Borchers® Dry 0411 HS

by Borchers (Milliken)

Borchers® Dry 0411 HS by Borchers is a manganese neodecanoate (40-60%). Acts as a cobalt-free primary drier. Exhibits very good surface drying properties even after extended storage. Provides very good through-drying properties, thus enabling even drying of the applied film. The activity of the siccative metal is enhanced by its combination with an organic drying accelerator. It is used as a replacement for other primary driers, especially cobalt siccatives. Applications in either clear coats or pigmented conventional VOC-reduced air drying alkyd resin coatings, high solids coatings, and oxidatively drying coating systems and printing inks with reduced-VOC content. Highly recommended for wood coatings and general industrial coatings. It complies with FDA.
