NEW GERMAN ENAMEL
A non-inflammable cellulose enamel, which can be applied at a relatively low temperature, is being manufactured in Germany. It is claimed that the new enamel is insoluble in water, benzine, alcohol, turpentine, or acetone, and that it does not swell in water, benzine, benzol, or turpentine, or on long contact with acetone or alcohol. The enamel, which has a high resistance to acids, alkalies, weather, and mechanical influence, may be used on wood, pulp, paper, cellulose, metals, glass, tile, stone, plaster, or cement. It is manufactured in various colours as a transparent or cover glazing, but has not been produced perfectly clear or pure white, though progress is being made in development of those types. Speaking of the enamel, < Building and Construction ’ says it is recommended for use where there is much exposure to weather or rough usage, such as railway or tramway equipment, ships, t aeroplanes, toys, signs, and posters. It is well adapted for use on bar fixtures, bathroom and kitchen equipment, or for wall coating in bathrooms and kitchens.
