Secondary Driers - Through Driers

Quick Access

Zirconium Carboxylate

EGEDry® Zirconium series are low viscosity, colourless to yellow zirconium carboxylates driers for coatings, based on saturated branched synthetic acids in hydrocarbon solvents suited for the end users’ needs.

EGEDry® Zirconium series are through driers which promote drying in the body of the film.

Zirconium carboxylates are good alternatives to Lead carboxylates.

EGEDry® Zirconium series also offers a suitable drier for water-based alkyds.

A balanced loading of Zirconium carboxylates will give the required drying time, and reduce loss of gloss and wrinkling.

Products Metal Concentration(%) Nature Solvent Recommended Dosage (%)
EGEDry® Zirconium Oct 24–18–12–6 2–Ethylhexanoic acid D60, WS, TOL 0,1 – 0,8
EGEDry® Zirconium Neo 18–12–6 Neodecanoic acid D60 0,1 – 0,8
EGEDry® Zirconium Neo WB 12–8 Neodecanoic acid D60 0,1 – 0,6

*WB: Water-borne(suitable for water borne system)

Stronium Carboxylate

EGEDry® Strontium series are low viscosity, colourless to yellow strontium carboxylates driers for coatings, based on saturated branched synthetic acids in hydrocarbon solvents suited for the end users’ needs. There are two strontium carboxylate technologies available;

(i) overbased, and (ii) neutral;

Overbased strontium carboxylate reaches higher metal percentages than neutral strontium carboxylate.

Both strontium carboxylates are through driers.

Neutral strontium carboxylates are less sensitive to humid environments in terms of their nature and, neutral strontium carboxylates can be used in high humidity applications.

EGEDry® Strontium series promote through drying, help prevent haze, loss of gloss and wrinkling. Strontium carboxylates are excellent, less toxic alternatives to lead carboxylates.

Overbased Strontium carboxylates are alternatives to Zirconium carboxylates (metal for metal) and Lead Carboxylates (3 parts Sr metal replace 10 parts Lead metal).

Products Metal Concentration(%) Nature Solvent Recommended Dosage (%)
EGEDry® Strontium Oct 24–18–12 2–Ethylhexanoic acid D60, WS 0,1 – 0,8
EGEDry® Strontium Neo 24–18 Neodecanoic acid D60 0,1 – 0,8
EGEDry® Strontium Oct N 10 2–Ethylhexanoic acid D60, WS 0,1 – 1,0
EGEDry® Strontium Neo N 10 Neodecanoic acid D60 0,1 – 1,0

*N refers to neutral.

Lead Carboxylate

EGEDry® Lead series are low viscosity, yellow coloured Lead carboxylates driers for coatings, based on saturated branched synthetic acids in hydrocarbon solvents suited for the end users needs.

EGEDry® Lead series are driers which promote the through drying of coating films.

Products Metal Concentration(%) Nature Solvent Recommended Dosage (%)
EGEDry® Lead Oct 36–24 2–Ethylhexanoic acid WS, TOL 0,1 – 0,9

Storage

It should be stored in cool and dry places below 30°C. Since it is a product that oxidizes easily, packages should not be open during storage. Shelf life is 60 months from the production date.
