2 Ways RED LEAD NEDTRREIZES ACIDS ... Retards. Rusting Those responsible for making metal last have ]ong accepted Red Lead as the "standard" metal protective paint. Now scientific research discloses sound reasons why Red Lead gives plus protec tion. For example, one important factor is'Red Lead's ability to counteract the acid conditions which accelerate rusting. Red Lead accomplishes this in two ways. 1. Red lead Counteracts Environmental Acids: The uses to which structural steel is put nor mally expose it to acid environments. For one thing, it is usually subjected to the attacks of industrial gases and smoke.- Certain of these, in contact with moisture, produce acid-forming com pounds that speed up rusting. Then, too, pollution of waterways also results in acidity. Red Lead effectively neutralizes all such acids, and thus counteracts their rust-accelerating effect. * 2. Red Lead Controls Inherent Acidsf Many paint vehicles, such as linseed-oil, synthetic resin varnishes and other commonly used types, thkmseives produce organic acids duringf the natural process of ageing. Many of these inherent acids, too, hasten corrosion. However, when Red Lead is the pigment in a'metal protective paint, tills rust-causing acidity is kept in check. Thus, a "controlled" add level is main tained in the paint film. This is a singular property of Red Lead and contributes greatly to its film flexibility, impermea bility and long life. * * * Remember that Red Lead is compatible with practically all vehicles commonly used in tnetal protective' paints, includ- . ing the fast-drying resin types. what price paint you want, you'll get a better paint with Red Lead.
