Metal driers are metal carboxylate additives used in air drying alkyd paints, drying oil coatings, printing inks and related oxidatively curable systems to accelerate film formation by catalyzing autoxidation and oxidative polymerization of unsaturated binder components. They are typically supplied as soluble or dispersible cobalt, manganese, zirconium, calcium, zinc, iron, lithium, potassium, strontium, barium or mixed metal compounds in organic solvent, water dispersible or specialty carrier systems. In formulated coatings and inks, metal driers promote peroxide formation and decomposition, hydrogen abstraction and radical crosslinking, reducing set, surface and through dry time while controlling hardness development, film uniformity and final cure performance.
