Octa-Soligen 145 Combination of metal salts of 2-ethylhexanic acid (octoates) or their isomers Bayer-Börchers Drier / Siccative >> Combination drier Alkyd Resins Coatings >> Solventborne Octa-Soligen® 145 14 Combination drier for systems that dry by oxidation. Description Octa-Soligen® 145 is a combination drier that contains no heavy metals. It was developed specially for use in solventborne systems that dry by oxidation. Properties The synergy between the different metals in Octa-Soligen® 145 ensures uniform drying of the paint film. The primary drier yields optimum surface drying whereas the secondary drier improves through-drying. This improves the hardness of the paint film. Applications Octa-Soligen® 145 is suitable for use in all types of solventborne system based on medium-oil and long-oil alkyds that dry by oxidation. Dosing Application trials have shown the addition of Octa-Soligen® 145 to be between 3 and 6 %, calculated on the solid binder and depending on the binder and pigments used in the formulation.
