Borchi® Phoenix

High-performance accelerator to enhance the drying performance of Borchers® Deca Manganese 8 or 8% Manganese Ten-Cem® D60 in solvent-based and high solids alkyd resins   high-performance accelerator for alkyd coatings      

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 manganese driers 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 0.005 – 0.02 % manganese metal, based on binder solids. Borchi® Phoenix should be used at a ratio of 10:1 by weight of Borchi® Phoenix to Borchers® Deca Manganese 8 or 8% Manganese Ten-Cem® D60. Borchi® Phoenix should be added before Borchers® Deca Manganese 8 or 8% Manganese Ten-Cem® D60 as one of the last components before the anti-skinning agent.

Storage

Protect from the effects of weathering and store at temperatures between 5 and 30 °C. Color of product varies on storage.
