ACTIV-8® Drier, Stabilizer and Accelerator
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Fast DryingImproved Ageing Resistance
- Chemical Name
- 110-Phenanthroline, 2-ethylhexanoic acid
ACTIV-8® Drier Stabilizer and Accelerator is used to improve dry times in paints and coatings that dry by oxidative polymerization. ACTIV-8 functions as a chelating agent for the primary driers cobalt and manganese. ACTIV-8 works in coating based on conventional alkyds, high solids alkyds, polyurethanes and uralkyds. ACTIV-8 is designed for solvent-borne systems.

- Drier Recommendations
For solvent-borne coatings it is recommended to use 0.2 - 0.5% ACTIV-8, based on resin solids, in combinations with cobalt or manganese driers such that there is a 10 to 1 ratio of ACTIV-8 to metal drier.. For the best overall combined performance of drying, long term loss-of-dry stability, and color, it is recommended that the driers and ACTIV-8 be preblended in a suitable solvent. Preblending, in the absence of competitive substances, allows for the proper chelation of 1,10-phenanthroline with the drier metal.
