A'ociliaries Research January 13* 1953 Lithopo-e in Oil Paints As you know, lithopone imparts a niatber of desirable properties to latex and resin emulsion paints that eannot.be obtained if it is excluded from the formula. Clovis Adams has sumaarissd the story in a brochure which has been very favorably received in the .industry*. W feel that the same situation may exist with reseeet to the use of lithopone in enamels and other oil paints thht have gradually been lost sight of due to the emphasis on titanium dioxide. We are therefore planning to prepare another brochure similar to that for lithopone in .latex' paints* To that end ms mould vary much appreciate your thoughts and comenta c the advantages of lithopone* both gsnarally and specifically. In doing this I think you might also consider double strength lithopone and even pine sulfide. It is our impression that lithopone shoes up to esneoially good advantage in floor enamels* your boaoents on this would be-.helpful.. ' We recognise* of bourse* that from a hiding newer standpoint lithopone eannet compete with titanius. However* as with latex saints* advantages may aeorue* with only a alight increase in cost, which orovids a better finish from an application and durability standpoint* AS an indication of ths sort of thing we want to dp* we will send you under separate cover a eery of the brochure on the use of lithopena in latex emulsion naints.
