Dosage
In our experience, the percentage addition of barium, calculated on the metal content relative to solid binder,is approx. 0.1 – 0.5 %. The exact amount required depends on the binder used and should always be determined in preliminary trials. Octa-Soligen® Barium 12.5 can be introduced during the grinding step to improve pigment wetting, thus at the end of process at the same time than other driers.
