• It provides improved stain- and chemical resistance and lower gardner color numbers and can prevent wrinkles at higher film builds.
• It can be used in coatings for adverse weather conditions.
• It is recommended for all solvent-based coatings containing binders or resins that dry by oxidation including vegetable oils, epoxy esters and polybutadiene.
• Applications include wood flooring, architectural-, protective and marine coating.
• It is APEO-free, REACH and Proposition 65 compliant.
• The recommended dosage level of Borchi® OXY-Coat is 0.5-3%.

Borchi® OXY-Coat 1101 by Borchers (Milliken) is a VOC- and cobalt-free curing agent and metal-based catalyst ideal for water-based alkyd coatings. It can improve drying activity, color performance, gloss and haze compared to cobalt-based driers. It is based on a unique, patented, highly active iron complex. It is suitable for all coatings with binders that dry by oxidation.

• It provides brighter whites and lower yellow tones.
• It offers improved adhesion in direct-to-metal applications.
• It can be used in coatings for adverse weather conditions.
• Applications include wood-, industrial-, and architectural coatings, as well as printing inks.
• Borchi® OXY-Coat 1101 is APEO-free and complies with Proposition 65, REACH, environmental labels "Blue Angel" (RAL-UZ 12a) and "EU Ecolabel"(Regulation (EC) No. 66/2010, Commission Decision 2014/312/EU).
• Recommended dosage level is 0.25-2%.

• It is sustainable, clean labeled, heavy metal-free, APEO-free, HAPS-free and non-hazardous for shipping and transportation.
• It can be easily post added or added in the letdown stage.
• It is suitable for thin-film coatings, acrylic emulsions, epoxies, water reducible alkyds, polyurethanes, alkyds and urethane alkyds.
• HALOX® 580 is used for protection of waterborne clear coats, solvent-based, high solids, 100% solids paints, primer and direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.5-3.0% based on total formula weight.

Lacper® 4507 by Wanhua Chemical is a self-crosslinking acrylic copolymer emulsion. It shows high transparancy, excellent in-can and dry-film clarity because of its small particle size.

• It exhibits good film hardness, fast drying speed, good sandability and excellent chemical resistance.
• It has good adhesion to a variety of substrates such as wood, plastics such as ABS, PC and PVC.
• Lacper® 4507 contains no APEO, formaldehyde and its derivative.

HALOX® FLASH-X® 152 by ICL is an ultra-low-VOC flash rust inhibitor based on anodic passivating oxyanion. It is effective in preventing general flash rusting and weld seam corrosion. It is highly effective at relatively low loading levels as compared to other high and low VOC flash rust inhibitors.

• It is compatible with a variety of water-based resins without causing film sensitivity or package stability problems which can occur with other flash rust additives.
• It is heavy metal-, APEO-, and HAPS free.
• HALOX® FLASH-X® 152 is designed for industrial and architectural paints.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.5-1.5% to stop flash rust and 1.0-2% to stop galvanic corrosion.
