High-performance accelerator to enhance the drying performance of 8% manganese neodecanoate drier (e.g., Borchers® Deca Manganese 8 or 8% Manganese Ten-Cem®) in solvent-based and high solids alkyd resins
Physical Characteristics
Appearance Clear, colorless to orange liquid Viscosity Max. 50 mPa·s (informative) ISO 3219 (A) (20 °C) Density 0.85 – 0.89 g/cm3 (20 °C) DIN 51757 Features
Maximizes the performance of 8% manganese neodecanoate drier and enables:
- Faster drying times
- Fast drying in adverse ambient conditions down to 40°F (4.4 °C)
- Less yellowing and brighter whites when compared to cobalt driers
- Wrinkle-free appearance when utilized with thick film applications
Applications
- Coatings
- Wood
- Industrial
- Protective and Marine
- Architectural
- Automotive
Dosage
All resin systems are unique and will require dosage optimization for the best cost and dry performance. We recommend using a ladder study with Borchi® Phoenix. The typical usage level is 0.01 – 0.05 % manganese metal, based on binder solids. Borchi® Phoenix should be used at a ratio of 10:1 by weight of Borchi® Phoenix to 8% manganese neodecanoate drier (e.g., Borchers® Deca Manganese 8 or 8% Manganese Ten-Cem®). Borchi® Phoenix should be added before the manganese drier as one of the last components before the anti-skinning agent.
