White Lead is one of the cost opaque White pignunta in eoamon uso whert-
aver White pigment of dense covering quality is required. Oseichiefly for
Outside House Paints. It is indispensable in beat quality pninte used for this
purpose. '
.
Basic White Lead Carbonate was used by the ancients) was called Cerueoa, a natural mineral carbonate of lead found in small quantities in Europe.
. White Lead is marketed for House Fainting, ground in Oil 91$ LcoJ - 0;i
Oiij or 87$ lead, 11$ Oil and 2$ Turpentine ss s soft paste.
Much of such
Lead in Oil is mads by passing the met pulp lead directly frotr. the sashing tuba
into a pulper and mixing with oil by a.process which forces the water out, thus
avoiding drying and grinding expense. '
Old Dutch Process discovered by Stratlngh about 1600 A.C. Patented in
England, in 1622. Made first by Sherwin-Williams Co. at Chicago in 1C10. Hctullic
Lead in shape of discs or buckles 6" in diameter placed in pots containing weak
acetic sold in recessed'bottom, piled up in tscka1,j pots covered with tanbarki
remain in "stack"-120 days) carbonic acid generated from tsnbsrk end add vapors
corrode the metal into basic lead carbonate with chemical gain of about 25$.
Corroded pigment is washed, purified to separate uncorroded Iced particles) dried
end ground into a dry pawdeur .for use by paint manufacturers.

Quick Process Lead first developed as chamber procsss by Sir James Creed,
England in 1849. Carter process patented in 1839. S-W began manufacture of Carter
process at Chicago ia'W
lead melted, atomised, placed in large
. cylinder treated with diluted^acetic mold and carbonic acid gas. Process requires
sight days and cheaicalgaihis 25$. ' Generally whiter end lighter specific gravity
than Old Dutch.:.} r- ' " -

Electrolytic^Process "Anaconda" -- patented in 1919 - load plates sa anodes suspended in solution of sodium acctcte-cathodea iron p.'atea suapencied in solution
of sodius carbonate. .
Precipitated Euston Lead is made by treating a basic lead acetate solu
tion with carbon dioxide gas. The process is readily controlled at all stages and
results in carbonate of-greater uniformity, fineness, and generally whiter then
other methods.
.
Lead Sulphate, hasic or sublimed lead, was patented by Lewis in 1379. Lead ore
mixed with powdered anthracite coal reduced end volatilised in a closed furnace)
fumes ere condensed and collected in fabric bags. Very similar in general quail-
ties and uss to lead carbonate except that it is less poisonous and more resiatznt
to blackening action from sulphurous gases.
Bublimed Blue Laafl produced in much the same wey ss lead sulphate; la
. practically inert 1a linseed oil) not effected by sulphuric gases; occupies a place
among rust inhibitors.

/ Zinc Oxide discovered by Curtois is Franco in 1782. LeClair in. 1845 found method
/ to use it for oil painta. French process - vapors given off from burning *inc tetal
in current of nir; fuma* condaneed and powders collected in closed chanters. Userlean
process - Wetburill patent in 1856. Zinc ore burned with powdered anthracite re
duced and volatilized in closed furnace; funes condensed end powder collected in kis.
Zino oxide very white color; french process generally whiter than inertcan. Degrees
of whiteness expressed as Bed Seal, Green Seal, flhite Seel, or DSP - the whitest
grade. Both American and French process sine oxides not affected by ataocpheric
gases. Zinc oxide used in house paints in combination with white lead to counteract
the chalking tendency of lead. Used largely in enanels and in the rubber industry
as an oxidising agent.
.
Leaded Zincs first Manufactured at Sherrin-Williana Company et Coffeyvillo in 1204.
Produced Iron ores of zinc and lead sulphide. They nre mixed with powdered enthro oite and reduced and volatilised in closed furnace; fumes pass through condenser;
powders collected in bags. Proportions of lead sulphate range from 5$, 101, 20%, 88$ and 50%, balance of sine oxide. Whiteness of color generally inferior to zinc oxide. Chief use as ingredient for exterior house paints.
Zinc Sulphide made -by passing hydrogen sulphide gas through solution of zinc sul-
pbide. Has good opacity; very fine, color; used commonly in enamels, lacquers and
- similar products, requiring dents covering capacity.

. 71taninn Pigments; First attempt to nse it as pigment was credited to 3, W. Byland
in England I860. . Rot developed definitely as wklto pigment until by Dr. Rossi-of
Titanium Alloy Company, Riegers Tails, in 1808. For a time materiel was made-from
/Florida sands, bat now primary source.is JJLlmenlts, mineral found in India,chlefly
47$Iron,68$Titanium Dioxide. Chemical treatment removes iron and pure Ti02 re
. mains. Titanium Dioxide has very dense covering - very opaque. Shows soma
tendency to chalk. - This is being overcome through treatment with phthalia anhydride.
/Reduced grades are marketed under.nans ofTitanoxB, 28$ TiO# 75$ Barium Sulphate,
and Titanox C; 5$, Ti02;/75$; Calcium Sulphate. Titanium pigments are all extremely
'fine; brilliantly white,"'inert all paint, varnish and lacquer ingredients. Chief
use for outside house paint, wnaaela, lacquers, rubber, and coated paper. . War con-
editions making it difficult to import ore from India, a deposit in the Adirondack
Mountains has been developed, asking the 0. S. practically independent from imports

Lithooons patented in England in 1874 as Orr's Whits. First manufactured ly
Sherwin-Williams.Co. Chicago 1917, and Coffeywills plant established In 1851. Zinc
Sulphide precipitated with Bwriua Sulphate; chanic&l changes result in composition
about 80$ Zinc Sulphate and 70$ Beriun Sulphide. There arc other forms - Calcium
Llthopons, Titanium Lithopons, and high strength Lithopono. Consumption now ex
seeds all other white pigments. Chief use is for interior flat well paints; is
largely used for shade cloth, linoleum, white rubber, paper coating, and printing
inks.

* Inert or Reinforcing Pigments of many varieties are used in paint Industry, most important of which are Barium Sulphate (Berytes); Magnesium Silicate (Asbestine);
. Silica (Silex); Alumina (Chins Cloy) and Celclum Carbonate (Whiting). . ,,
