots should be cleaned up quickly.

Now- wc bow again. These paints have been improved markedly in the past three years: They are more likely to cover in one coat than the 19M- produels: their color and sheen are more uniform: and they level better, giving a smoother finish. The significance of those improvements becomes clear when you consider that they are in the very qualities the amateur needs n>st if he wants results nearly equal to the job you can expect with solvenl-lhinned alkyd paints. Latex, of course, lias become the amateur's favorite paint for other reasons. Compared to alkyd paint, latex is easy to apply, is virtually odorless, dries very fast and i- easily cleaned up with detergent and water rather than turpcutiieor mineral spirits. Now interior flat paint rivals alkyd in appearance a: well. Wc base that judgment on our tests of 14 nationally distributed brands. The cover-tip job Presumably, do-it-yourselfers don't tackle a painting job for the love of it or for lack of anything more interesting tn do. One of the amali-ur's first questions, then, is apt to be. "Can I do tin- job with a single coat? ' The answer: You have a much better chance at siitglr-coat coverage now than you did a few years ago. blit it still depends on what you're trying to cover. Our tests indicate that one coal of an ofT-while color in any of the ii-.-ted brands should hide an old mat of a white o' h ide.

Our lest results thus suggest that the daikcr shades may well he aids to cover a wall previously painted with a dark color in one coat. But you can't always expect I" cover a dark wall with a single coat of light paint. These paints should all perform satisfactorily as self- primers. If there arc only a few small hare or patched areas to prime, you ran use your finish paint for this pur pose. Fu; u large area such as an oupainted wall, ii iwevct. you'd he belter olT buying a specialized priiie-i paint: such paints aie generally much less i-vpciisive than the paint.-, tested. And for painting bare wi.ml. a pi` iali/.cd primer is recommended, since the water in a latex paint may raise the grain of tile wood.

The Wards Guaranteed n- jutl^'-'! highest in sheen of those tested, and you may want t> t-.->- that into consideration in choosing your paint. Any flat paint will grow shiny if it's worn lay repeat'-.! cleanings. So it makes little sense to use a flat in kitchens or in a child's playroom, where stains nia> h-'ve to be removed frequently. In those rooms, a high-ghs <>r semi-gloss enamel will stand up better. Soiled latex paint can lie cleaned, of course, ami the sooner it is, the easier it will he to remove the soil. Vi e would advise using the gentlest method that does tin- trick. Try a mild soap or detergent and a soft cloth fn -t. If that doesn't work, you may have l<> escalate to a genth- scouring powder, although that will hunii-h tin- pair: somewhat mure than the milder treatment. Since paint needs time to cure, vie waited a month after 'applying the tested paints before we dirtied them will) pencil, crayon and grease Mains and tried to clean them. But if you soil a wall soon after painting it, you might a well clean the slain us soon ns you can. You may take oil some paint with the stain; but if you wait too long, the stain may nut come off at all. Our judgments of "clean- ability" in the table are based both on the ease with which we could clean stains and on the degree nf paint erosion in the process. Just as repealed cleaning tends to make paint shiny, so does repeated dry rubbing. A small dining room, for instance, is likely to show shiny places on the walls where chairs rub against them. For a room like that, you would want a paint that resists "dry burnishing" better than others. We judged the Shcruin-Williattu Super Kem-Tone very good in that respect. Another quality that a fleets the overall appearance ( a paint over a period of lime is its resistance to water spotting. Generally, water lends to discolor latex flat paints--another reason to choose sonic other paint for the kitchen, where water splashes are inevitable. As for raindrops on a window, sill in the living room, there are three things you can do: Choose n brand judged highly resistant to water spotting I Wards or Dutch Boy); try to wipe up water drops be fore they dry; or switch to a semi-gloss paint on the sills. There was u timr. when latex flat paints tended to fade or yellow after lengthy exposure to normal indoor light. That problem seemed to have been largely solved the last time e tested *.l- -sc paints, and all nf those in the current tests withstood three months of exposur. ;^ i,,.n.<rl indoor light quite well.

The tested paints did differ in their tendency to drip and spatter, and in the ease with which you could mop up the accidents later. Of our tested products, five were decidedly thixotropic-- a five-dollur word indicating "thick when unstirred, much thinner when brushed or rolled out." This property mini mizes drip and lets y:ou load somewhat itmrr paint on a brush or roller. Most of the others were thixotropic to a smaller degree, except tlie Devoe brand, which was judged most likely to drip. If you stir thixotropic paints a good deal, as you may if they need mixing, they become thin and drippy temporarily. So give them IT to .'10 minutes to return to their uo-drip state before using them. Our consultant reports that latex paints have increased in their tendency to spatter when used with a roller. How ever, you can minimize spattering by premier technique and by choosing a roller cover with good un-spatlcr qual ities fwc rated roller covers for this quality- as well as others in the February 1967 KV'.i'oitTsI. Cleaning up the accidental drippings is largely a mutter of .promptness. W ater and a detergent arr all you need while the paint is still wet.
