iQuip Instant Lead Test Kit
iQuip Instantt Lead Test Kit works as 3M LeadCheck
Prepare Surface to be Tested:
To eliminate external sources of contamination, remove all dust and dirt from
surface. (NOTE: In many cases dust can be a source of lead contamination. For a
more inclusive test, including dust, test a similar surface without prior cleaning.)
Test Surface:
Rub the swab end on the notched area for 30 seconds while gently squeezing the
tube. Squeeze tube hard enough to keep surface saturated with amber liquid, but
not so hard that an area larger than the notch is covered with the liquid. Observe
swab and/or paint surface for characteristic colour. If lead is present, a characteristic
pink colour will appear.
If the swab tip and/or test surface turn pink or red A HAZORDOUS LEVEL OF LEAD IS
PRESENT. IF LEAD IS PRESENT PROPER PRECAUSTIONS MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID
THE HARMUL EFFECTS OF LEAD.
Important Notes:
Some forms of lead are less soluble than others; this may delay the development of
pink colour by hours. Multiple layers of non-leaded oil-based paint may also hamper
the development of colour. To help counter these factors, swab the test surface for
a further 30 seconds and again observe the colour right away and after a few hours.
Paint or substrate pigments may also cause a colouring of the swab. Repeat the test
with another swab to check if colour of swab is due to lead or paint pigment by
performing test without breaking the indicator ampule. In this manner, it can be
determined if the buffer is causing the colour to be leached out of paint .
