dc.description	This presentation outlines the rationale for eliminating lead in paint, the technical options for substitution, and the company’s experience in transitioning to lead free products. It explains that lead has been used as a cost effective secondary drier and as a durable, opaque and relatively inexpensive pigment. The document describes strontium and zirconium octoate as effective replacements for lead driers requiring minimal reformulation, and details the blending of organic and inorganic pigments to achieve required colour and performance properties. It reports phased elimination efforts, regional voluntary migration to lead free products, awareness initiatives, and proposes consumer awareness, voluntary substitution and legislative measures to engage industry
