10% Cobalt Hex-Cem® by Borchers (Milliken) is a cobalt-based drier. It promotes rapid surface drying by catalyzing redox reactions that decompose hydroperoxides through the conversion of Co²⁺ to Co³⁺. It reduces the surface drying time of coatings, varnishes, stains, and inks.
- It ensures uniform through-drying of the paint film when used alongside secondary driers such as zirconium, barium, or zinc.
- 10% Cobalt Hex-Cem® is designed for oxidatively cured solvent-based systems.
- It is suitable for architectural paints, industrial coatings, stains, artists’ colors and oil-based inks.
- The recommended dosage level is 0.03–0.08% metal based on vehicle solids of the coating, and 0.03–0.05% based on binder solids.
