Aluminium Drier

We have recently developed a new range of organic Aluminium Drier as an alterative drier system for high solids coatings VOC compliant systems. These Aluminium Driers function as through driers and hence are never used alone, but in conjunction with surface driers preferably Cobalt to prevent surface tack, eliminating wrinkling and offering improved resistance to film yellowing. However, it must be understood that Aluminium Driers are resin specific tending to build up viscosity in systems of high acid and /or hydroxyl number. It is being realized that alkyd vehicles need to be prepared around Aluminium Driers rather than the other way.
