In the world of verdigris, it is simply another type, HCl induced. Chemists whom deny "BD" are not making up a definition, coin folks that use and perpetuate the term made-up the definition.....which is utterly incorrect in the world of metals and chemistry. </p><p><br /></p><p>In my 16 years working in the metalworking fluid industry, I have yet to have a customer call and say "we have bronze disease", can you help?
