Cure Method
Dosage
The addition rate of zinc, calculated on the metal content per solid binder, is approx. 0.03 – 0.50 %. The exact amount required depends on the binder and used formulation and should always be determined in preliminary trials. Octa-Soligen® Zinc can be introduced during the grinding step to improve pigment wetting.
Applications
  • Solvent-based systems based on alkyds and epoxy esters that dry by oxidation
