A NEW ANTISEPTIC PAINT.
Consul Thomas II. Norton, writing
from Chemnitz, says that in the
warfare which is being waged so
persistently against tuberculosis In
Germany, Increased attention Is be
ing devoted to paints and washes
which may ho npplled to walls, etc.,
and which possess in a greater or
lesser degree tho power of destroy
ing germ life. Ho gives the follow
ing example:
In ti recent number of the publi
cations of the German health olllce,
a report appears with very full de
tails regarding tho teals applied to
the new pigment culled vltralin, a
highly lustrous paint which can he
applied to sun-races with the same
ease as ordinary paints, with a basis
of white lead, or zinc white. Its
chief value Is for disinfecting, and
it is prepared and sold more speci
llcally for use In rooms, etc., where
It Is desired to combat pathogenic
germs. In this respect it seems to
be far in advance of till of the or
dinary substances applied to walls,
loiilaining lime or load compounds.
The importance of such an agent,
in connection with modern sanitary
appliances tor destroying the mi
crobes of disease, led the health
olllce to make somewhat exhaustive
tests of tho germicidal properties
of vitrulin under varying conditions.
The results may be briefly sum
marized as follows:
When in contact with a vltralin
coating, tho bacilli of tuberculosis
(as found In saliva) are completely
destroyed in 3 days. Diphtheria
baciilii require t"i hours, typhoid
bacilli S hours, and those of pus
(Maphyloiocd and streptococci)
from ti to 13 hours. On the con
trary, no lethal effect could he ob
sonod upon tho spores of anthrax,
own when the contact lusted 30
days, although a distinctly retard
ing inlluence upon the development
of the spores was noticed. Con
trol experiments carried on simul
taneously with surfaces covered
with ordinary oil colors, whitewash,
etc., showed either no germicidal
power or a much less degree or
ellicacy.
Direct sunlight renders the lethal
action much more rapid than when
it is carried on in diffused daylight.
The material upon which the coat
ing is applied exorcises no appre
ciable effect. The same results
were Kocureel when tho pigment was
spread over glass, porcelain, brick,
and wood. The disinfectant prop
erly remains tor a considerable time
in tlie coating of paint, although
,1'ter the lapse of a year it was
found to be distinctly weaker i.e.,
a longer time was required to bring
about complete destruction of bac
teria. The investigator came to tho con
clusion that tho specific disinfectant
property of vltralin results from the
oxidation of the linseed oil which
forms tin important constituent of
this paint, as of most paints. Fur
ther, this oxidation is dependent
upon the presence of a certain de
gree of moisture, and, naturally, of
oxygon; r.nd warmth its well as
lUiil is an Important factor in
favoring tho lormation of the ac
tive MM-mli-idul agent. This prop
erty of itraiin is likewise unaf
fected ! prolonged exposure to
powerl'i.l antiseptic agents, such as
corroslxo sublimate, formalin, kir-t-.oi-sulpliuric
add, etc.
The conclusion of the olliiors of
the imperial Health Olllce is that
vitralitt furnishes a highly valuable
addition to tho weapons employed
in coiulioting bacteria! disease, anil
thai it can lie most advantageously
employed in all rooms, etc, whore
germ lilo is liberated, consumptives'
sanatoria, urels for Infectious dis
eases, and tho like.
Attention is called to the fact
that the presence eil" such u wall
coating as vltralin does not neces
sarily supersede the use of the cus
tomary disinfection methods now
legally obligatory. There is, how
ever, a distinct advantage in having
a continuous destruction of diseaso
germs maintained, whenever they
come in contact with the walls ol"
an apartment during its temporary
occupancy by a person affected by
an infectious disease.
