• Improves pigment wetting and dispersion
• Increases gloss and color-fastness
• Reduces grind time when added to formulation at early stage
• Can be used in large amounts without discoloring film

Applications

• Water-based systems based on alkyds and epoxy esters

Dosage

The addition rate of zinc, calculated on the metal content per solid binder, is approx. 0.03 – 0.50 %. The exact amount required depends on the binder and used formulation and should always be determined in preliminary trials. Borchers® Deca Zinc 10 aqua can be introduced during the grinding step to improve pigment wetting, thus at the end of process at the same time than other driers.

Storage
