PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Paints or Compositions for Covering Surfaces.
1, RICHARD BARTON of the firm of Barton and Roberts of 18 Commercial Road,
Hull, in the County of York, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
Invention to be as follows:-
My Invention has for its object to produce an improved paint or composition for
covering surfaces, which paint or composition is practically non-inflammable and is
especially suited for use for painting or covering uptakes, heat screens, parts of steam
ships and other surfaces subject to heat but it may be used for painting or covering
surfaces generally.
According to my Invention I take as a base a substance known as Kieselguhr or
Fossil meal or Diatomaceous earth and with it mix oil and lead baryta or the like or
such of them as may be necessary and I add if desired colouring matter to give the
required colour or tint to the compound. The materials are thoroughly reduced and
incorporated which may be effected in any convenient manner such as by means of a
roller mill, grinding stones, disintegrators or the like.

Hull in the County of York, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this luven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:
My Invention has for its object to produce an improved paint or composition for
covering surfaces which paint or composition is practically non-inflammable and is
specially suited for use for painting or covering uptakes, heat screens funnels or other
parts of steam ships and other surfaces subject to heat but it may be used for painting
or covering surfaces generally.
According to my Invention I take as a base a substance known as Kieselguhr or
Fossil meal or Diatomaceous earth and with it I mix oil and lead baryta or the like
or such of them as may be necessary and I add if desired colouring matter to give
the required colour or tint to the compound. The materials are thoroughly reduced
and incorporated which may be effected in any convenient manner such as by means
of a roller mill grinding stones disintegrators or the like.
I do not limit myself to any precise proportions but by way of example and to
facilitate the understanding and practical carrying out of my Invention, I give the
following example.
•
Kieselgubr Fossil meal or Diatomaceous earth
Linseed or colza oil

Add colouring matter such as lamp black ochre ultramarine or others are added in
kind and quantity according to the colour and shade required.
In place of linseed or colza oil I may use any other suitable vegetable animal or
mineral oil and in place of lead or in place of part of the lead I may use baryta in the
same proportion or thereabouts.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. The inanufacture of a paint or composition for covering surfaces wherein
Kieselguhr Fossil meal or Diatomaceous earth is an essential ingredient..
2. The manufacture of a paint or composition for covering surfaces by incorporating
Kiesolguhr Fossil meal or Diatomaceous earth and oil and lead of baryta or the like
substantially as hereinbefore described.
3. The manufacture of a paint or composition for covering surfaces by combining
the materials or their equivalents in or about the proportions given in the foregoing
example.
4. As new articles of manufacture paints or compositions prepared as claimed in the
preceding claiming clauses.
