Lead Paint Test Kit

Protect your family, pets and neighbours by checking for lead paint.

Prior to 1970 and up to the mid 1980’s lead paint was widely used in paints. Lead is a hazardous chemical that can cause nervous system damage, delayed growth, kidney damage and is of particular danger to children and animals due to its sweet taste. Even small amounts of paint from dust or chips can cause you, your family, your clients or your neighbours damage.

Lead paint risks can be managed by identifying its presence, assessing its condition and handling it following the approved procedures. A Certified specialist can be engaged to manage lead paint safely through the Master Painters Association referral page.

Lead Paint Test Kit

The Master Painters’ Association of Victoria and Tasmania provide Lead Paint Test Kits as the essential tool for keeping your environment safe and healthy. This user-friendly kit is designed to accurately detect the presence of lead in paint, enabling the correct treatment.

With the Lead Paint Test Kit, you can effortlessly identify lead-based paint on any painted surface. Whether you’re a repaint specialist or just doing a one-off job, this kit provides a simple yet reliable solution for peace of mind.

Why use our Kits?

Our kit has multiple applications unlike some kits on the market that only have two applications.  By using our easy to read instructions, you can test many different areas of a building, internally and externally.  Cheaper kits from overseas may not met the same standards which can lead to unreliable readings and potentially missed lead contamination.

You can also be assured that our kits have a track record of reliability and if you encounter any issues or need assistance, we can offer support and advice over the phone.

We also do not recommend purchasing cheap kits online or from overseas vendors who may be using inferior materials which could lead to false readings and this can be dangerous if you are relying on results for health related decisions.

Consumers

If you are planning to paint yourself, make sure you are aware of the risks. If in doubt you can use a Lead Paint Test Kit. If you are still worried, then you can contact the Master Painters who can put you in touch with a Certified professional contractor.
