Metallic Soap / Drier

Some metals, in form of metallic soaps can catalyze and accelerate the oxidation and/or polymerization of drying oils. These metallic soaps/driers, with a trade name 'YUKALIC', can be used to control the speed and uniformity of drying and properties of the dried film. Various applications of metallic soaps/driers includes paint and ink drier, paint additives(wetting and dispersing agent), extreme pressure agent(lubricant oil additives), combustion catalyst(for fuel oil), adhesion agent for rubber, resin hardening accelerator, anti corrossion additives, wood treatment(fungicide), waterproof agent, resin stabilizer, anti root agent, antisepticYukalic metallic soaps/driers have certain basic requisities, such as:Perfect solubility in all solvents or solvent mixtures used in the varnish industry.Good compatibility with all oleo resinous vehicles.Long storage stability without sedimentation, colour changes or oxidation occuring.*Licensed from Lonza Spa (Italy)TypePb-o 20%,24%,30%,32%,36%,38%Pb-n 20%,24%,30%,32%,36%Co-o 6%,8%,10%,12%Co-n 6%,8%,10%,12%Mn-o 6%,8%,10%Mn-n 6%,8%,10%Ca-o 4%,5%,10%Ca-n 4%,5%,10%Zn-o 5%,8%,12%,18%Zn-n 5%,8%,12%,18%Zr-o 12%,18%Zr-n 12%,18%Cu-n 5%,8%K-o 10%,15%Na-o 3%,5%Na-n 3%,5%Li 2%NoteReady mixed driers are available upon request.Upon request the products can be supplied with different metal contents from those listed.Standard solvent is white spirit, (except for lead octoate 36%& 38%, lead naphthenate 36%, cobalt naphthenate, cobalt octoate, copper naphthenate, potassium octoate, natrium octoate, natrium naphthenate, standard solvent is xylene).Upon request all the products can be dissolved in white spirit or in aliphatic solvents with a higher flash point.Storage and handlingThe driers may be stored for several months if care is taken that the drums are well closed, and storage conditions are appropriate.Owing to the presence of inflammable solvent, for safety reasons, it is advisable to avoid excessive storage temperature(if possible not exceed 25oc).Strictly avoid that driers come into contact with, or are kept near to oxidizers/peroxides.The normal practices for handling and using chemical products(wearing of gloves, goggles, protective clothing, etc. ) should be followed.
