Cobalt-Free Drier / Sustainable Solution for Improved Dry Time in Alkyd PaintBorchi® OXY-Coat is a metal-based high-performance cobalt-free drier catalyst for improved drying time in paints containing alkyd resins. It demonstrates excellent drying performance at low use levels in solvent-based short, medium, and long oil alkyd paint. This solution does not require the use of an auxiliary drier. Cobalt-free driers are eco-friendly drying solutions as they do not contain any metals that may face regulatory concerns . Borchi® OXY-Coat is particularly efficient in coatings using propylene glycol. Comparison of Borchi® OXY-Coat in Medium Oil Alkyd Paint Borchi® OXY-Coat provides improved drying time compared to a cobalt drier in medium oil alkyd paint. This oxidative curing catalyst also works well in short and long oil alkyd systems .

Dispersing Agent for Titanium Dioxide (TiO 2 ), Iron Oxide, and Inorganic Pigment Dispersions Borchi® Gen 1252 is a wetting and dispersing agent for titanium dioxide (TiO2), iron oxide , and other inorganic pigment dispersions in coatings. It provides higher inorganic pigment loading, better tint strength, and improved contrast ratios. This dispersing agent additive is an APEO- and VOC-free high molecular weight solution. It works well with varying particle sizes in inorganic pigments and fillers used in water- and solvent-based coating systems. Borchi® Gen 1252 is especially known for being effective in dispersing TiO 2 and iron oxide pigments. This results in stable dispersions with excellent color development. Borchi® Gen 1252 is a high molecular weight wetting and dispersing agent.
