The resistance of some enamels to attack by citric and other acids is improved by prior exposure to certain weak acids, which do not appreciably attack the enamel themselves. The abrasion resistance of some enamels is markedly decreased by exposure to citric acid for IS minutes at room temperature. These effects, as well as the results of some exploratory experiments on the nature and extent of these effects, are reported.
