Driers for Alkyd Coating: Optimizing selection & use

A 90-min online short course by Johan Bieleman
Driers for Alkyd Coating: Optimizing selection & use
Improve drying & hardness performance of your waterborne & high-solids alkyd coatings with an optimal selection and use of dryers (Co, Mn, Ca, Zr…).

Expert Johan Bieleman will share his expertise in creating efficient dryers combination and guidance to improve tack-free time, gloss and to switch to cobalt alternatives.
Course Type Formulation - Level Intermediate
Why you should attend
  1. Optimize more easily drying and hardness with a deeper understanding of autoxidation/cross-linking in architectural and industrial coatings
  2. Troubleshoot faster problems (loss of dry, wrinkling, water retention, soft film, poor gloss, discoloration, durability…) using the right driers combination and loading
  3. Switch faster to less toxic drier solutions (cobalt/lead-free) with our expert practical tips and formulation guidance
Who is it for?
Formulators, technicians, managers involved in the development of air-drying waterborne and high solids alkyd paints, inks and varnishes.

The following sections will be covered during this session:

  1. Introduction
  2. Autoxidation and Cross-Linking of air-drying WB- and SB- paints
  3. Key characteristics of main siccatives
  4. Application of drier combinations
  5. Optimizing drier selection for waterborne alkyd paints
  6. Optimizing drier selection for high solids alkyd paints
  7. Replacing cobalt driers
  8. Problem solving by drier optimization
  9. Summary
At the end of the training there will be a Q&A Session where you can pose questions to Johan Bieleman.

A transcript of all the questions and answers will be made available after the event.

The selection of the most efficient drier catalyst, also known as siccative, is no longer a "trial & error" event: recent information on how driers work enables formulators to wisely select optimal driers for a particular system.

Furthermore, new driers have become available for waterborne and high solids paints, as well as replacements for ecologically banned products.

By attending this course, you will benefit from practical guidance to:
  • Select efficiently your surface and auxiliary driers
  • Adjust your catalyst system (composition, dosage) to maximize performance and minimize side-effects
  • Comply with newest trends: VOC levels, cobalt-free, lead-free...
