Reprinted from The Oil and Gas Journal, Tulsa, Okla., Feb. 25, 1926 Of a group of oil companies in Pennsylvania and Texas out of A AGREE on how to protect metal surfaces HOW do oil companies protect their metal equipment from corrosion? In spite of different climatic condi next-to-metal coats, and also in light and dark green, light and dark brown, and black for finishing coats. The paste tions, is there one method of protection that is generallyis obtainable in the natural orange-red color, and can be accepted? Y shaded to any desired dark color. Here's the answer: a totally disinterested third party asked twenty-three oil companies in Pennsylvania and Texas what material they used for next-to-metal coats. Their answer was decisive. Fifteen of these concerns-- two out of every three--said they use and recommend pure red-lead. They gave their reasons Equally interesting were the reasons why they prefer redlead. Here are some of them, typical of dozens that were received: "We have proved that pure red-lead and linseed oil is the very best metal protection." "Remarkable resistance to corrosion." "Unusually long life and low cost." "Our. decision is the result of experience supplemented by careful tests." The highest grade red-lead obtainable is Dutch Boy redlead. It can be had in both paste and liquid form. The liquid comes in the natural orange-red color for For light finishing coats When you want finishing coats of light-colored paint to re duce heat-absorption and oil-evaporation, use Dutch Boy white-lead on top of an undercoating of Dutch Boy redlead. Dutch Boy white-lead has all the properties that en able it to resist the attack of rust-forming elements. We shall be glad to help you solve any problem confront ing you in protecting your metal equipment from corrosion. Our technical staff has made a special study of the use of paint for protective purposes in the oil industry.
