2-component Paint Health Effects

Q. I was woundering if there is any informations on the long term effects of spraying 2-component paint over a period of 25 years? When I started out there was no info on these products as no one had been using them.

A. There is a whole host of information on the health effects of 2-component coatings, such as polyurethanes. Much of it is technical and written for toxicologists. You would need to go to a library and ask the librarian to search for these articles.

You can also go to the Bayer Material Science web site and search their literature on polyurethanes.
