Features

• Synthetic organic anti-skinning agent
• Delays the onset of drying of clear lacquers without affecting through-drying
• Prolongs the open time of the film, thereby preventing flow problems and blistering
• Does not cause yellowing or discoloration and exhibits no undesirable reactivity in finished paint systems

Applications

• Air and stove-drying lacquers
• Pigmented paints based on
• Drying oils
  • Alkyd resins

Borchi^® Nox M 2 must not be stored in containers made of copper, brass, lead, aluminium or PVC as chemical reactions with these metals may take place and discoloration may occur under certain conditions, thereby reducing the efficacy of its anti-skinning action. Iron, zinc and tin containers are unlikely to affect Borchi^® Nox M 2. Glass, steel and stainless steel containers are especially suitable for Borchi^® Nox M 2.
