Borchers® Deca barium 12.5

Barium carboxylate dissolved in white-spirit containing less than 2 % aromatics. Acts as a highly efficient secondary drier. Barium improves through drying and is used as a wetting agent and extender. It improves gloss and prevents adsorption of the primary driers by pigments and extenders thereby increasing coating stability during prolonged storage. It is a metal salt of neodecanoic acids. Used in solvent-borne systems based on alkyds and epoxy esters that crosslink by oxidation. Highly recommended for use in coatings for general industrial- and industrial wood coatings.
