  • Features

    • Ensures uniform, optimum through-drying of the paint film
    • Improves hardness
    • Coatings dried with Octa-Soligen® 146 show optimal drying characteristics even after the coating is stored for an extended period of time

  • Applications

    • Pale-colored formulations
    • Conventional alkyd systems, including:
      • Alkyd urethane coatings
      • High-solids systems

  • Dosage

    Octa-Soligen® 146 can be added to the coating at every formulation step. Previous dilution in solvent or resin is not necessary. We recommend the addition during the let-down before the addition of anti-skinning agents. The addition of Octa-Soligen® 146 depends on the type and amount of binder used. Generally speaking, the addition is between 3 and 5 %, calculated on the solid binder content. The exact amount required must always be determined by preliminary trials.

  • Storage

    Protect from the effects of weathering and store at temperatures below 50 °C.

    Once opened, containers should be resealed immediately after each removal of the product

  • Safety

    Please refer to our safety data sheet for information relating to product safety.
