Features & Benefits
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Features
- Auxiliary drier that is used solely in combination with primary and secondary driers
- Yields synergistic effects in combination with primary driers such as cobalt, manganese and Borchi® OXY-Coat, and with secondary driers such as zirconium
- Can also be used as a pigment wetting agent and loss-of-dry additive
- Prevents adsorption of the primary driers by the pigments thereby stabilizing surface dry
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Cure Method
- Coating Type
- Dosage
- In conventional alkyd formulations, the Calcium addition is between 0.03 – 0.30 % metal based on the vehicle solids of the coating and will vary depending upon the composition of the binder. The specific drier blend should be experimentally determined. Higher levels might be needed if added to the dispersion to prevent drier adsorption. Calcium drier can be added to the dispersion and/or in the letdown with other driers.
