Chemelyne Sppecialities is dedicated to empowering paint manufacturers with the tools they need to stay ahead in the dynamic and demanding market landscape.

A paint drier is a chemical that accelerates the drying process of paint. Paint driers are typically composed of metal salts, such as cobalt, lead, or manganese, and they work by catalyzing the oxidation of the oil-based components in the paint. This oxidation process leads to the formation of a hard, durable film that prevents the paint from remaining tacky or smudging.

The primary function of a paint drier is to accelerate the drying process. This can be beneficial for several reasons, including:

Paint driers are typically added to paint in small quantities, usually between 0.5% and 2% of the total weight of the paint. The specific amount of drier needed will depend on the type of paint, the desired drying time, and the environmental conditions.

It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully when using paint driers. Adding too much drier can result in excessive drying and a brittle film. Conversely, using too little drier can lead to slow drying and poor paint adhesion.

Chemelyne offers a comprehensive range of paint driers tailored to specific paint formulations and applications. Whether you are producing water-based, solvent-based, or industrial paints, Chemelyne has the ideal solution to meet your unique requirements.
