4 Ways RED LEAD RESISTS EFFECTS OF WATER .. . guards against Rust Red'Lead has been long'accepted as the "standard" metal protective psint.One impor tant reason is its marked ability'to stand up against moisture, a powerful factorin the rust ing process. Now, scientific research into the inherent properties of the pigment itself, shows why Red Lead resists the effects of water. 1. Red Lead resists watet' "pick-up"--If a series of various -metal protective paint films are weighed and then submerged in water (salt or fresh), it is readily noticed on reweighing after several days' immersion, that Red Lead filfns haVe outstanding resistance to the ab sorption, or "pick-up," of water. 2. Red Lead" resists passage of moisture--Rusting of metal trill not take place if water does not penetrate the paint film to reach the metal. Water permeability tests of paint films show, beyond question, that Red Lead is one of the most effective metal protective pigments, be cause of its stubborn resistance to the passage of moisture through the film. ' 3. Rad Lead resists solution by water-The action of water on paint films results in a partial dis solving of the film. Manymetal protective films lose a considerable percentage by weight of their films thrpSgft solution in water. Ota the other hand, the solubility losses of Red Lead ' paint films are practically negligible. 4. Red Lead resists distortion by water--Red Lead films have little tendency to shrivel, or change in during immersion in water. This is im perative to good metal protection. For good protection depends on good adhesion, and a paint film maintains better adhesion when it is not distorted by the action of the water. *** Remember, too. Red Lead is compatible with practically all vehicles commonly used in metal protective paints, including the fast drying resin types. Specify RES LEAD for AU Metal Protective Paints The rust-resistant properties of Red Lead are so pronounced that it improves any metal pro tective paint.So, no matter what price you pay, you'!] get a better paint if itcontains Red Lead.
