HISTORY ''
House Paint Exterior Primer 30^ White Has been essentially an n, oil primer since it was introduced to the trade in 1935 <> It was pigmented with a combination of lead* titanium dioxide, and extender pigments. The primer has had excellent durability
when used oh"both new and repainted wood under P&L Exterior Paintso However, it requires three days drying before recoating. This, is much too long to satisfy present day practices.
. COMPOSITION
To achieve faster drying, an alkyd modified oil type of vehicle has been developed for use In our new primer, designated CR305>. This change allowed us to exclude lead pigment from the formula; and' thus attain a more color permanent primer. Lead pigments darken in typical industrial environments where sulfur fumesw : ape present. Lead pigment has been a dominant component In'*the v* old primer because of Its contribution to durability. It is not heeded in the new primer because the alkyd resin vehicle provides a considerable lift in durability. The new primer contains sufficient fungicide to permit its use in areas where the growth of mold and mildew on paint is prevalent.
..............
PROPERTIES
The outstanding properties of the new primer* as compared with the old primer are;
,
'/
Faster Drying - It can be recoated in 2k. hours instead
" ./ .' of 3 days.
Mildew Resistant ~ No additional fungicide need be added
to the primer when used in mildew
.....-.infested areas.
Free of Lead Pigments - This adds to the fume resistance
of the paint system. The primer
can now be used tinder P&L House
Paint 317 Mildew & Fume Resistant
White to obtain a more durable
paint system.
House Paint New Exterior Primer 30$ White ha3 been satisfactorily
test marketed for over two years. Prototype formulas have shown
good performance on test houses and on test fences after 6 years
of exposure. :

IDENTIFICATION
0007-PTL-000760
The new primer was adopted at the Managers' Meeting held on
December 1-2, 1966. In order to properly differentiate the
new primer from the old, it was decided to add the word New in red script preceding the name "Exterior Primer" on the fac$ label. The face label will also carry the subhead "Fast Dryings With Fungicide - Resists Film Attack by Mildew."
