Driers / Dessicants

Based on 12 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Driers/Desiccants facilitate ambient curing, improve depth of cure, and enhance adhesive performance in humid environments. Driers are used in maintenance adhesives, wood bonding systems, and field-applied construction adhesives. They can be clear solutions or fine powders that integrate invisibly into adhesive formulation 

Market trends show the development of more environmentally compatible drier systems and non-heavy metal drier systems addressing regulatory concerns. Types include metal carboxylates (often called metal soaps), molecular sieves, silica-based desiccants, and combination drier packages with synergistic effect.

D-60

by HUBEI BLUESKY NEW MATERIALS

D-60 by HUBEI BLUESKY NEW MATERIALS acts as a crosslinking and drying agent. D-60 is a highly reactive, titanium chelate complex. It is a blend of di (1,3- propanediol) bis(ethyl acetoacetate) titanium and methyltrimethoxysilane. The high reactivity of D-60 at low temperature enables it to react with common functional groups such as R-OH, M-OH, Si-OH, or R-COOH at low temperature to effect crosslinking, adhesion promotion, and cure rate. It can be used with silanol end-capped polymers, such as polypropylene oxides, polyurethanes, and acrylates. It is miscible in most organic solvents and decomposes in water. Recommended for adhesives and sealants.

ALBERDINGK® Albolith MS C 350 Molecular Sieve Paste

by Alberdingk Boley

ALBERDINGK® Albolith MS C 350 Molecular Sieve Paste by Alberdingk Boley is a castor oil derivative. Acts as a desiccant. It is mainly composed of ricinoleic acid, a glyceride that does not otherwise occur in nature and is difficult to synthesize, it is characterized by a hydroxyl group and an isolated double bond. It is highly soluble in alcohol and has a viscosity twenty times greater than that of any other fat or oil of vegetable or animal origin. It is low viscous, not sedimenting and pot life stable. ALBERDINGK® Albolith MS C 350 Molecular Sieve Paste is used in PU adhesives.
