ADDITOL® dry CF103
by allnex
ADDITOL® dry CF103 by allnex is cobalt- & solvent-free, primary drier based on accelerated manganese. It possesses low VOC, reduced odor and high flash point. It is a ready to use product with excellent compatibility and easy incorporation in solvent-borne & water-based alkyd stains/impregnations & paints, natural oils and conventional printing inks. It has outstanding set & through dry performance and allows leveling and substrate wetting without strong wrinkling tendency. It allows utilization in areas with high safety measures and long-lasting drying performance with strongly reduced loss of dry effect. It is recommended to combine with auxiliary driers such as ADDITOL® dry CF 200 (Li/Zr) or ADDITOL® dry CF 300 (Ba/Zr). The recommended dosage of 0.3-0.9 %, calculated on solid binder, is recommended for medium solid and water-borne alkyds. Whereas ultra-high solid alkyds require up to 1.3 % calculated on solid binder. Recommended for ultra-high solid systems, architectural, anti-corrosive, façade, furniture, marine & protective, stain blocking, trim coatings, wall paints and wood stain applications. The shelf life of ADDITOL® dry CF103 is 365 days.
