Great - now Tamiya spray cans will be as hot as guns and drugs crossing the border - oh wait, they don't seem to have a problem. We will just have to get our paints from the local reserve.
This confirms a concern I had! My nearest hobby store went out of stock of Insignia White Tamiya spray. I decided to buy several cans from a different seller, in case it became a widespread phenomenon. (I have several half completed models that need that paint..)
@garfieldsmith332 That is a bad-faith argument. And it doesn't matter if a few MPs want to legalize them or not because a few MPs don't control parliament.
I can see modellers sneaking past a curtain at the back of the hobby store, into a secret room where they can do their illicit painting. A “spray-easy”…
@@Panzermeister36 We are Canada, not California. Who cares what the Liberals think. They have done more damage to this country than any simple spray cans of paint.
@@TofuBoi_ - well some do. I was born and raised up in Sudbury from the mid 50's. For the first 22+.years of my life, I daily breathed in air that was heavily laced with sulphuric acid. Tamiya spray bombs are nothing in comparison. LOL
I think it's because it contains formaldehyde polymers and formaldehyde resins. I think if Tamiya adds a water based line in the future they can get around the ban. Mr Hobby has two lines including their Aqueous line with water and some solvents and their Acrysion line that has very minimal almost to no solvents. I know oil based paints will still be more popular because it has better adhesion but Tamiya may start having to do the same if the ban stays.
I'm sure it's some nonsense health thing. But don't forget to sign up for your narcan to keep the junkies alive 🤦 this country is getting beyond embarrassing
The information I received from the importers was that they are reviewing the safety data sheets across the colours individually and potential formula changes to meet Canadian regulations.
Same sort of changes that had people screaming that WD-40 is being banned in Canada. It's a VOC(Volatile organic compounds) concentration thing (the restrictions were introduced in 2010, so this is NOT new) and lacquers are very high on VOCs. If you stock Mr Hobby lines, you'll have noticed that a company that used to ONLY make lacquer paints has created an "aqueos" line, this sort of move is likely to get around those restrictions(you can still thin these lines with lacquer thinners, but aerosol options seem less flexible here). Aerosolized don't necessarily contain more harmful substances, but the testing methodology means aerosolized versions(in part due to atomization, triggering an immediate spike in readings) of anything containing VOCs are gonna get destroyed under those restrictions/testing methodology.
Excellent news! Lets, deflate this alarmist post and provide some information: - Canada has had regulations in place since 2010 limiting VOC'S and other things in paints. - Tamyia (and others) has been notified on multiple occasions since then that its paint formula does not meet the regulations. (like having a warning on the label, as VOC is poisonous, Flammable, etc) - The European Union and some states like California have had regulations for reducing VOC's for years . - Small containers are not affected, I think it has to be a liter. - Another separate issue is that airlines now refuse to carry things that can explode or catch on fire. Nothing to do with the governments, that is insurance. . SO TO BE CLEAR: Canada has not "banned" Tamiya paint. And the world is not falling apart. I am old enough to remember when they banned lead in gasoline and people were pulling their hair out of their head saying the sky is falling, the sky is falling. The crazy government has banned cars. Ignorents with megaphones.
Pin his comment! The world is not ending. (although the valve guides in my late 60's Ford did wear without Lead, but they still make gas and it's still legal to drive and work on)
It is not as cool and dandy as you say here. This idiotic government has already banned the "wrong formula" of brake cleaner and carburetor/throttle body cleaner. So now stores still sell those-only they don't clean anything! I have better results from spraying gasoline in the throttle body than using this new "throttle body cleaner" Rest assured: these "new" Tamiya sprays will be worse and more expensive. Only by that time you are going to forget what this government have done and will blame everything on "corporate greed" and "incompetence of the manufacturer" Certain technical/industrial fluids use VOC for a reason, not with the evil intent to "change the climate"
ouch. That is unfortunate news. I wonder what it is in these paints that is at issue and whether or not there will be any banning of My Hobby spray paints or Vallejo or AK?
I'm sorry, we don't have the exact specifics. As it only affects the sprays, I figure it must be an environmental concern. If Mr. Hobby sprays have the same formula, watch out!
I suspect it's something to do with the aerosol propellant, as the ban only applies to spray paints. As I look at the label on one of my cans, this is the list of ingredients used in the spray (the can I'm looking at is Tamiza TS-47 Yellow): Isobutyl alcohol, Isobutyl acetate, Butyl acetate, and 2-Butoxyethanol. When I look at a can of Testors Srpay Paint, 1961 Clean Laquer... it's considerably more vague in its contents description... Acetone and Toluene. I was able to source A WHMS sheet for one of the Tamiya products manufactured in Europe, and it's a lengthy document and ALL of the ingredients were listed as having some degree of either toxicity, carcinogenic, or irritant risks. If you're familiar with WHMS sheets for products, this shouldn't come as a surprise... pretty much everything that comes in a can (aside from food) will have a legally required sheet prepared to speak to its contents. That includes things you'd consider more mundane, like house paint, or household cleaners. In this case, I'm fairly confident it's one of the propellant or pigment binders that's being declared as a problem. Since these sorts of things are becoming more common in both North American and European sales regions, I have no doubt that once identified, Tamiya will work to create a new formulation that meets the changed regulations.
@@cdpond Yeah, it is definitely in the propellant as Tamiya has an LP line that is basically their Lacquer paint, but in a bottle, and they aren't affected. Tamiya paint comes out of Japan. Testors just stopped shipping to Canada, because it wasn't worth their while to make Canadian specific labels. Tamiya might reformulate them, however if it is a Canadian only thing, they likely are not going to reformulate for just Canada, nor make a Canadian specific version. They will have to make the decision to reformulate for the world wide market that is able to comply everywhere. California and Massachusetts have some of the strictest environmental laws in the the US, and the paints are still allowed to be there, apparently Canada is a step above them as to what is allowed. Lots of the European paint manufacturers have had to reformulate their paint over the last year or so due to changes in what is allowed in Europe, AK, Ammo and Vallejo all have had to make changes and introduce new reformulated paint. And these were non aerosol, and all acrylic based paint. Might only be a matter of time before the spray cans get hit in the European market. Still early in this, so will wait and see what Tamiya and their importers have to say about this as time goes on.
Go to your nearest VAPE store and buy any of their chemical vapor & so-called non-smoker products. Light up a blunt, a dobee, or a pipe of pot and inhale that. It's all good. Turn on the tap and drink some chlorinated tap water. Go to your dentist and get your teeth fluridated with a chemical element so powerful, it can burn through steel as an acid. But heaven forbid that you should use a spray can of Tamiya paint. Funny how Environment Canada has picked Tamiya brand paint as the bad guy when there are dozens of others that have many of the same chemical components in them. I may have to switch to Rustoleum or DupliColor or Krylon in the short term. In the long term, I will buy an AIR BRUSH to paint my plastic models and mix my own imported paint.
Cans are easy to use and some people don't have access to an airbrush and that is sad. At least, we will still have access to the LP paint line from Tamiya. In the end, it is not that bad!!!
Friend, it is all that bad. Today they ban your spray can, tomorrow when they deem for your safety you can not have the LP paint neither or even polystyrene plastics.
