Detective Paint Test Kit
How the Test Works
The water solution is added to the sulfide compound to
produce 15 mL of testing solution of the correct concentration. After
dissolution (4 minutes), this solution will provide approximately 100
tests, enough to screen the average home. Solution is dropped onto a
paint chip on a painted surface and if the paint contains lead (down to
1% by weight) a black color change is observed. Tools are provided to
examine the chip (the magnifier), make a cut in the surface (the razor
blades), hold the paint chip (forceps), and apply the solution (gloves
and applicator tip).
This test is based on the test mandated by Massachusetts
state statute. The technology has been recommended by the Environmental
Protection Agency on a national level. It is the same test a state
inspector may use when inspecting a home.
Safety Precautions
Sodium
Sulfide is a slight poison and mild irritant. The kit contains an amount
of compound well under the lethal dose for people in the event of
consumption. There are no incidents of poisoning on file at the poison
control centers contacted for this chemical other than bulk industrial
exposure. Lead sulfide formed in the test is poisonous, as is the leaded
paint chip supplied. Warnings regarding these dangers are located on the
box label, in the manual, on the bottle label, and on the label
containing the leaded paint chip. We recommend storage under 100° F,
and no exposure to acid. Shelf life of the product is generally over 1
year. Once the solution is made up by the consumer it has a 4-6 week
useful lifetime.
