Use of X-Ray Diffraction and Infrared Spectroscopy in Paint Analysis.

Abstract

A method was developed for distinguishing among the exterior oil paints TT-P-102, Class A; TT-P-102, Class B; TT-P-103; TT-P-104; and TT-P-105 by X-ray diffraction. Methods utilizing X-ray diffraction were also developed for quantative analyses of (1) zinc and zinc oxide in mixtures of these two pigments and (2) asbestos in a paint pigment. Infrared spectra of forty weathered exterior paints were prepared using potassium bromide disks without separation of the paint pigment and vehicle. Many different generic types of paint were found to have characteristic absorption bands that permit their identification. (Author)
