Octa-Soligen® Calcium 5 basic

Octa-Soligen® Calcium 5 basic by Borchers (Milliken) is a calcium drier for solvent-based systems. It provides pigment wetting and film gloss properties. It prevents adsorption of the primary driers on the surface of pigments and extenders, thus stabilizing drying power.

• It exhibits synergistic effects in combination with primary driers such as cobalt and manganese and with secondary driers such as zirconium.
• It is used for solvent-based systems based on alkyds and epoxy esters that dry by oxidation.
• The recommended dosage level of Octa-Soligen® Calcium 5 basic is 0.03-0.3% based on solid binder content.
