Features & Benefits

Features
  • Sacrificial drier in paste forms
  • Countervails loss of drier action as a result of drier absorption during prolonged storage
  • Takes effect in a controlled manner in step with the decomposition of the drier
  • Does not affect initial drying of the paint system
  • Has no adverse effect on the film properties of the paint

Applications & Uses

Applications
  • Oxidative solvent-based systems
  • Some water-reducible systems
  • Aqueous systems only when the system contains an appropriate co-solvent
Dosage
21% Cobalt Hydroxy Ten-Cem® is added to the milling base with pigment and binder. Subsequent addition is also possible.
