Product Highlights

Increased emphasis is currently being placed on the reduction of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) to reduce air pollution and the effects of greenhouse gasses upon the atmosphere. Resin manufacturers are targeting reduced VOCs in both solventborne and waterborne systems. As regulations demand lower VOCs, the contribution of the solvents in the driers becomes more and more important and critical to product performance. Therefore, DURA Chemicals has introduced several Ultra-Low VOC Driers for low VOC compliant coatings.

All of these driers have non-volatile/solids contents in excess of 90%. These driers were developed specifically for low-VOC solventborne coatings. However, due to the increased polarity of the ester solvent, these driers have also shown good compatibility/stability in waterborne systems upon direct addition
