<li>Borchers® Dry 4012 aqua US is used in oxidatively cured systems such as architectural paints, industrial coatings, and stains.</li></ul> Borchers® Deca Zirconium 18 by Borchers (Milliken) is a zirconium secondary drier, combined with primary driers such as Borchi® OXY-Coat series, Borchi® Dragon series, Borchers® Deca Cobalt, or Borchers® Deca Manganese.<br>
<ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It promotes through-drying primarily through <li>the formation of coordination bonds within the coating film.</li>
<li>It offers properties in terms of color retention, reduced yellowing, and improved storage stability.</li>
<li>Borchers® Deca Zirconium 18 is well suited for solvent-based coating systems.</li>
<li>The typical usage level is 0.05-0.30% zirconium metal, based on binder solids.</li></ul> Borchers® Deca Zinc 12 by Borchers (Milliken) is a zinc drier for solvent-based systems and used in combination with primary driers such as manganese compounds, Borchi® OXY-Coat, Borchi® OXY-Coat 1310, or vanadium-based driers.<br>
<ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It enhances through-drying and improving the hardness of the dried coating film.</li>
<li>It prevents common surface defects such as wrinkling and orange peel.</li>
<li>It extends the overall drying time, they provide several formulation benefits, including improved pigment wetting and dispersion, increase gloss, and enhances color fastness.</li>
<li>It can be used at relatively high concentrations without causing film discoloration.</li>
<li>Borchers® Deca Zinc 12 is suitable for solvent-based alkyd and epoxy ester coating systems that cure through oxidative drying mechanisms.</li></ul> Borchers® Deca Zinc 10 aqua by Borchers (Milliken) is a zinc drier commonly used as secondary drier in water-based coating systems.<br>
<ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It is used with primary driers such as cobalt, manganese compounds, or Borchi® OXY-Coat.</li>
