  • Features

    • Based on metal salts of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (octoates) or their isomers
    • Promotes surface- and through-drying
    • Usually used with cobalt
    • High atmospheric humidity severely inhibits the effect of manganese

  • Applications

    • Pigmented coating systems
    • Architectural paints
    • Wood coatings
    • Printing inks
    • Industrial coatings

  • Dosage

    In our experience, the percentage addition of manganese, calculated on the metal content per solid binder, is approx. 0.01 – 0.05 % Mn. The exact amount required depends on the binder used should always be determined in preliminary trials.

  • Storage

    Protect from the effects of weathering and store at temperatures between 5 and 30 °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.
