Supplied byBorchers (Milliken)- Last Updated on Jun 10, 2026

Octa-Soligen® Zinc 8 by Borchers (Milliken) is a zinc-based secondary-drier. It is used in combination with primary driers (manganese or vanadium compounds). It improves through-drying, film hardness, pigment-wetting, dispersion, gloss, and color-fastness.
  • It aids in slightly increasing the dry time.
  • It can be used in high concentrations without causing discoloration of the film.
  • It prevents wrinkling and orange peel on the surface of the paint film.
  • It is used in solvent-based systems based on alkyds and epoxy esters that dry by oxidation.
  • The recommended dosage level of Octa-Soligen® Zinc 8 is 0.03-0.50% based on solid binder.
