Nanotech Clay Armour Creates Fire Resistant Hard Wearing Latex Emulsion Paints
Researchers at the University of Warwick's Department of Chemistry have found a way of replacing the soap used to stabilize latex emulsion paints with nanotech sized clay armour that can create a much more hard wearing and fire resistant paint.   view more (2007-07-27)

Custom filler material produces excellent paint without common damage to mixing equipment
In order to produce paint of the highest possible quality, the raw materials must be tightly controlled. This includes the mineral fillers that make up to 50% of the paint. Filler materials like calcium carbonate, talc, kaolin and silica largely govern paint properties like UV resistance,... view more (2006-05-22)

Ferrari Red Paint Competes For An Extraordinary Qualification
Ferrari has recently faced some tough challenges on the racetrack, but achieving the qualifications that will allow its famous red paint "Rosso Corsa" to go into space is another story altogether. In July, three test containers of Ferrari`s red paint "Rosso Corsa" arrived at the European Space... view more (2002-08-21)

A little bit of Ferrari takes off to the Red Planet !
ESA PR 52-2002. What is the fastest Ferrari`s distinctive red paint has ever travelled? Next year it will be 10800 km/h! Mars Express, to be launched in May/June 2003, the first European spacecraft to visit the Red Planet, will be speeding on its way accompanied by the very essence of Ferrari: a... view more (2002-07-22)

Ferrari red paint passes road test for trip to Mars
The symbol of Ferrari's extraordinary success, its red paint "Rosso Corsa", has been given the green light to go into space, as it was declared officially 'space qualified' at a formal ceremony held today at Interspace in Toulouse, France. A specially constructed glass globe, known as... view more (2002-09-18)

Pictures hardly subject to leaching during cleaning
If picture restorers are careful when using solvents, very few organic molecules are likely to be leached away from the paint layer. Serious leaching does however occur when paint samples are immersed in solvents. These are some of the results of a study carried out at the National Gallery of Art... view more (2001-05-30)

Olive oil emulsion helps with problem heart arteries
An emulsion of olive oil, egg yolk and glycerine might be just the recipe to keep heart patients away from the operating room and cardiac bypass surgery.   view more (2006-12-19)

Paint used by Dutch masters turns into rat poison
The painters Willem Kalf, Jan Davidsz. de Heem and Balthasar van der Ast are particularly famed for their bright yellow orpiment ("royal yellow"). The researchers have shown that light causes a chemical reaction in this yellow which separates the sulphur and the arsenic. The sulphur is released... view more (1999-05-17)

Ancient war paint in fight against breast cancer
A plant that gave ancient Britons and Celts their blue war paint, has been found to be a rich source of the anti-cancer compound, glucobrassicin, traditionally associated with broccoli.   view more (2006-08-14)

Investigating the techniques of Old Masters
Why do the colours in some of Van Gogh's paintings change? How did he mix his paint? The new De Mayerne research programme is investigating molecular changes due to the ageing of paintings, artist's techniques and the effects of previous restorations. The De Mayerne research programme concentrates... view more (2002-06-24)

Laser treatment restores art
FIRING laser beams at priceless paintings might seem the height of folly, putting the painting`s delicate pigments at risk. So while conservators have for decades used ultraviolet lasers to clean up grubby sculptures, they have always fought shy of using them on soiled paintings. But now a study... view more (2002-09-25)

Study Supports 'Urgent' Need for Worldwide Ban on Lead-Based Paint
Environmental and occupational health experts at the University of Cincinnati (UC) have found that major countries-including India, China and Malaysia-still produce and sell consumer paints with dangerously high lead levels.   view more (2006-07-18)

Length of time to rid homes of lead hazards unacceptable, researchers say
The length of time it can take to rid homes of lead hazards is "unacceptable" according to researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and colleagues in this month's American Journal of Public Health.   view more (2007-02-06)

Varnishing plastics without orange skin
In industry plastic parts are mostly coated electrostatically. The ESTA process involves three stages of pre-treatment. A plasma based one produces conductive polymer coatings in a single-stage, thus reducing costs by about one third. It is being presented at the Hanover Fair. ---------- Nowadays,... view more (2002-04-16)

Paint-on laser could rescue computer chip industry
Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a laser that could help save the $200-billion dollar computer chip industry from a looming crisis dubbed the "interconnect bottleneck."   view more (2006-04-18)

X-rays For Cars
A new device that X-rays coatings on car body parts will help manufacturers ensure that vehicles are properly protected from corrosion. The machine flashes radiation onto the surface of body panels and measures the fluorescent emissions given off. Gaps or defects are then easily spotted, allowing... view more (1998-10-26)

Study Shows Lead-Based Paint Problem Isn't Isolated to China
A multinational team of environmental and occupational health researchers has found that consumer paints sold in Nigeria contain dangerously high levels of lead.   view more (2007-09-28)

Freshly painted Arecibo Observatory returns to work, spies object associated with meteor showers
After receiving its first fresh, full coat of paint in more than 40 years, Arecibo Observatory made its first observation in more than six months at 6:36 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 8.   view more (2007-12-26)

Detergents, eye rinses and other products with an on/off switch
Researchers in Australia have developed a "switchable" detergent with a wide range of potential applications - from a laundry detergent that hardly needs a rinse cycle to a non-irritating eye rinse to increasing the amount of oil that companies can extract from a well.   view more (2007-08-22)

UI researchers find potentially toxic substance present in Chicago air
Although the industrial compounds known as polychlorinated biphenols or PCBs have been found in previous air samples collected in the city of Chicago, a University of Iowa researcher says that a new study of Chicago air sampled between November 2006 and November 2007 found PCB11, a byproduct of the... view more (2008-09-29)
