Features

  • Secondary drier used in combination with primary driers (manganese, Borchi® OXY-Coat, Borchi® OXY-Coat 1310 or vanadium compounds)
  • Improves through-drying and film hardness
  • Prevents wrinkling and orange peel on paint film surface
  • Slightly increases dry time
  • 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

  • Solvent-based systems based on alkyds and epoxy esters that dry by oxidation

Dosage

The addition rate of zinc, calculated on the metal content per solid resin, 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 8 can be introduced during the grinding step to improve pigment wetting.

Storage

Protect from the effects of weathering and store at temperatures between 5 and 30 °C.
Once opened, containers should be resealed immediately after each removal of the product.
