CASE Ingredients Features

Fast Drying,

Low Viscosity

Features

• Based on metal salts of neodecanoic acid (neodecanoates)
• Catalyzes redox reactions and even small additions result in the dissociation of autoxidant hydroperoxides and to a change in valency from Co2+ to Co3+
• Initiates rapid surface drying

Dosage

In conventional alkyd formulations, the cobalt amount is in the range of 0.03 to 0.08 % metal, calculated on the solid binder. In paints and varnishes Borchers®Deca Cobaltmostly is combined with Borchers®Deca Zirconium and Octa-Soligen®Calcium 10, basic. In printing inks, a combination of Borchers® Deca Cobaltand Borchers®Deca Manganese is recommended. The cobalt amount is in the range of 0.03 to 0.05 % metal, calculated on the solid binder. Irrespective of these guidelines, the addition should always be determined in preliminary trials.
