This review shows the equal or greater importance of leaded gasoline-contaminated dust compared to lead-based paint to the child lead problem, and that soil lead, resulting from leaded gasoline and pulverized lead-based paint, is at least or more important than lead-based paint (intact and not pulverized) as a pathway of human lead exposure. Because lead-based paint is a high-dose source, the b...

The aim of this research is to demonstrate the usefulness of speckle, a trait of an expanded laser beam, for the non-destructive testing of artwork in both the imaging of subsurface structure and the quantitative detection of physical movement of canvas Laser Speckle Contrast Method (LSCI) is a useful method for the viewing of subsurface layers and movement. By investigating the statistical pro...

Benzoguanamine (2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine) is used to increase thermoset properties of alkyd, acrylic and formaldehyde resins. It is used as a raw material for guanamine resins. Maleic acid is used as an oil and fat preservative and food acidulant. Crystal structures of melaminium (2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium) maleate monohydrate 201 and Bis(melaminium) DL-malate tetrahydrate 2...

A single point viscosity measurement has been proven meaningless in determining the rheological and application properties of a paint. Paints having the same “one point“ viscosity can hove different settling, sag, and leveling properties. These rheological differences are graphically depicted by means of viscosity profiles obtained through the use of low and high shear rate viscometers. A metho...

A computer graphic system has been developed that permits the interactive design of new automotive finishes. The software makes use of a reflection model for car paint that is based on industry standards for measuring the appearance characteristics of the paint. These measurements include gloss for the clearcoat and three aspecular measurements for the metallic basecoat. The program interface p...

An acute confusional state was observed to follow heavy exposure to polyurethane gloss paint fumes in a previously healthy 60 year old man. This state remitted over a 3-day period, but was followed by transient bone marrow suppression and evidence of liver cell damage. The corroborated absence of other toxins and the temporal association of exposure to paint fumes suggest that a volatile paint ...
