18% Zirconium Hex-Cem - Borcher - Drying Agent

Knowde Enhanced TDS

Identification & Functionality

Features & Benefits

Features: Highly efficient secondary drier
Promotes through-drying properties and are used in combination with cobalt, manganese, Borchi® OXY-Coat and other surface driers
Improves through dry in oxidatively cured coatings primarily by the formation of coordinative bonds when hydroxyl and carboxyl groups are present
In comparison to other secondary driers, zirconium has better properties in terms of color, yellowing and stability
