To try to pre-screen, I compared the ingredients in this paint to this paint that was previously approved. I saw two things in my requested paint that are not in that paint:
Octane
Zirconium Acetate
I assume the octane is a solvent and will be gone when it’s dry. Not sure about the zirconium acetate, but it is in VERY small quantities (0.01% by weight).
Thanks for looking into this one too!
edit: this request used to be about Ultra Cover Primer | Painter's Touch | Rust-Oleum (SKU: 268069) but some concerns were raised about the zinc content potentially being a risk when vaporized so I found an alternative that doesn’t contain zinc.
Since some concerns were raised on slack about the potential hazard of vaporized zinc, I’ve found a different flat black that doesn’t contain zinc and edited my request to be about that. Sorry for the churn!
This is an aside because you have changed the request, but I don’t believe zinc oxide would actually be an issue in the laser cutter. It should be inert well after the temperatures that the CO2 laser can get to before the wood itself vaporises.
Obviously don’t weld or plasma cut zinc, that is whole other level of temperature.
I’m also not 100% on this, so don’t take my word for it and go lasering stuff willy nilly. Only like, 80% sure.
