  • Features

    • Improved drying activity, color performance, gloss and haze compared to cobalt-based driers in alkyd paints
    • Designed to be used with current drier systems (cobalt, zirconium, calcium) to significantly improve dry time at an economical cost
    • Based on a unique, patented, highly active iron complex
    • Primarily recommended for use in solvent-based systems
    • Can be used in all coatings which dry by oxidation

  • Applications

    • Coatings with resins that that dry by oxidation 
      • Alkyds 
      • Vegetable oils
      • Epoxy esters
      • Polybutadiene 
      • Others 

  • Dosage

    Borchi® RapidDry can be used in combination with the standard metal carboxylate drier package as a performance booster. It can also be used to replace secondary driers such as Zirconium and in certain systems to allow the reduction of oxidative driers such as Cobalt or Manganese. All resin systems are unique and will require the level of Borchi® RapidDry to be optimized for the best cost and dry. We recommend using a ladder study starting at 0.5 % of Borchi® RapidDry as supplied on resin solids with a maximum of 3 %. Please keep in mind that too much Borchi® RapidDry might inhibit through dry. Borchi® RapidDry should be added as one of the last ingredients before the Anti-Skinning agent.

  • 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.
