Allnex introduces ultra-low-VOC metal drier for waterborne alkyds

Allnex introduces Additol XW 6560, an ultra-low-VOC combination metal drier designed for easy incorporation into low-VOC waterborne alkyd paints.

Additol XW 6560 has excellent compatibility with highly modified alkyds and other metal driers enabling fast incorporation in any stage of the paint manufacturing process. Furthermore, it has improved stability and paints formulated with Additol XW 6560 show lower seeding tendencies during drier incorporation.

"With much stricter VOC regulations coming into force in the USA in the near future, Allnex has taken the initiative to develop a metal drier that will not only help formulators of alkyd coatings be compliant but is also easy to use and offers optimum performance,” says Philippe De Micheli, Global Marketing Director Liquid Coating Resins and Additives. "In addition, because Additol XW 6560 can be blended with other commercial single metal driers, if necessary, formulators can customise performance for a specific system.”

Additol XW 6560 will be available worldwide this month.
