    Can temperatures produce zinc fumes in the Galvanized Steel Zinc-Plated Feuerhand Hurricane Lantern?

    I looked up Prop 65. It is from California. This might be it. I was able to pull up lanterns with warnings on them referencing Prop 65 for example https://www.jicreadiness.com/Kerosene-Lantern-By-Rothco_p_77.html . At the bottom it says "California Prop 65: WARNING: This product contains a...

    Can temperatures produce zinc fumes in the Galvanized Steel Zinc-Plated Feuerhand Hurricane Lantern?

    I do not know if it is called Prop 65. I am repeating what TugboatEng said it was called as he seemed to recognize what I am talking about. I do know that the warnings on lanterns first proclaimed the reproduction warning and then provided a link to the hazard law. The link led me to a heavy...

    Can temperatures produce zinc fumes in the Galvanized Steel Zinc-Plated Feuerhand Hurricane Lantern?

    3DDave, I appreciate your links, so let me first thank you for your efforts to post to me. Now let me say that the "Prop 65 Warning" on what seems like all lanterns Florida recognizes is based on the actual lantern. So in other words, the lantern itself "as is" and not what it will be used for...

    Can temperatures produce zinc fumes in the Galvanized Steel Zinc-Plated Feuerhand Hurricane Lantern?

    As swinnyGG is saying, I went down a long path. I have to try to backtrack so I can remember where everything is, I will try to post what you are asking for 3DDave. SwinnyGG, you say it is related to the performance of the coating at its primary purpose, as a corrosion inhibitor. How then does...

    Can temperatures produce zinc fumes in the Galvanized Steel Zinc-Plated Feuerhand Hurricane Lantern?

    I greatly appreciate everyone for communicating on my post subject. The base problem of mine is that I am in complete darkness on the subject. I am learning the fundamentals. Keep in mind that I am only interested in kerosene lanterns. I have my own reason and this is my preference. With that...

    Can temperatures produce zinc fumes in the Galvanized Steel Zinc-Plated Feuerhand Hurricane Lantern?

    how long till zinc oxidizes? With no base of information, I can wildly say years? So a kind of constant will be helpful. For example, If I kept it burning at its maximum heat (is there a heat level you recommend?) for let us say 10 days (how many days do you recommend?), will zinc then fully...

    Can temperatures produce zinc fumes in the Galvanized Steel Zinc-Plated Feuerhand Hurricane Lantern?

    I had to look up the principles of oxidization. I can’t find online anything about oxidization of zinc if it is safe or not. I can only find its benefit. The benefit is a protection against corrosion. I can only assume once oxidized, it cannot create zinc fumes when heated above the threshold of...

    Can temperatures produce zinc fumes in the Galvanized Steel Zinc-Plated Feuerhand Hurricane Lantern?

    So does that mean that what you expect when zinc oxidizes immunes the issue at hand? You said usually in Zinc aluminum alloy you expect this will happen in the hottest area. You said because it does not see direct heating (kerosene flame) just the hot vented air. Can that make the difference...

    Can temperatures produce zinc fumes in the Galvanized Steel Zinc-Plated Feuerhand Hurricane Lantern?

    Hello Community, I am in no way knowledgeable in metals and metallurgy so I am seeking out my answers. The bulk of my current knowledge has been obtained by googling, yet a fundamental answer that I am seeking for cannot be found. I seek my answer now here, in this post. I want to purchase the...
