Features & Benefits

CASE Ingredients Features
Features
  • Highly efficient secondary drier
  • Promotes through-drying properties and is 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

Applications & Uses

Applications
  • Oxidatively cured water- and solvent-based systems, including:
    • Architectural paints
    • Industrial coatings
    • Stains
Dosage
In conventional alkyd formulations, the Zirconium drier addition is between 0.05 – 0.30 % metal based on the vehicle solids of the coating and will vary depending upon the composition of the binder.
