V DRY DRIERS

At the beginning the paint industry used certain metallic soaps in conjunction with linseedoil, with the technologic development those soaps became naphtenic acid derivatives and finally they promoted to oxo - acid salts, aslong as the oxo products will develop, the evolution of driers will continue. Vatan Chemicals is proud to offer low viscosity and clear coloured metal driers produced by the latest technology.

General Information about V Dry Driers

To obtain a hard and longlasting paint film one must use some metal soaps in the range of 0.1 to 1 %. phr. Those metal soaps are containing the following metals: AI, Ba, Ca, Ce, Co, Fe, Li, MG, Pb, Zn and Zr. Every metal soap effects the binding system in a different way and the metering has to be taken in consideration. Further more those metal soaps must not dissolve in water. Between those soaps cobalt, lead, manganese, iron and cerium are considered as "active" driers, calcium, zinc and zirconium soaps are considered as "secondary" driers. When an active drier is used in conjunction with a secondary drier we can talk of a "synergetic" effect. To put in a simple way the sum of 1 +1 is bigger than 2. cobalt and mangenese soaps are oxidizing the surface of the paint film to give a hard finish. The lead soaps are crosslinking the binder to complete the polimerisation of the system.
