Octa-Soligen® Calcium 7 HS neutral

Calcium carboxylate (basic) dissolved in white-spirit. Acts as an auxiliary drier. Prevents adsorption of the primary driers at the surface of the pigments and stabilizes the drying power. Calcium has no drying effect on binders that dry by oxidation. Improves pigment wetting and film gloss. It is used solely in combination with primary driers such as cobalt and manganese and secondary driers such as zirconium and yields synergistic effects. Used in VOC-reduced and high-solid coating systems based on alkyds and epoxy esters that dry by oxidation. Highly recommended for wood coatings and general industrial coatings.
