Anti-Skinning Agent for Solvent-Based AlkydsAscinin® Anti-Skin 1240 is a MEKO- and oxime-free anti-skinning agent for oxidatively cured solvent-based low VOC coating systems and pigment pastes. This solution helps relieve regulatory concerns surrounding MEKO in Europe , Canada , and other regions. MEKO-free anti-skins further enhance sustainability when used with Borchi® OXY-Coat cobalt-free high-performance catalysts for solvent-based short, medium, and long oil alkyd coatings or Borchi® Dragon high-performance cobalt-free catalyst for solvent-based high solids, long oil alkyd coatings. Combining Ascinin® Anti-Skin 1240 and Borchi® OXY-Coat in a solvent-based high gloss white trim alkyd paint formulation results in lower dry times and yellowing compared to a formulation with MEKO and cobalt alternatives Other MEKO-free anti-skins include: ● Ascinin® Anti-Skin 0444 ● Ascinin® Anti-Skin 0445 ● Borchi® Nox 1640 ● Borchi® Shield .
