Features & Benefits
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Features
- The balanced ratio of the various metal contents of Octa-Soligen® 173 yields optimum results in initial drying and through-drying
- Excellent drier stability
- Paints incorporating Octa-Soligen® 173 are characterized by better drying times particularly at high atmospheric humidity and low temperatures
- Low viscosity
- Outstanding brightness, good gloss and excellent hardness
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Cure Method
- Coating Type
- Applications
- All binder systems that that dry by oxidation, especially:
- White and light-colored paints
- Automotive refinish coatings
- Dosage
- Applications Development trials showed the necessary addition of Octa-Soligen® 173 to be between 2 and 5 % relative to solid binder, depending on the binder and the pigment system. This is equivalent to a cobalt content of 0.024 to 0.060 %. When using pigments which retard the drying process such as carbon black or toluidine red, a higher dosage or special stabilization may be necessary. Octa-Soligen® Barium 12.5 and Octa-Soligen® Calcium 10 are suitable for this purpose. In paint systems which already contain zinc compounds, Octa-Soligen® 173 should be used in preference to Octa-Soligen® 203.
