Dosage

We recommend adding Borchers^® Dry 0411 HS US after the pigment dispersion prior to adding an anti-skinning agent. Pre-thinning is not required. The dosage of Borchers^® Dry 0411 HS US is dependent upon the type and quantity of the binder and should be experimentally determined. Typical starting point levels are 0.1 – 0.5 % by weight based on binder solids.

Borchers^® Dry 0411 HS US is compatible with all other Borchers driers to improve dry characteristics.

• • Add 24 % Zirconium Hex-Cem^® to increase film hardness and improve through-dry.
  • Add 10% Calcium Cem-All^® to the pigment dispersion to improve storage stability.
  • In printing ink systems, prevent skinning by replacing phenolic-based antioxidants or butanone oxime with our phenol and oxime-free antioxidant Ascinin^® Anti Skin 0444.
