Vintage Mid

Vintage Mid
I bought an vintage item…. formaldehyde?

Hey, I just bought a projector and it have a sweet burnt smell. Is it formaldehyde? The item is from the mid 50’s and my other vintage cameras I bought have a similar sweet burnt smell to it. Like this Canon rangefinder I got, the cover felt like leather but it is hard like plastic.

And again, the question is, Are old things coated with FORMALDEHYDE?

Callingmyself – You may well be correct! Electrostatic Painting often uses a Powder Coating Chemfilm,phosphating,masking,CARC www.pmf1.comSolutions composed of a mixture of syrupy thermosetting methylated urea-formaldehyde resins (urea:formaldehyde: methanol) to provide coatings of superior properties when they are applied as lacquers, enamels etc. to a wood or metal surface. Most metal and some plastic products are plated, painted, anodized or have some other coating applied to them. These coatings serve a variety of functions including solderability, RFI Shielding, lubricity, abrasion resistance, corrosion protection and aesthetic appeal.
