Dosage
All resin systems are unique and will require the level of Borchi® Dragon to be optimized for the best cost and dry performance. We recommend using a ladder study starting at 0.5 % up to 3 % of Borchi® Dragon as supplied on resin solids. Optimized dosage must be determined as excessive Borchi® Dragon could reverse dry performance. Borchi® Dragon should be added as one of the last ingredients before the Anti-Skinning agent.
