The influence of lead ions on the drying of oils

Abstract Lead compounds or pigments alter the drying behavior and physical properties of oil paints and varnishes, enabling artists and craftsmen to tailor the properties most suited for their purposes. Investigations into the mechanism of these changes have, however, often been contradictory or misleading. Using modern theories of driers, the behavior of lead additives or pigments can be interpreted or classified.
