Manganese Octoate - VALIREX Mn 6 D60

Manganese Paints & Coatings Drier with 6% Metal Content

VALIREX Mn 6 D60 is a manganese octoate at 6% Mn, dissolved in D60. The product is mainly used as a primary drier in paints & coatings where it accelerates oxidation and polymerization. Manganese driers improve the surface drying of the coating and possess some through drying properties. Combination with cobalt results in very well-balanced surface and through drying properties. At higher application temperature, the product can replace traditional cobalt-based carboxylates.
