We adapt our products to meet specific customer needs for alkyd and water-based paints, polyester resins, and other applications.
Types of Paint Driers
These initiate surface drying quickly by catalyzing cross-linking in resins. For primary driers, we utilize octoates like cobalt, iron, manganese, cerium, and copper naphthenate. Cobalt octoate is widely used in the coating industry for surface drying, while iron octoate is effective at high temperatures. Manganese octoate is often combined with cobalt for enhanced performance, and cerium octoate excels in alkyd-based varnishes. Copper naphthenate is used as an anti-fouling agent, bactericide, and catalyst in ship bottom paints.
Ensure uniform drying throughout the entire coating layer, preventing wet film beneath the surface. In secondary driers, zirconium and strontium octoates are key players. Zirconium octoate is known for its efficiency and stability, while strontium octoate offers cost-effective auxiliary drying characteristics.
Enhance the effects of other driers without direct drying capabilities.
For auxiliary driers, calcium, zinc, and potassium octoates are commonly used. Calcium octoate enhances gloss and hardness, zinc octoate prevents wrinkling and offers mold resistance, and potassium octoate is used to reduce the “pinking” effect of cobalt.
These specialized formulations are designed to optimize the production process and performance of coatings.
PQMIX 100 and PQMIX WE streamline production and improve whiteness, PQMIX P3 enhances drying times for solvent-based resins, and PQ2002 improves color appearance and reduces costs on pigments and brighteners.
Tailored for water-based systems, these driers ensure efficient drying without compromising environmental standards, offering a sustainable solution for modern coatings.
Designed to meet regulatory requirements and environmental concerns, these driers offer effective drying without the use of cobalt, ensuring safety and compliance.
