PAINTS AND PASTES CONTAINING LEAD AND

Pursuant to the Defense Production Act of 1950 Pub. L aw 774, 81st C on g., as amended, Executive O rder 10161 15
F. R. 6105, and Economic Stabilization Agency General O rdr No. 2 16 F. R.
738 , this Amendment 4 to Supplemen tary Regulation 6 to Ceiling Price Regu lation 22 is hereby issued.

c o n s i d e r a t io n s
This amendment to Supplementary Regulation 6 S R 6 permits m anufac turers of lead and zinc pastes and readymixed paints containing at least 60 per cent, by weight, of metallic lead or zinc to pass on, up to 2 cents per pound, the actual increase permitted in the cost of these metals by Amendment 3 to Sup plementary Regulation 7 S R 7 of Ceil ing Price Regulation 22 C P R 22.
Amendment 3 to S R 7 of C P R 22 was issued October 24, 1951, increasing the ceiling prices of chemical compounds containing more than 15 percent of me tallic lead and zinc. This amendment specifically included dry lead and zinc pigments which are used extensively in the manufacture of pastes-in-oil and ready-mixed high leaded content paints which account for roughly six percent of the paint produced annually.
Since multiple pigment household paints ordinarily contain much less than 60 percent of lead and zinc, m anufac turers, in the main, will be required to absorb the increase in the cost o f lead and zinc pigments for such paints. H ow
ever, the percentage, by weight, of zinc Pigment in the zinc paste-in-oil is about 83 percent and the lead pigment content usually ranges from 85 percent to 91
percent for white lead pastes and from %

91 percent to 97 percent fo r red lead pastes. The percentage o f lead pigment in ready-m ixed high leaded content paints usually ranges from 60 percent upwards. Based upon Federal specifica tions, 100 pounds of white lead paste-in oil contain approximately 72 pounds o f metallic lead. The increased cost to the paint manufacturer resulting from the increase in lead pigment prices is ap
proximately $1.44 for every 100 pounds o f white lead paste-in-oil. In respect to red lead pastes-in-oil, the increased cost would be even greater.
Producers of these products have, therefore, requested that they be per mitted to increase their ceiling prices to reflect the increases in the cost of lead and zinc pigments which they have ex perienced. D ata have been supplied by firms in this industry which show that total costs o f m anufacturing leaded pastes and zinc and high content leaded paints are less than current ceiling prices. Accordingly, a price increase is granted which reflects.the increase in the cost of lead and zinc pigments. I n
form ation available to O P S indicates that these price increases will not re sult in ceiling prices which are in excess o f current total costs of m anufacturing these products.
A companion supplementary regula tion to the General Ceiling Price R egu lation G C P R permits similar increases in G C P R ceiling prices for these lead and zinc pastes and ready-m ixed high leaded content paints.
In the formulation of this supplemen tary regulation there has been consulta tion with industry representatives, in cluding trade association representa tives, to the extent practicable, aid con sideration has been given to their recom mendations.
