Borchi®OXY-Coat and Borchi®Dragon are product lines for cobalt-free curing of oxidative drying type resins. Compared with traditional driers, it has the performance advantages of improved drying and non-yellowing. Borchi®OXY-Coat provides consistent drying performance in all weather conditions (hot or cold, dry or wet), extending the seasonal window of the coating and is suitable for short, medium and long oil alkyd systems. Borchi® Dragon is specifically designed to accelerate the drying performance of long oil and high solids alkyd systems; benefits include building high film thickness without wrinkling and excellent film hardness. Borchi® OXY-Coat and Borchi® Dragon products meet stringent regulatory requirements as cobalt-free alternatives. |
