A mystery substance that damaged dozens of cars on County Road 104 in November has been identified as a resin. Local attorneys representing affected car owners say a Chicago lab has found the substance to be an epoxy resin with urethane characteristics. The resin is believed to be part of a multi-part mixture, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact product or source of the leak. The investigation continues.
An update on an NBC 15 News story that has left some drivers fuming, and much of Central Baldwin County mystified is about that mystery substance that found its way onto County Road 104 just east of Silver Hill last November. It splashed up on dozens of cars, where it hardened, ruining paint jobs and brake pads and who knows what else.
So far, owners of 112 of those damaged vehicles have hired the local law firm of Caldwell, Wenzel, & Asthana to represent them and find out what this mystery substance is. Attorney C. Randall Caldwell, Jr. Tells NBC 15 News a lab in Chicago is analyzing it, and has delivered some preliminary results. \\\'It is a resin that they describe... it is an epoxy resin,” he says. “It has urethane characteristics or qualities, they said. So this would be a product that would be used often, in like in paint, and or also in, like, stains for furniture, things of that nature. They have not been able to get to the specific product yet, as they described it as one part of a multi-part mixture. It would only be one part of the actual finished product.' Caldwell tells NBC 15 News after it leaked from its container onto County Road 104, it evolved into a polymer, making it a bit more difficult to analyze. But he feels confident they'll trace it back to the original product , and then to the source of the leak. Caldwell says some insurance companies have totaled out cars affected by the chemical, but others still don't know what they'll do
