ADDITOL® XW 6566 by allnex is a non-toxic, low VOC combination drier. Offers excellent compatibility and fast incorporation in all waterborne and solvent borne alkyd paints. It is used in high quality architectural and protective coating applications using alkyds. The shelf life of ADDITOL® XW 6566 1 year.

Octa-Soligen® 203 by Borchers (Milliken) is a special combination drier based on cobalt, barium, and zinc. It offers uniform through-drying and prevents wrinkling and skinning.

• It exhibits excellent drier stability and low viscosity.
• It is readily meterable and has a long shelf-life.
• It offers improved drying times even under adverse atmospheric conditions without causing cloudiness and precipitation.
• Octa-Soligen® 203 is used in all binder systems that dry by oxidation, including white and light-colored paints.
• The recommended dosage level is 2-5% based on solid binder content.

Octa-Soligen® 265 by Borchers (Milliken) is a special combination drier dissolved in oil or white spirit. It exhibits perfect synergy of cobalt and manganese, which ensures fast and optimal drying of the applied paints.

• Octa-Soligen® 265 is used in air-drying systems applied in very thin coats, especially for printing inks.
• The recommended dosage level is 3-5% based on the formulation.

Octa-Soligen® 69 HS by Borchers (Milliken) is a lead-free combination drier for VOC-reduced and high-solid coatings. It offers a balanced ratio of the metals cobalt and zirconium, which yields optimum results in respect of initial- and through-drying.

• It offers low viscosity and is readily meterable.
• It prevents cloudiness and precipitation.
• Octa-Soligen® 69 HS is used in binder systems that dry by oxidation, including white and light-colored paints.
• The recommended dosage level is 0.25-1% based on solid binder content.

Borchers® Deca 203 by Borchers (Milliken) is a special combination drier based on cobalt, barium, and zinc. It promotes uniform through-drying while preventing wrinkling and skinning.

• It offers excellent drier stability, low viscosity, and long shelf life.
• It improves drying even under adverse atmospheric conditions without causing cloudiness or precipitation.
• It is recommended for all oxidatively drying binder systems, particularly white and light-colored paints.
• Borchers® Deca 203 is typically used at 2-5% on solid resin, depending on the resin and pigment system.

Octa-Soligen® 144 aqua by Borchers (Milliken) is a combination drier for oxidatively drying alkyd resins. It is a multi-metal mixture for drying light-colored water-based paints.

• It is easily incorporated in aqueous coating systems.
• It exhibits metal synergies which allow keeping the cobalt content to a minimum, thus reducing discoloration and yellowing.
• Octa-Soligen® 144 aqua is suitable for medium- and long-oil alkyds applied at a wet film thickness below 100 microns.
• The recommended dosage level is 4-7%, which is higher in aqueous systems than those used in solvent-based systems.
